Joe, you are comparing yourself with the Bulgarian national
I know a filipina who married a Polish national, both are living and working here.
The filipina has been informed by the British embassy in London that she won't, as the law stands today, be able to apply for British citizenship, even though the Polish national will.
Its no odds to me either way, im just sharing what I actually know.
If im proved wrong then great.
Cheers
Mark
