Urgent responses needed please

[louise.]

I have posted before about this , not sure if was here though , but I am in need of urgent advice.

I applied for the FBR Irish citizenship through descent , the embassy been been very patient with me as one document is missing my Irish born grandmother photo ID. She refuses to send it. I have tried for couple months now, phoned her asked other family so called family members to mediate even wrote asking her to send it direct , she wont. My grandmother and I are not close I know that's more than likely the reason why for her refusal. The embassy have been wonderful but wont process it without her ID and have given me a week to either get the ID in or get my documents sent back. I am so angry at my grandmother, im trying to reunite with my American husband and I could just cry.

Please can someone advise me if the embassy should process my application without her photo ID? they have everything else, birth/marriage certificates everything. Is there a way? The surindar singh route is a desperate last measure, as I have two children from previous relationship one of which starting options for gcses, to take them out of school , lose school places , leave our home for possible months seems impossible. I would also lose my job here. Hense the renunciation of british citizenship way. It is the most non disruptive way to reunite with my husband.Im ashamed to be british , and hurting that every thing I do to just have a normal family life is failing.

Don't need to go through that step I believe your partner can qualify using FLR (FP) as you have children under 18.

Could you please explain to me please the details.

The thought of spending more time away from my husband with no date for our reunion is really starting to get me down.
