Re: Indian Citizenship

I had carefully gone into the facts narrated by you in your reference.

As you say that you are an Indian by birth and you wife is a refugee from Srilanka and is 37 tears old , your marriage was held 15 years back. by registration

To obtain Indian citizenship your wife has to submit an application in relevant form to the Collector/District Magistrate of the area where the applicant is resident. The application has to be accompanied by all the documents and fees payments as mentioned in the Forms. Each application is examined in terms of the eligibility criteria under the Citizenship Act, 1955 and the Citizenship Rules, 1956.
