Seblux, Did you also skip Phase 1? I e-mailed the Ministry to ask about my case since it was my grandfather and great grandparents who immigrated to Canada in 1923. I asked in my e-mail if Luxembourg nationality would transfer to my father me. I'm still not really clear on how it works and so I'm a bit stumped after reading Flavia and Fabio's experiences of having skipped Phase 1. At any rate, interesting discussion and thanks for the information! Hi Hollerich! By reading ReLux's post I believe it is clearer for me now that the Luxembourgish who emigrated to America probably had to be naturalized and that's why you didnt skip phase one. Here in Brazil, the immigrants landed on a jungle and were not asked to naturalize. We hardly had registry offices at that time. I had to find the documents before 1920 in churches. I guess it solves the mistery. Flavia, Thanks. I understand. I believe my Grandfather and Great Grandmother indeed did naturalize. However, I have never been made aware of any documents showing this. This must be the reason why my file was required to move from Phase 1 to Phase 2 instead of going straight to the certificate of nationalite. |

Just received a certificate of non-existence of record from US Citizenship and Immigration Services today for my Great-Great Grandfather!

By the way, I am working on a Business Plan with Luxinnovation right now. Decided I want to keep being an entrepreneur in Lux and not a cleaning employee. rsrs Hope it works out. I am also planning to start my Phd next year at University of Luxembourg. I keep on planning my new life in my ancestors country.
I was happy to see that the Prince and Princess were here. Luxembourg has been on the media these last weeks.

I am also planning to start my Phd next year at University of Luxembourg. A couple of questions: 1. What is the tuition for a doctorate if you are a Luxembourg citizen? 2. Have you contacted the university? What was involved in applying for admission? Did you need to submit notarized transcripts and degree copies? 3. What subject do you intend to study? What is your master's degree in? 4. Are there any student loans or scholarships available to Luxembourg citizens for university studies? I'm also interested in studying in Europe but when I looked up the University of Luxembourg I thought that it was a very small school with limited program offerings. |

Hi John! The tuition is just 200 euros the semester. I spoke to the Professor in charge of my area of study (Linguistics and Education) and it seemed fine. I just can't enroll now because I need the address first and I will have to present my Master's Degree that needs to go through the Ministry of Education for it to be validated. But registers are opened all year long. There are scholarships available, but I am going self-funding. There are three faculties wwwen.uni.lu/faculties It is worth browsing the University website to check what is available. There is also Germany and the Netherlands, France, Belgium... I guess only UK really charges for the education. |

That's it? When you say that you need the address, do you mean an address in Luxembourg? Do you mean that you have to be living in Luxembourg and have an address in Luxembourg before you can apply to study there? Is this because they are regarding you as a Luxembourg applicant and not a foreign overseas student? Thanks for the information. |

Isn't the price amazing?  I don't know if you can enroll from abroad. I actually didnt ask them. But I got the online form and it asked for the address, so I stopped there and thought to myself "let's go through it when I am settled there. Dont need to rush that much!". hehehe |

It seems that the main university campus for social sciences is not too far from Luxembourg City. That would make it easy to commute from the city to the campus if you are working and living in the city. There are direct buses and trains that leave Gare. Yeah, 200 Euro a semester is only two-hundred and fifty dollars. You mentioned, Germany, Netherlands, etc., however, I believe their tuition fees are much higher. Even for EU citizens. But, I think EU citizens can received free tuition in countries like Norway, Sweden and I think Scotland. You'll have to check Scotland, I read it a few years ago and so I'm not sure if that is still the case. So, as an EU citizen, there are countries where you are eligible to attend university without paying tuition fees. |
