Re: Renting a room by non EU, separate from EU wife in the U Sorry to hear that. There are two basic options. The first is retention of...
These situations can be quite complicated, and it all depends on the details. The solid facts are: Cohabitation is not a requirement, you are...
It usually takes a few weeks, although it differs depending on how busy they are. Assuming the backlog is gone now, it could be just 2 or 3 weeks....
Re: US and UK citizens want to get married and live in the U That has nothing to do with each other. Once you are married, she can get a spouse...
I don't see why not. After all, she has a job, and she is only temporarily not exercising it.
The time before the marriage does not count, because you were not here under European law (the sentence about studying applies only to European...
You can stay, and you can continue to work, and you can leave and enter (as a non-visa national). However, I think you are mixing up the...
You are right: the Home Office made a mistake there. You must have been one of the first applicants under the new law, and maybe they did not...
That is not quite true: my understanding is that you can apply for judicial review once the 6 months deadline has passed, and the court can order...
You need to use form EEA2. Unfortunately this has to be done by mail, and even more unfortunately it will take a long time (currently about 9...
I think it is standard procedure to forward application to the UK if you have previously been in the UK. It certainly happens in complicated cases...
You are covered by the European right of free movement until the decree absolute is issued. You would need to be married for at least 3 years to...
Yes, you can continue to work. You right to work is granted by EU law, and it does not depend on any paper work. Now the employer has to check...
I does take about 9 months, and a complaint makes no difference. It used to be that they tried hard to stick to 6 months if you complaint, but...
As far as I understand, all applications have been moved to Liverpool, so yours should be there now. That is odd. We moved during the 9 months it...
An appeal is an excellent opportunity to consult a solicitor. That being said, I think it means that the ECO has not made a case. The tribunal...
A brother is considered an extended family member, and he may qualify if you can demonstrate dependence, financially or otherwise. But the general...
That would be difficult, I guess. You need your passport to cross any border, and you need the residence card to demonstrate the European right of...
It is impossible to say how long it may take. Your application is almost certainly referred to the UKBA in the UK. They cannot refuse you for your...
That is odd. Since the Surinder Singh case, even nationals can benefits from EU law under certain circumstances, and this seems to be a fitting...
You should receive a certificate of application, which is usually issued about a months or two after you applied. But the certificate has not...
Well, it takes 3 weeks at the best of times, and at the moment it can take quite a bit longer. If you actually need the CoA, I would recommend to...
Unfortunately the time line is quite long even under normal circumstances. You should get the CoA within 1 to 3 months, but you may be able to get...
Yes, she only has the right to work where you are living. That is because only you have the right of free movement, whereas her right of residence...
Well, it is strange, and there was a long discussion about it on another forum. The rule was introduced when applications in country were free, to...
That part is not the problem. But it is illegal to apply for a MVV if you intend to stay in the UK, so I would certainly not recommend that.
There is only one option that I can think of, and it is being married to a UK citizen for 3 years. So if your spouse gets British citizenship, you...
The problem with this visa is that it is only for visits. So while he can apply for a residence card under European law once married, he would...
It worked for us, but then my wife is a non-visa national. In theory it should also work for visa nationals, but it may take some convincing. In...
Yes, that is sufficient, if the income is enough for both of you. Your employment status is irrelevant as long as the EEA citizen is exercising...
In theory you can travel, but both getting into Austria and getting back into the UK can be difficult if you are a visa national (and getting on...
Re: Thanks thsths Give them a reasonable time before complaining - and the definition is up to you. I would expect a response 3 working days...
Assuming you are a family member (spouse) of an EEA national, you can work, although not all employers are aware of it (unmarried partners do not...
Re: Still waiting after 7.5 months! At least traveling may be getting easier. In Stanstead, officers were well aware that the UKBA is having...
Luckily we sent only a copy, so we did not have that problem. I think it is quite obvious that if you both come from other countries, you would...
Re: please help on this complex immigration matter!! thank y I know this is not very romantic, but marriage would still be a good option. I would...
I would recommend to apply for an EEA Family Permit. You can do that (at least in theory) in any country where you are legally, especially if it...
No, it does not affect you. For the Directive 2004/38 to apply, there must be a European dimension to your case - which means that more than one...
The site may not always be exactly up to date, but yes, there are serious problems and delays in the processing of applications under European...
The problem is not loosing your Residence Card (which should only happen after a lengthy absence), but qualifying for Permanent Residence and...
