EU route to naturalisation or UK route?
Posted: Sat Oct 12, 2013 4:40 pm
Hi forum
I wondered if you could advise which route would be best for my friend to take to apply for naturalisation.
She was first a moroccan national and applied for a 6 month visa to enter UK - Nov 2006. She married her French husband and applied for 5 year RC as he was a worker - 2007-2012.
They have 3 sons together.
- She applied for PR which was granted in her Moroccan passport May 2013.
- She applied for French passport granted in June 2013 based on marriage to a French national. Shes now an EEA national but not exercising treaty rights.
-Her husband naturalises in 2010 and becomes a British national. (dual national as he still has his French passport i believe).
She would now like to naturalise before 28 Oct but if she applies as a morocan national she would have to wait 1 yr after the PR was granted in her moroccan passport.
She has not been exercising treaty rights to apply as a French national although her husband has always been and still is a worker.
She would like to apply on the basis of her husband being a British national - is this possible? Although his naturalisation certificate and his British passport were stolen in a burglary which has been reported to the police.
Can anyone advise?
