Citizenship Tossers (1 Viewer)

[KokaneeCowgirl]

Ok, so last year I applied for post-nuptial Irish citizenship. At that stage I had been married to an irishman for 4 years, working hard, paying taxes, etc. etc. My application was rejected because the solicitor who vouched for me hadn't known me personally (I'm sorry - but how many immigrants to a new country would be on personal terms with a solicitor, for fuck sake? ) And then the citizenship fuckers decided that they wouldn't allow anyone to apply for citizenship based on marrying an irish citizen anymore, so I wasn't able to apply on those grounds again.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I receive a letter stating that my application was rejected (DUH) and inviting me to apply on other grounds WHICH CAN TAKE UP TO 30 MONTHS! But I have to somehow prove that I will stay in Ireland for a couple of years after I'm granted citizenship.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing in the past?

I'm so pissed off I'm considering eating glass for relief.

Rant over.

Just tell them that you can never go back to your home country, as the minute they find out you're back without the drugs "I'M A DEAD GIRL.. DEEEEEAAD!"

Fell outta a vagina once already, unfortunately it was in Canada.


I could always allege I was victimised in my home country 'They beat me because I can't say ABOOT the way they do...'

Yes, I have 'leave to remain' because I am married to said Irish citizen, but I can't get citizenship based on the marriage. They closed off the possibility last year of anyone ever applying for irish citizenship based on marriages to irish citizens. Which is absolutely fucking absurd if you ask me.

Not a bad idea. Next time when I courier an application to the cunts I'll make sure to have the courier stress that it's from a whitey.

Why do you need citizenship if you've leave to stay? Is it for voting?

Well I don't know if I would vote really, but I mean, I'm here 5 years, I have 'integrated' as they say and I would like dual citizenship. Also, it makes travelling in the EU much easier.

I'm also paranoid that should anything ever happen while abroad (ie. all hell breaks loose) my other half and I would be separated based on passports.

I thought I would try to reason with them before I brought the Smackdown.

Maybe I should reconsider?

why did they do that anyway? and why? to stop convenience citizenship marriages? pretty cynical if so.

I'm not sure but probably for the same reason that a child being born in Ireland no longer has the right to stay in Ireland before they are 18.

Plainly put it was probably to stop non-whites gaining citizenship so easily.
