Hi Federal,

Thanks for your very useful reply. Was the wrong name on the PR card one you were previously known by or was it a mistake in some way? Glad to hear that it was sorted in the end with regards to the biometrics, and best of luck with the processing of your application.

Hi there, Thanks for your replies. She has all her new Polish documents now which have the name changed. The date on the new passport is just the day before the PR card was issued so hopefully it should be relatively obvious that it wasn't possible to send this to the HO to get it changed on the ...

Thanks for the reply - my comment about the illogicality was just pointing out that if all the facts of our case remained the same and I was, for instance, German rather than British then my fiancee could become a British citizen, but since I am British she might not be able to become a British ...

So if I was of another EEA nationality my partner could become a UK citizen (assuming I met CSI requirements), but since I'm British she can't... I suppose railing against the illogicality of this really acheives nothing though. While she was a student the Polish health service would have paid her ...

So here is the situation. My fiancee came to the UK from Poland to study 5 years ago, and we met a few weeks after she arrived, have been together since.
