Application type AN6(2) vs AN6(1)?

Post by eumumto2 » Fri Nov 24, 2017 3:42 pm

Hello,
recently my husband has applied to BC via NCS and he has ticked the box with the aplication type AN6(1).
We both are from EU, and I got my BC earlier this year.
Now he received the letter from Home Office about the biometric enrolment and it states that it is the application type AN6(2)!
Is that mistake?
The rules are not easy understandable. We are married since 2005, so my husband is married to British Citizen for few months(as I am a BC from May 2017), but in my understanding he had acquired his opportunity to become a BC not under the marriage but under the 7-years lasting full-time working. Actually it's me who is dependant on him financially.
Do we need to do anything with the type of application?

There is no 'dependent' aspect to citizenship.

If you included your marriage cert and your passport with his application then he is likely being considered as spouse of BC under section 6(2).

You don't need to do anything as both 6(1) and 6(2) have the same end result, there is no difference in citizenship granted.

Thank you for the answer!
The only problem could be in this situation - if the applicant was in the UK 3 years ago instead of 5 years ago. I already checked - my husband was in the UK, so hopefully all is ok.

As I understand it, the same naturalisation application gets considered under both 6(1) and 6(2).
This is not intended to be legal or professional advice in any jurisdiction.