That is correct. But she needs to have completed the 12 months under WRS, or there will be restrictions for you. No, you have to be married and in...
Re: Out and Back every 3 months to easily renew Visa - Count That sounds a lot easier. A lot of countries have long term visitor visas, although...
Re: Out and Back every 3 months to easily renew Visa - Count I think that will be difficult in any western country. Apart from the visa problem,...
There is no need to worry. You are covered by the free right of movement, and that means you do have the right to work. You can submit the...
Check wikipedia, it has a number of articles on the subject. The situation in Switzerland depends very much on your local area, as naturalisation...
You do not get citizenship straight away, but you do have the right of free movement. Since your wife is from an ascension state, she has to go...
Re: COA I just had a rather good experience with an immigration officer. He seemed to be genuinely aware of European law, and especially of the...
Re: Response Yes, we obviously have a different view on this. Unfortunately, the texts from the Home Office do not really clarify the point. One...
Re: The details again Thanks for the clarification. When you made the EEA2 application, did you fill in your details in Section 4? It says...
I have to admit that I still do not understand that problem in this case. Maybe there is something in the details, so let's check them. What...
Hm, that sounds like the paperwork was never sorted, but you need to give more information about the circumstances. Who are the parents? What...
Re: Leaving UK while EEA2 pending - require visa to re-enter If you are a non-visa national, you should be fine, especially if you intend to...
Yes, she can, but I would recommend that she takes some proof of your residence along. This is because she is only allowed to enter the UK if she...
Me too, but this seems to be the procedure of some states, because according to the Schengen agreement the residence card should be in the...
It depends. It helps if you earn enough to pay the rent plus 500 GBP per person. But as long as you work, you are covered by the EU right of free...
I am not sure that the problem is with the caseworkes. Instead, I think there is just not enough staff to handle the applications, or the process...
Re: wating for my residency card/eea delay That is a shame. Unlike the Home Office, I found SOLVIT to be competent and reliable. They may be...
Since this year EEA1 and EEA2 are no longer processed together, so it probably does not help to combine them. Also there are still people waiting...
Since they moved processing to Liverpool, they really seem to have a lot of caseworkers who do not know what they are doing. When your situation...
The decision should be made reasonable soon now (within a week or two). However, it seems that the actual issuing of the residence card may take...
They may want to see sufficient funds. However, it seems like the processing of European applications is even more chaotic than usual since it all...
Your right of residence is still limited to three months, unless you are exercising one of the treaty rights (working, seeking work, studying, or...
Studying is a treaty right, so you should send evidence that you are registered as a full time student. That may be a good idea, but it is not...
Usually they send out the documents using "signed for". That means the letter is not traced along the way, but the delivery is recorded. So you...
You should contact SOLVIT. They seem to be the only people that can actually achieve something at the Home Office. You could also launch a...
Re: Application Date: October 31, 2007 Do you have that in writing? If so, a copy of the letter would be nice to have :-). It is certainly one of...
Re: Wokring or travelling while waiting for EEA2 residency c The answer is yes to all these questions. He has the right to work, and this does not...
I assume you are married? In that case you have the right to work due to European law, and a stamp in the passport does not change that. It may be...
Re: we are in the same predicament! I am not a lawyer, but I would be more optimistic about legal action. They may receive a lot of applications,...
It may seem tough, but that is exactly what she will have to do. You cannot switch from a tourist visa while in the UK. Write to your MP if you...
I would chose the nationality of your EEA partner. And if that does not work, have your EEA partner sign the complaint. Well, this is the...
I admire your positive attitude, but a little bit on the wrong side of the law is still wrong. The 6 months are an absolute maximum, so regular...
Hm, I am not sure that is a good idea. When did she leave the UK? Is there any chance that she could come with you at least for a few days? From a...
Yes, usually they would be processed together. The time frame used to be about 6 weeks, although it may be slightly longer now. I have heard that...
I would try, it might just work. If not, he should probably apply for a Registration Certificate in person, which should only take a day. And...
I believe that is the correct address for the application. I guess you can send your complaint there. Or you can use the following address, which...
Send them a reminder letter, give them 7 days to produce the document. As to what you do then, that is a difficult question. You could sue the...
Re: British Citizen marrying non-eu citizen (Marriage Proces I think generally these two options are correct. There is a third one: if you marry...
