Quick update. I've just spoken to someone on the webchat service. At least he was a bit more helpful than the previous guy and didn't cut me off early. I found out they're not actually connected to the FBR, which I didn't realise - they're on the FBR section of the website, so I assumed they were se...
@IrishNJUSAMan - I'm in the UK and I got through to the webchat, but it was useless. The guy told me to email; I said I already had and he said "try again" and hung up. I suppose I'll try again tomorrow with no expectation of getting anywhere. There's no living family members left who attended my p...
Has anyone had any luck with writing to the DFA? If so, what address did you use? The address given in the DFA's email is different to the one that you send your FBR application to.

Completely disagree - at the end of the day the fact is, they do offer citizenship by descent.

I had a similar issue in that I was not able to find a civil marriage record either, though my grandparents presented themselves as legally married. I hired an attorney, performed an exhaustive search for records which cost me a decent chunk of change paying for each record request, and then had to...

Hello all. Well, I appear to be up s*** creek with my FBR application. Applied August 2019. Didn't hear anything until two days ago, when I got an email rejecting my parents' marriage certificate.
