Ireland: FBR with a missing document ?:

Hi You have to have certified long-form birth, marriage, divorce - if divorced from your father - and death certificates for the parent through which you are claiming Irish citizenship. You don't get these from your mother but from the state in which these events took place - if she was born & lived in the US - or from Ireland if born there. Go to the website - complete list of docs & instructions - www.dfa.ie & & go to the FBR page

Ireland: Irish FBR Applications:

You were fortunate that you could apply from a country that probably has not been overwhelmed with FBR applications. In the US the consulates are no longer processing applications and we have to do an online app and then mail all the docs to Dublin.

Ireland: Question re US docs for FBR:

Wondering if there is anyone out there who has applied for Irish citizenship through descent in the last 2 years, since the US consulates no longer process these requests. Would like to know if anyone had discrepancies in their US docs - Irish parent's or grandparent's US marriage or death certificates that contradicted the Irish birth certificate information & did this cause problems in getting approved for citizenship.

Egypt: Visa process help please:

I lived in Egypt for 4 years - 1997-2001 - and knew American & European women who were married to Egyptians - also have known women here in the US married to Middle Easterners in general. I love Egypt, had generally good experiences there, and miss many aspects and people. However, take very seriously the advice from posters on this forum who tell you to be careful. If you have children, they will legally belong to the father and if you should want to take them out of the country, you will not be able to do so without his permission, and if you should want a divorce - then things get really dicey. I've knew a woman who originally totally rejected the idea of ever wanting a divorce - but eventually did. I would strongly advise that you live in Egypt for as long as possible before marrying him - not with him, which would be really unacceptable, not with his family either. Getting a visa and having it renewed for an American is not that problematic - at least it wasn't - hopefully since the Arab Spring uprisings that hasn't changed. Friends tell me that the Egypt I knew is now very different - so you REALLy need to spend some time there & get to know some Americans or Europeans married to Egyptians. The govt was always in the face of ordinary Egyptians, but I hear it is much worse now. Do not marry this man without living there on your own for as long as possible. Getting a job for English speakers was not that difficult - maybe it still isn't.
