Hi,
I want to apply for British citizenship but I have two big doubts. Hopefully someone can help me.
Im unsure if the fact that I had different types of visa will be a problem.
Im mexican and my husband Fench. I have been living in the Uk for 7years and my husband has been living and working in the uk for 10 years.
I have had 3 types of visa so far...
I first had student visa
then a visa as a familily member of a person with settlement? (I could apply for a cheaper type of visa, as a family memeber of a european citizen... but I didnt know about that and I was confused with all that visa information)
and for the last 2 years? I have a visa as a family member of a european citizen...
So the question is. Do you think Im eligible to apply for a permanent residence document? regardless I had different types of visa?? Or the 5 years period that gives you permanent residence status has to be under the same type of visa?
And my second question is very related...
I want to apply to citizenship with a permanent residence document.. I think this is the fastest way as if I apply througt settlement, I need to wait a year more...
I read that you need to prove you have been living in the uk for 6 years to apply for citizenship inmediatly after getting the permanent residence document. I have been her for 7 years so thats ok. BUT I havent been married to what they call the european sponsor (as Im a full time mum) for 6 years. Our wedding anniversary number 6 will not be until december this year.
It is confusing.... I know... (and much more frustrating not to understand all this papers) but hopefully I managed to write down my ideas properly and someone can help me understanding if Im a candidate to get the British citizenship...or if it is better to wait.
Thankyou in advance
