You comment appears to be a modern and forward thinking concept, suggested by a thoughtful and intelligent person.

For some reason I hear "Let them eat cake". I seem to be drawing an unconscious link between Queen Marie Antoinette and her comment on hungry peasants with the OP post and the current Republican right.... I wonder why.

Please note that I am aware that she ( Marie Antoinette) probably did not say that but the sentiment is intact...

I'll say I'm surprised that you apologised, NOT because I didn't think that much of you, but because it's a topic that there are rarely apologies over.

Its good you hold me in such High esteem....

Well lets put my ignorance on the matter in the past.

Here is one. Virginians do not understand me when I say the number eight. It has got to the point were I have to say " You know, the number between 7 and 9". Makes ordering a number 8 meal at a McDonalds drive through interesting...

Drive through - another chance for anecdotes. But I am not going there. Dark times.

Ummmmm. I need to apologize to Rinara. I let my heart rule my head. I have reread some things on Irish/British Citizenship and I stand corrected. I have asked for my previous post to be deleted. I wish the OP the best of luck with their journey.

Thank you Ontarkie for deleting my post.

On a slightly related note. It is silly that the ROI is still dishing out Irish passports to Northern Ireland citizens if they want one. The countries have been separate for approaching 100 years.

Rinara, if you are resident in the ROI you will be processed through Dublin.

Oh, I just came across this information on an unrelated website.

I was born in Northern Ireland. Am I British?

If you were born before 1 January 1983, the answer is yes (unless your father was an Irish diplomat).

If you were born on or after 1 January 1983, the position is more complex. You will be automatically British if one of your parents was a British citizen (but not a British subject) at the time of your birth. This applies whether they had a British passport or not.

If neither parent was a British citizen, you will still be British automatically if either of your parents was ‘settled’ in the UK. This is defined as being ordinarily resident and having permission to stay indefinitely in the UK. Irish citizens are given this permission automatically, so the only issue would be whether your parents were living in Northern Ireland at the time you were born. If that was the case, then you are British automatically, if not (eg they were on holidays) then you will not be British from birth.

So a person's nationality depends on when they were born, and their parents' nationality, too. Good to keep in mind.

So a lot of words saying if your born in UK soil your British...... With a few minor get out clauses.

Yes thank you for the information but I've been reviewing these documents on and off for two years now this is not something I'm just filling out on the fly. I'm very aware of all the documents that I need and I required of me my question was only if the non-petitioning fiancé in other words my foreign fiancé also needed to supply documents and his own statement.

Just making sure... Sounds like you have things under control.

Yes thank you...it's the fiancé visa and I am filling out form I-129 F

Please read the I129F instructions carefully.

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf

Take time to digest what USCIS wants from you and don't just jump straight into the form.

Copies of legal documents, other additional forms, pictures, evidence of your meeting etc.

It has been over 5 years since my wife file I129F and started the ball for me so my memory is fading. But Yes proof of meeting in the last 2 years, pictures and other evidence IS a requirement. There is a good guide and example forms here on this board that I used and things went well.

The Consulate in Belfast ,like the ones in Scotland and Wales do not handle immigration visa's. Only London.

Hi!

I'm in the middle or filling out form I-129 and had a couple of questions.

1)My fiance's name on his passport is different that that he typically uses (it's in irish on his passport but in all other instances he uses the English spelling), which should be put on the form?

2) He lives in Northern Ireland and was born there, but he carries an irish passport. Do I put country of citizenship as Ireland or uk?

3) they don't ask that he provides proof of meeting in the past 2 years or for details of how we met but he should also write a letter with this info or only me as the petitioner?

Thank you all so much for your help!

Here is my understanding.

1 .Use his legal name. The one on his birth certificate / the one on his passport. The one used on all legal documents.

2. Even though he is entitled to carry an Irish Passport and claim Irish citizenship, being born in Northern Ireland makes him a UK citizen. Like it or loathe it that is a fact. Also his medical and interview WILL be done in London. Do not try and force it through Dublin. It will not happen. Others have tried, failed and caused themselves aggravation.

3. For I129F that is primary evidence. You do need to prove you have met at least once in the last two years.

Can you take the NCLEX outside the US?

And are we not overlooking the obvious of a little thing called a work visa as well.

This all seems very dodgy.....

BFS - Belfast International

DUB - Dublin

Seems Legit.

Anybody who had to go through Eurovision for a start.

Oh I miss Eutrovision. But why is Australia in it. Bring back Sir Terry.....err sorry off topic.

I'm curious. Are you implying that Ronald Reagan was simply an insincere actor who had no love for the American way, the American people, and simply uttered words to placate? Seriously?

I am sure he was very sincere about the words he had memorized.

I cannot comment on his patriotism, I never knew the man personally.

All I am saying is that his years of acting allowed him to be a more convincing president. To deliver his lines in a heartfelt way. I find most politicians utter words to placate. It is how they get votes.

A good actor reading his lines well...

Nick Nick, thanks for the check list. Yes that is the one I worked from and sent copies of all the required documents. I sent copies of the last 3 years tax transcripts for part 4.

just completed Bio metrics on Wednesday so lets see what the outcome is in about 3 months.

Thanks.

Do you need evidence of an on going relationship when you interview for citizenship if applying under the 3 year rule?

I thought I saw on here somewhere, were an interviewee was asked for some evidence. If so what do I need.

Hi everyone, i'm new here, looking for some answers!

So, i will try to explain the best i can.. My gf is Filipina and married but separated for 3 years but never anul, now she is working in Thailand and will visit me with a tourist visa, my question is, can i marry her in my country even she is not annul in Philippines? she have her birth certificate and passport with only her name not her married name. when we get married are they going to check with the Philippine embassy to see if she is married?

thank you

The bit in red is a BIG clue.... The answer is NO.

Early finger prints On richmond hwy, Virginia. I got there at 10:30am and was done by 11:17am. Alot of people. But the line was going pretty fast. And they did not ask any questions about me having my appointment early.

I am in Virginia and is that my local office or is Washington? Will I my interview there?

Sorry, where were you finger printed?

For Virginia there are two USCIS field offices. One in Norfolk and one in Washington DC with Norfolk handling a large geographical area.

look at this link.

It depends which county you live in. Here is a link

I'm Cornish. I've had to explain what/where that is, too, and what all that "recognised national minority" stuff was that happened.

Ohh just like the pastie.... nice

I think I'm too tired to feel anything right now but... Part of me is slightly deflated that it took a year of my life to get fifteen minutes of standing in front of windows, but what's the alternative? Would I rather them grill me? No. I'm happy of course but just too worn down to do any more planning until I've had at least eight hours.

Yes, deflated was exactly how I felt. After all the paperwork and waiting for 15 minutes of standing in front of windows.

My wife was so excited on the phone and all I felt was, "Is that it"?

Congratulations, good luck and look forward to all the future paperwork.

I am so out of touch, but since when could you choose where you file your application?
