In answer to Question No. 213 on 12 December 2006, I informed the Deputy that the applicant in this case did not satisfy the residency requirements for Citizenship at the date of application. Initially, it appeared to officials processing the application that the applicant had accumulated sufficient reckonable residency to enable her submit a fresh application. However, on further examination, it became apparent that this was not the case and the applicant was so informed on 26 February 2007.
