ILR

[fluffyone]

Long story short my husbands application for ILR was refused in Oct 2015 said we used the wrong forms and applied again, They kept all the documents ie; Marriage licence, passports, husbands id card, all the kids and my birth certs. Just before easter 2016 they wrote looking the kids birth certs and the marriage licence, sent forms back stating they already had these as they where kept from the 1st application, Today got a letter asking for me to prove i am a british citizen and for the kids british passports or other travel document which proves they are british too, I hold dual nationality i have an Irish passport and so do my kids I was born in N.IRELAND before Jan 1983 my parents where born in N.IRELAND which means i am a British citizen...My question is how do i prove im a british citizen without a passport? Is my birth cert not enough it states the date i was born and the town/country..I dont want to just send a letter explaining about my birth cert and the 1983 law regarding british nationality as the letter also stated if i did not send the required info in 6 days the application would be considered based on the info they hold

Did your spouse apply for ILR or for PR? Previous posts indicate PR and EEA route. What was your partners immigration status before applying for ILR/PR?

Because i wasnt working and exercising my treaty rights they said he could not apply for the eea route and asked him to apply via (i think it was exceptional circumstances)when the 1st letter arrived it stated your application for ILR. before applying he had a 5 year eea spouse visa

How long has he been in the UK?

He can't apply for ILR (which is under the UK immigration rules) if he was on a EEA residence card.

6 years...they refused his EEA application an told him he needed to have health insurance and to apply on the new form they told him

And which form did they send him or tell him to apply on? What was the fee you paid for this application?

Why didn't he apply for another 5 year residence card?

im not sure but they just quoted him a number and told him to print the forms of and fill them in ( it was 1 of the FLR ones) it cost £700 for the application.. they said he didnt qualify for another residence card as i was not working and exercising treaty rights
Sorry it was the FLR-O which cost £811
