EEA Application with a dual nationality

[talljamz]

Hi all,

I posted here a few months ago and I'm close to making a decision but had a few final questions that I would appreciate some feedback on.

Situation :

I have a British and French passport. I currently live in Mexico with my Mexican wife. We're recently married and she's visited the UK before, but only as a tourist. We've been living together for just under 2 years in Mexico - we've been dating for 5 years..

We're planning on moving to London before the end of the year. We have a choice of either going for the UK Spouse Visa application or the EEA Family Permit application. We're leaning towards the EEA Family Permit application with the cost being a major factor. We're close to pushing the submit button but I have a few technicalities that I can't find answers for - any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. When I entered Mexico 2 years ago I was traveling with my British Passport - therefore the Mexican Visa passport that I will send off to prove my legal staying in Mexico will state that I am British.

2. For the same reason as the above my wedding certificate states that I am British.

3. I also have my French passport here in Mexico so I can prove my French nationality.

Question 1. Does having a dual British / EU nationality affect my wife's application ?

Question 2. Does the fact that some of my paper work state my nationality as British and the Passport I submit as French affect our application - should we in this case go for the UK Spouse Visa (using my UK passport)?

Question 3. If the EEA Family Permit will still work - is submitting my original French Passport sufficient or will I need to also supply a certified copy (certified by the French Embassy here in Mexico).

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jamie