Re: does spouse visa in UK mean my husband can work in the e It is not that easy. First of all Switzerland is not in the EU, although the relevant...
That's a matter of taste, I guess. In Holland you will probably find the most people that speak English, if that is a significant concern. But my...
It seems that the Home Office does not have the bureaucracy under control, and it takes 4 weeks and longer now to get a registration certificate....
The idea is that you give the letter to your employer. The employer phones the Home Office, confirms that the case is under consideration, and...
If you want to visit London for a month and see a friend, then you should have no problem getting a visa. If you say you want to move in with your...
First of all: they do not always stick exactly to the law. You may receive you Residence Card a few weeks late, just as others have. There is very...
Good luck. I wrote a complaint letter to the complaint department, and it took them 6 months to answer it :-). So by all means write your...
Technically a payslip of your wife is sufficient. But I think you should include your payslip, too, especially if you wife's income may be...
Hm, then she should be free or restrictions now, although I am not sure how much absence is allowed without breaking continuity. I think that is...
Re: US citizen had baby in UK on tourist visa, need advice.. Did I mention that whatever you do, she should not overstay the visa? It could get...
In theory yes, your residence card should be sufficient. However, I would not try it, as the legal situation is disputed and the implementation is...
Re: US citizen had baby in UK on tourist visa, need advice.. This is going to be tricky. I think there is little doubt that she has to go back to...
Yes, if you have been in the UK before, the application is usually forwarded to the Home Office. This is taken straight from the Directive...
The Home Office has 6 months to process the application, and they often take nearly as long. So I am afraid you have to wait a bit longer. You...
I have heard that you should send both applications to the Liverpool address. This makes sense, because EEA1 is processed faster than EEA2, so...
Yes, you can switch without any problem. The Home Office may take the stance that the work permit becomes invalid when you apply, but she only...
You should not worry too much. There are a number of options, from employed over studying to being self sufficient. So if you have/had a...
That is possible, although according to my understanding the NHS also covers self-sufficient persons. Yes, you certainly do, and so does your...
Unfortunately, I was not aware of the Sickness Insurance requirement (did not see anything about it in the EEA1 and EEA2 forms). So, we are now in...
About the immediate issue: I still think you should ask for your passport back. You have the right to travel even without a residence card! It may...
How long has it been? The Home Office has 6 months to process the EEA2 application, so unless it is longer, you have very few options. But you...
She can apply for permanent residence 5 years after she came to the UK. And if she visited the UK before December 2003, she may be able to start...
Yes, getting married as an international couple in a European country can be difficult, and especially so in the UK. There are ways if you...
I am not an expert on the national legislation, but I think you have to apply for a spousal visa, which should be form FLR(m). Since this is the...
What is your nationality? I have to say that I am not really familiar with the WRS, but I know it is complicated. Now, if you had a pile of money...
Re: pls can someone help Hi You got yourself into quite a situation there, but I think the prospects are a lot better than you think. You...
Yes, there are a number of relevant cases, and they do go in your favour. The key document is the EU Directive 2004/38 itself, which is quite firm...
You have to show that together you have enough income to support yourself. It is not important who earns the money. Since you are both looking for...
Did you make clear that you want to apply under European law? You can do that because your spouse has been working in the UK. Even though you are...
If you get married, you can apply for an EEA Family Permit at the British consulate, and then you can live with your spouse in the UK. There are...
Yes, that is possible, if she has a visa for France. But in that case I would actually recommend to go to the UK and apply for entry without a...
Re: Italian Fiance and Non EU partner Hi! It is generally a good idea to start a new topic for a new situation, and I have just done that for...
Member of Parliament, the person representing your area in the lower house. He/she is your contact into "politics". Yes, that is the usual...
Yes, this is a common problem with the UK system. Essentially, you have three options: a) You can apply for another EEA Family Permit. But you...
Unfortunately, it seems you have picked a bad time. See this blog for the new rules being introduced. You could try to apply for a visa before...
Re: EEA2 application *without* sending in passport - it work We had the same experience. I figured that nobody would really check the application...
Once you are over 21, this is virtually impossible. You would have to demonstrate that you are dependent on him or he is on your. If you are...
That means you can apply for permanent residence (which is very much like ILR) after 5 years. And you probably have to, because your residence...
If you are a UK citizen, that is going to be difficult. From the end of February, over-stayers will automatically be blacklisted for a year....
Hi Kayla, welcome on the forum. Unfortunately, your case is not going to be easy. There are a number of issues, and any one of them may prevent...
