Some corners of this forum argue that providing citizenship via FBR to distant relatives of Irish citizens is generous. Is there some controversy around this? I'm not sure if other countries allow the same route to citizenship as Ireland, but I am very grateful that they do. I'm aware of the word p...

If you check a.s.b.o.'s posting history, you'll see he got his FBR through a long time ago and is now trolling the forum with posts like his last one. Trying to stir up resentment on here is the opposite of helpful to those, like my cousins, who are still on the waiting list. Their only option is t...

I received a response from the Minster's office and this mess appears to have been well normalised: "Due to an unprecedented surge in applications as a result of the Brexit referendum in the UK, and the pause in the Service due to Covid-19 restrictions, applicants should allow approximately 2 years ...

following extracts from the caseworker guidance EU Settlement Scheme: EU, other EEA and Swiss citizens and their family members published for Home Office staff on 21 May 2021 which states; (Page 109) A dependent relative is defined in Annex 1 to Appendix EU as either: • under sub-paragraph (a)(i), ...

Not quite the same, but I've moved house since sending off my FBR registration. I contacted them (after talking with passport webchat) to arrange return of some original documents that were needed Do I read you correctly that one can request return of the necessary documents even whilst the applica...

That's right. Home Office is acting with great impunity these days. A following response to my MP request was received: " In order to safeguard an individual’s personal information and comply with our obligations under the UK General Data Protection Regulation as tailored by the Data Protection Act ...

2 years, bloody heck. It used to take weeks, months at most, but certainly not years before Brexit escapees (who might have voted for one, actually) clogged the pipeline. Really nice.

There was a deadline for that of June 30th 2021.
After that date, financial dependency is no longer assumed.

I see. It is good we applied for EUSS FP on behalf of my mother in law before that cut-off date.

Provided you got married before 31st December 2020 and that you provide proof of your in laws financial dependency on yourself, then yes, they can still apply.

isn't financial dependency assumed and therefore requires no proof?

We received a settled status BRP, which is valid only until 31 December 2024. Why it is not valid for 10 years as some other BRPs received by other family members. Is it something I need to report to HO to rectify?

"The government has informed the European Commission and is working to implement this generous approach to provide further clarity to EU citizens. Further details will be published in due course"

I think all EU countries adopted the same approach to similarly clueless British to a much lesser furore

The second parent needs to have settled status. It is you apply at the same time or are already British AND the other parent having ILR/settled status. All clear, thank you for taking time to clarify our position. As a run-away question, what form should we be using once time and documents are righ...

Neither child qualifies to apply for citizenship. One parent must be applying too or already be British and the other parent must have settled status. Thank you CR001 for clarification. Does it make any material difference if (1) I wait for the second parent to gain settled status or (2) apply for ...

What is the UK immigration status of the other parent?

pre-settled status

What are their entitlement to British Citizenship (if any) In addition to CR001 's advice above, a quick note that children born outside the UK don't have an entitlement to British citizenship. Applications for registration of children born abroad as British citizens is at discretion, not an entitl...

I am an Irish citizen with a document certifying permanent residence in UK issued in 2017. I had both my kids born outside of UK and Ireland. The eldest is an Irish citizen and never applied for UK's EU settlement scheme. The youngest child is non-EU citizen with a settled status (Indefinite leave t...

Yes. You can exercise your treaty rights at a different EU country (which means you are no longer subject to the 40K euro financial requirement) and apply for a visa for your non-EU dependent in that country under EU Treaty rights. Once that's done, you have the rights to relocate back to Ireland w...

Correct and correct. There is no automatic right to family reunification for Irish citizens. This has always been the case. In order to sponsor a non-EU family member for a visa, the Irish citizen sponsor must satisfy certain financial requirements. Automatic family reunification rights apply to EU...

Thank you for a comprehensive answer even if I was hoping for a bit more protection for Irish citizens effectively not to be barred from moving to the country of their citizenship through barring of their family members from visiting, to be enshrined in the national/EU legislation. So, do I understa...

Please do not judge my question through the lens 'he thinks that his case is more compelling than ours' as your circumstances may differ significantly from mine. I will be thankful for your comments on the question as is. Given: an FBR applicant, a 1 y.o child of mine. I an an Irish citizen in a pro...

The UK does not like migrant a lot, it operates an hostile environment policy against migrant, so do not expect an easy ride. I think there is a gulf between the 'settled foreign nationals' and 'migrants'. UK discourse appears to conflate a yet non-contributing alien arriving at doorsteps with a (p...

What is the current threshold for Irish citizens proving to take residence back in Ireland? In Uk, historically, the bar for the first three months has been extremely low, whereby 'looking for job', 'looking around' was sufficient to bring a spouse under EEA Family Permit. What is the transposition...

Only EU/EEA/Swiss citizens (with the exception of Irish) have the automatic right to bring certain family members when they move to Ireland. Refugees have de facto automatic right as well. For all other people, there is no automatic right. The sponsor must meet a number of requirements in order to ...

write to H.M The Queen - not that she has much to do with Ireland - but she should be aware of what's going on!

I doubt her old Britannic majesty has any say in Irish affairs since 1921. I prefer to keep things this way
