The response we had was via email. We are not banking on a result happening anytime soon, probably a result of some sort within this year, the whole process is a joke..

Americans don’t need to apply for an EEA family permit to come to the UK, but you will need a family permit if you would like to work while waiting waiting on the residence card which can take up to 6 months.

We had a response from a TD who contacted INIS on our behalf, they said in their reply it is not uncommon for applications to take 2 years or more.. ridiculous.

Good luck waiting on anything from them , my wife applied as the spouse of an Irish citizen living in Northern Ireland, been waiting 1 year and 6 months, no result. Don’t go by other people’s timelines as it means nothing, all you can do is wait basically.

Hello, hope you are well, I would like to know if you and your husband were successful in your application for the residence card?

Apparently many people do not get a second stage letter and just go straight to an approval. If you look at other people’s time lines on here, it seems to be non Eu family based on 5 years residence seem to be getting their approvals the fastest. I think it also depends on where the applicant is fro...

@ghzsherazi he was asked to send recent utility bills and bank statements. I’ve not really heard about that from someone applying with 3yrs marriage to Irish citizen from NI. My wife’s application is based on 3 years marriage to an Irish citizen from NI, she applied in July 2017, in October 2018 we...

I called UKVI this morning they told me that it is possible to switch to UK visa as long as we meet the other requirements and that the turnaround times were 8 weeks. One of the requirements is that your wife be in the UK lawfully or that it would be unreasonable or infeasible for your British chil...

My child is british/irish citizen and the mother has Irish and British passport and i applied with my child

What was your immigration status before you applied for FLR (FP) ?

we've been waiting since July 2017

I was able to get through today and this time the lady on the phone said that everything looks fine and I should get a letter informing of next steps in february. She did mention I dont need to send any more documentation so I guess the next step is the final answer. I asked if she could tell me if...

I contacted my local MP today who will be forwarding a letter on behalf of my wife to find out what is going on with her application, it's ridiculous how people are waiting so long.

I applied for the citizenship as EU passport holder (German), so not sure do they have one team for EU citizens or whatever or they are just all the same.

When did you submit your application for naturalisation?

i also got an reply from team 7. Generally people here are getting reply from teams 1,2,3,4,5 so no idea about team 7

it’s been almost 1 year and 6 months since my wife applied so I’m hoping it can’t be too far away now, here’s hoping

they send the same templates in stage one and two, so unless you have a letter stating you're in stage two, you're in stage one, but then you can be in stage two for a while :( Many people have got approvals without a stage 2 letter, we emailed them the other day and got a response from citizenship...

You should not have applied for British citizenship so early, but waited until your spouse had completed five years under EU law and acquired PR. Does your wife have any residence in the UK before 2013/her marriage to you? Have you formally renounced your original EEA citizenship? I.E. did you writ...

I think it's possible but I wonder why would you want to do that? The Surinder Singh route is a much quicker and cheaper way of gaining PR and naturalisation. Hello, we won’t qualify for permanent residence as i wasn’t a qualified person for 5 years continuously. So looking at other options. I call...

hello, my wife is in the UK under Surinder Singh I would just like to know if its possible for my wife to apply for a UK partner/family visa under UK immigration rules even though she has an EU/UK residence card?

Hello, does anyone know what the average processing time is for Irish naturalisation? My wife applied back on the 5th July 2017 and still no result from her application?

The reason why it was refused is because your husband is a dual citizen but first and foremost is a British citizen, I’m also from Northern Ireland. I have been told from quite a few sources that if your husband renounced his British citizenship you can then rely on EU rules to remain in the UK, I a...

My wife applied for Irish naturalisation in July 2017 and still no decision on her application. Hello did your wife get her second stage letter ? No letter saying second stage but in April received a letter saying that it’s still being processed etc.. then in October asked for further evidence of b...