If you want to apply, you have to do it with a valid passport. Processing times are close to 6 months, so your passport will expire, but you...
Yes, you can travel, as long as your main residence is in the UK. So any absence up to 3 months is no problem. If you stay longer, this may be...
That is an interesting story. As you probably know, overstaying is no reason for refusal under European law. Still they have to process your...
You should no problem: switching from the UK track to the European track is always possible. In fact, you will be able to use the European right...
Re: Overstayer from Non eu country married to eu national in Congratulations. But remember your priorities: usually that would be partner first,...
Not having your passport is an issue, because both the application for NI number and a new employer have to check your passport. On your...
Re: Thank you for the advice.
Re: Thank you for the advice. You are lucky. Yes, in theory you would need a visa. However, in reality it makes all the difference. Since you...
Obviously yes, because otherwise you would not even get out of the UK. Just tell them that you want to travel. I know that the phrasing on the...
Re: UK EEA2 Visa There is a big problem with this: there is no European dimension to your case. Since it only involves the UK and a non-EU...
No, you did not. The Home Office is required by law to process your application within 6 months, but you are not required to leave your passport...
Registering with the GP should not be a problem on the spousal visa, but the hospital(s) may still refuse to do the treatment for free. So better...
To marry a foreigner in the UK you usually need a Certificate of Approval (CoA), which basically states that the law of his home country has no...
Indeed. From what I have heard, this is handled inconsistent from GP to GP, hospital to hospital, and trust to trust. I had no problem signing up,...
Yes, you can do that. The advantage is that the application is free. The main disadvantage is that your wife will have to wait 6 years before...
Yes, you need to be self-sufficient. To be on the save side, you should have 500 pounds available per person per month. You can make a case with...
The main requirement is that you have lived together in the UK for one full year. Theoretically the time of separation also counts, but that would...
This is a dangerous strategy, because it could be considered fraudulent use of a tourist visa. While it is not a reason for refusing the Residence...
You can also be self sufficient or self employed. In essence, you have to be able to life from your own means, and not rely on benefits. Not...
Generally that should not be difficult, but there are a number of point to watch out for:The standard Schengen visitor visa is valid for only 3...
There are a few other options (custody for a child, victim of violence in the relationship). You probably want to talk to a lawyer about these....
If you have been married for 3 years, and you have been living in the UK for at least one year, you should qualify for retention of right of...
You are lucky: the EU right for free movement is granted automatically, so you are already covered. The application is just for confirmation in...
You have to understand that the EU law is different from typical visa law. You apply for a visa to get into the country, and then you have the...
Did you marry in the UK, or when did you come to the UK? You can apply for PR 5 years after you came to the UK for the first time as an EEA family...
The easiest thing is to tell you bank the new address, and maybe ask for a copy of the last statement. For some reason, bank statements are...
The European law says that there is no hard rule, but it depends on the circumstances. But if the income is so low that they can apply for...
That sounds like a typical web service designed in the UK. The system has been around for at least a year, I thought, so maybe these are not...
This question is the most important one, and everything else depends on this. I think you should apply for an EEA Family Permit. Check the sticky...
Re: Can Same Sex Partner of EU Nat Work in UK for 1-2 months The visa you need is the EEA Family Permit, and you should find a lot of information...
Re: eeafamilypermit(uk) refused in india can i apply from po You can apply from Poland, and it should be easier, too. The UK applies stricter...
In theory, yes. However, some employers may not understand that, because the guidelines written by the government are wrong. In that case, you can...
There are areas of non-compliance, but this is a clear cut case, and I see no reason why the EU law should not be applicable. The relevant...
The laws says 5 years since you started living together in the UK. However, you also need to produce evidence to support this. If you have that,...
In the UK you would need a Certificate of Approval before you can get married. I guess the situation is similar in Australia, but you may find a...
Yes, that should be the one. Remember that you have to be in the UK for 5 years before you can apply.
Well done. I think you can relax now and just go that way. There are several treaty rights. Sometimes the Surinder route is interpreted to only...
So many questions. Yes, you have to wait until May (or shortly before). With less then 5 years of residency, you can only apply for a residence...
Which is perfectly normal, but it does create a problem for you: how do you prove that your spouse was living (and working) in the UK up to the...
Re: anyone knows what document needed to apply under EEA LAW I don't remember that anyone here actually did this, but it was certainly mentioned...
