Great. Thanks for your reply. Hopefully now that EU citizens will have rights under Brexit he won't even need British Citizenship!dhyperion wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 3:40 pmYou can also call the helpline to get advice on the form. Can't seem to find the number now but others have posted in on this website.
If the application is fairly straightforward (which I suspect it will be in your husband's case) I don't think you'll need an immigration lawyer, and I suspect you didn't need one for the PR either. I did it all myself and it went fine, as long as you pay attention to the detail(s), read all the guides thoroughly and organise all your paperwork you should be fine.
If you're still worried about the form you can use the NCS service provided by your local council, they will check the form and all the documents for a fee, certify and make copies so you don't have to send originals and send the form for you. Fees vary but it won't be anywhere near the cost of a lawyer.

I'm a dual citizen already (EU + US) and this isn't what I was advised by Home Office or NCS staff. I was told to list all nationalities in the nationality field, but where it asks for "Current passport/travel document number" put the number of my EU passport. So that's what I did. Based on their further communications, Home Office staff have clearly understood that I've applied based on my EU nationality and subsequent residence. Then again, my two nationalities fit in that (not very large) nationality field, so your mileage may vary...dhyperion wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 3:32 pmHi monkeyface
Question 1. Put the details of his Dutch nationality as I'm presuming this was the basis of his PR (only EU nationals can get PRs - everyone else gets ILRs) and it's this PR as a Dutch/EU national which makes him eligible to apply for citizenship. List the other nationalities in the "additional information" section. They will link his citizenship application to his PR and get all the details anyway and match it.
Question 2. I would put down unemployed in occupation and list the employment history. Possibly "strike out" the other boxes to show they are not applicable.
Question 3. Since you are married I suspect your Brother's girlfriend may be deemed as family or relative. This is a bit of a grey area but to be on the safe side I would ask a close friend instead who fits the referee criteria. When in doubt go for the safer option!
So am I. To be honest - it doesn't matter if you put it there or in the additional info section - as long as you list it.randomperson wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2017 11:28 amI'm a dual citizen already (EU + US) and this isn't what I was advised by Home Office or NCS staff.
