An application for post nuptial citizenship for the person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship Section of my Department on 27 June 2005.

Processing of this application is still ongoing and it is anticipated that the file will be completed in the near future. The legal representatives of the individual concerned recently contacted the Department to state that they no longer represent the individual and this has resulted in delays in processing. Officials in the Citizenship (post-nuptial) Section will be in contact with the individual concerned as soon as the application is completed.

I am informed by the Immigration Division that the person in question has not made an application for Long Term Residency.