I would not worry about this. The times given are only approximations, and there are many cases reported here where it took just over 6 months to...
It is indeed well hidden, but you will find it under 10.2 on UKvisas. The problem is that after more than 6 months residence within one year...
First of all I am slightly surprised that they let you in. I would assume that your case is in the computer, and that they would not issue a...
You have to be married first, and then you fill out the EEA2 form. Your spouse can also apply for a card using form EEA1, which is recommended,...
I am not an expert on the UK immigration law, but as far as I understand foreigners (from outside the EU) cannot just get married. Your partner...
I think the best web site is http://eumovement.wordpress.com/ . There is also information available on Wikipedia and on the web site of the...
If you mean health insurance, I don't think that is a problem. You don't need an insurance number to be covered by the NHS, all you need is the...
Actually in Spain it should be easier, because you can use the European legislation (Directive 2004/38). And it is free, whereas the spouse visa...
Easy: phone the Home Office and ask for your passport to be sent back. Note the special number to call: http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/applyi...
Re: Can you apply for the UK spouse visa while already in th Since you mention the 2 year spouse visa, I assume that you are British. In that...
Hi I think I can help you with the form, also I think your chances are slim. See below for the reasons. This is only to determine whether it...
The rule is that you can spend only 6 months out of any 12 on a visitor visa. Usually that means you wait for 6 months before applying for another...
Just wait. The confirmation is supposed to be "immediate", but usually it takes two weeks, sometimes more. I got it after 3 weeks and a day, so I...
Yes, I found a hint in this direction in a German forum (http://www.info4alien.de/cgi-bin/forum/ ... 1192557874, and do they refer to your case?)....
Re: hmmm... I agree. She might not have been aware of the fact that your spouse is Dutch, or she may not have realised the legal consequences....
Re: thanks for ur answer Thsths!! Hi Princess I have not been following the developments in Germany, but I had a look at the changes. I...
Well, the UK embassy may tell you that you have to, but I think they are wrong. The reason is that the UK law makes a distinction between...
You can ignore that. They have not even considered the central argument, which is that you have been "exercising treaty rights" in Spain. (This is...
Yes, I can see the problem. And you also want the residence card to get back into the UK, although you can try that even without, as long as you...
This is a tricky case. If you apply for EEA1 and EEA2 together, it can be processed quickly (I think we had reports of 4 weeks here). You can try...
Re: UK Wife/US Spouse and Children need advice to say in the First things first: claim your money back. You payed in the expectation of...
Correct. 2 is certainly the better option, unless you have to travel in the next 6 months. Also if you apply for EEA1 and EEA2 together, the...
I'm an American who will likely get married to a Norwegian girl within the next year. I've been searching for information on living and working...
Hiring a lawyer is a good idea if you are not sure what you have to do, but they rarely speed up the process. After all they are just one more...
Re: Help! pregnant british girl with mexican boyfriend! Urge I think you can do this either way. Since you are in a durable relationship, you do...
The obvious answer is to get married. I would never recommend that for immigration purposes only, but many international couples marry earlier...
Are you sure it is a fiance visa, and not an EEA family permit? The EEA family permit is valid for several entries, so it would be no problem....
Usually you can get it back invalidated, e.g. with a corner of the picture cut off. You should try to clarify that before you hand over the old...
Yes, dealing with the Home Office can be very confusing. Generally applying for a visa prevents you from becoming an "illegal resident", but the...
Hi everybody After 6 months, the Home Office has actually responded to the complaint I sent about the handling of European applications (EEA...
I think this approach is not without risks. If your wife is visibly pregnant, the immigration officer may ask questions about that, and he may...
I think this is a bit more complicated. The EEA FP is issued for you to join or accompany your spouse in/to the UK. In the application process,...
Yep, the old problem again. I know this is generally not considered advisable, but you have the right to travel even without the residence card....
I think you are referring to the tourist visa, which you can get on the spot. No, that would not be a good idea, because the tourist visa cannot...
Re: Questions - moving to Frankfurt, Germany from Michigan U You must be jocking. Living in Germany, working in Germany, how would you not pay...
Congratulations. We had the same experience: after stressing about the visa issue for months, we just decided to "go for" the tourist visa. Which...
Registration with the NHS is very easy. You just go to a GP (who is taking on new patients) and fill in a form. You are covered from this point...
I have to say that the unmarried partner rules are a bit difficult to read. The UK visas information page INF4...
