    My boyfriend is American and I am Irish. He has just left Iraq to live with me but now we are having all sorts of problems with wprk permit etc. His Father was German and his Mother is half polish and half French. Is he entitled to dual citzenship? I would really appreciate any information on this.

    The entitlement of dual citizenship rests on the countries he wants to claim citizenships from. The USA allows dual citizenships, though I'm not sure about Germany, Poland or France. You might want to ring their respective embassies or go to their websites and do a search.

    Now, if you guys are married, you can go about it 2 ways.

    One is for him to go back to the US and apply for an EEA Family Permit in the New York office of the UK Embassy, which I did. It takes them 5 business days to process the application,no red tape whatsoever. In a little over a week, he could be back in the UK, and can work immediately, and the only proof he needs to show is the EEA Family Permit in his passport.

    Other way is for him to process his second citizenship (and this may take ages), but once he is granted that second citizenship and holds a passport, then he can come to Europe anytime without restrictions and work permits.

    Thanks for that information. To be honest we have discovered difficulties in tracing his ancestory. We are engaged but neither of us want to rush into anything for the wrong reason. He has been serving in Iraq for the last two years and though we have seen each other as often as possible, we really want to live together first. Yet every way we go we run into obstacles. i can only stay in the States for 90 days on a fiancee VISA and though he has tried to get a company to sponsor him in ireland, we have had no luck!! Do you have any suggestions. We are both absolutely miserable without the other and are trying to research every avenue before having to get married.
    Thanks so much for the help.

    I understand your concern on not wanting to get married, just to make things easier regarding visas and permits. YOu should get married because you WANT to, not because you HAVE to. So both of you are doing good.

    Having said that, you might want to do some research about getting an EEA Family Permit or something similar, but for unmarried partners / co-habiting partners visa (or permit). It has been talked about in the forums but unfortunately, I know very little about this. Hopefully EasyExpat will be able to answer this one for you.

    Concerning the EEA Family Permit being applied to Unmarried Partners, I can tell you now that no British Embassy will accept co-habitation, for however many years, unless you have a "very good" reason not to marry. And there is only one "very good" reason in their books - if it is legally impossible for you to wed (ie. if you are a same-sex partnership in a country where same-sex marriage is not accepted by law). My lawyer told me that the Embassies have a very loose definition of the term spouse - this is not true. The British Embassy in Paris told us not to bother handing our forms in if we weren't married, and likewise all the Embassies in the US. The Home Office website lays down the rules very clearly - for them spouse means wife/husband and please don't let a lawyer tell you otherwise.