Yes, the Dutch are pretty easy about this partnership contract. However, I am not sure that European law applies in the case of the original...
Yes, it does, but everything is a lot easier if you are married. As an unmarried couple you have to prove that you have lived together for 4...
Hi I do not think that you should have any significant problems. As a US citizen you can come to the UK on a tourist visa, which gets you past...
It has to be valid for 5 years, unless they have evidence that you/your spouse intend not to stay that long. The foreseeable end of studies is no...
If nobody else is responding, here is my personal interpretation of how the Home Office works: when they receive an EEA1/2 application, they put...
Actually, we even sent normal copies of our passports. This was sufficient to "start the clock". I very much doubt that anybody had a look at the...
Re: right of free movement Well, I don't think that is a big secret. And I am sure the EU commission would go after them, if they didn't have...
Re: Want to apply for durable relationship but passport expi It would all be easy if the Home Office had some reasonable procedure for issuing...
Re: Update Well, a lot of people get married for this reason. Many may have married anyway at a later point, and they just had this extra...
As far as I know your understanding is correct. The EU is trying to unify the procedures, but it also cares for cultural differences. Italy does...
Re: EEA Family permit & EEA2 Residence card: French/S Ko Good plan. Applying for EEA1 and EEA2 together does indeed save quite a lot of time,...
That could be a problem with the license itself, not the marriage. Unfortunately the US do not recognise that there are other countries of...
Re: Are you a US citizen who moved to the UK? How did you do What you want to do is not easy. You can try to find an employer who would...
Sorry, I should have been more accurate there. You do not need to be resident in the UK, but of course they want to know where you are traveling....
Well, this is what the Home Office recommends. I did not try it, and I am not saying that it is without problems. Concerning the legal residence,...
I have been thinking about this for a while, since it seems to be so very contradictory to the EU Directive 2004/38. The directive seems to state...
This is a very good question, but unfortunately there is no easy answer. Basically the Home Office "forgot" about this case when they were...
Well, I can't vouch for every case worker, but in my view you should rather blame the system than the individual. And there are many things wrong...
Yes, the EU law can be a bit strange if you want to get together. The problem is that it was written with mobility in mind, so the main case they...
Hi Reeny Yes, I sometimes have the same feeling. Sometimes it takes a lot of reading and conjecturing to come up with a good solution. I...
Re: UK FIANCEE VISA FOR MARRIAGE BETWEEN FRENCH AND SOUTH KO This could be a lengthy thing to do, because you have to rely on the UK immigration...
No, either one is fine, just keep the two applications together. I have no idea. They could ask for a birth certificate. If you have to...
Usually you can also apply for a new passport from your consulate within the UK. Did you ask them? It might take a bit longer and be more...
Thanks for this response. We got a lot of conflicting advice, but in the end we decided to "just go for it". And you were right. The...
Unfortunately no. "Residence Card" is just a legal term, but it is still a sticker put in the passport. At least it remains valid after the...
Short answer: no, he does not have the same rights as a European citizen. His right to stay is a consequence of your right of free movement....
Correct. Since you will be married and the Home Office already has a record for you, I don't think that is necessary. A proof of address for...
You should use the form EEA2 again, unless you have been living together in the UK for 5 years now, in which case you can apply for permanent...
Now there you find a cryptic statement! But remember that the residence card is not a visa, it just happens to be glued into your passport. So...
You asked a lot of good questions. You may want to read the EU Directive 2004/38/EC, it presents yours options in clear English on a few pages....
First of all the application is only a formality, and it does not actually influence the further time line except the processing time of the...
That is correct. You get a "Certificate of Application" "immediately" after sending the EEA2 application. And "immediately" seems to translate to...
Yes, you can do that. Even a normal copy worked for me, because they will need the passport anyway to put the sticker in. But that is only...
You should apply for the residence card as soon as possible. Processing for the EEA partner should be reasonably quick, but the non EEA partner...
Check the EEA2 application form, it has a pretty good overview of what you need. I found that in a standard case the following documents are...
Technically I don't think that you will have any problems. 4 people (I understand) in a 3 three bedroom house is fairly normal. For the...
I think there must be more to this story than is obvious. The Entry Clearance Officer should have stated a reason for the rejection, and I think...
Hi, I have to say that sounds pretty horrible, and you have my sympathy. But I think there is hope. Since your overstay was under the UK...
