well, if 5 years pass and you are still separated but married, you can apply for citizenship on the grounds that you have lived in the UK for 5...

sorry to hear about the situation.. not an expert, but from my understanding you have to inform HO only if you divorce as separation does not...

miri5, don't worry about getting the passport back, this does not delay application at all. They don't need your passport to process the...

.. Hm, things have, indeed, changed in the past few years. No secret that Britain is tired from immigration and they try various barriers without...

Few quick answers, mate

.. That's great, thanks for clarification, missy. Do you know if marriage certificate has to be translated into English or language of country of...

Hm Is this really true? I've been informed by my Embassy that family member of EEA national does not need visa to Schengen country ONLY if the...

And some more.. By the way, I've just quickly tried to find where that visa issuing office is located in Italy and it's really in Rome. Check...

EEA2 is not FP. Family permit can be obtained in Italy, this will be issued for 6 months. EEA2 can be obtained only within the UK and will be...

Being non-visa national you can easily travel to the UK and apply for EEA2 there. It takes ages to get it but you should receive Certificate of...

Thomas, there are some people still waiting for a caseworker to be assigned who applied earlier than us, therefore, I'm assuming that complaints...

Got the docs back! Well, that means complaint to North West Customer Service Unit is the most effective. My summary: 20/Aug/2008 Applied for...

We've got a letter asking to send back my wife's passport and my recent wage slips, which means a caseworker is finally assigned. Application...

Eh That's an awful scenario and very sorry to hear that. That is why I ALWAYS go with my wife when dealing with paperwork. It is the case because...

.. That's strange. Are you referring to EEA Family Permit? I don't understand their reasoning as in this case your wife will exercise Treaty...

Re You should be able to get EEA family permit in Malaysia but their reply is not a good sign. Formally, you should be able to get EEA FP in any...

Yes, you can. Although that might take some time as they process visa applications in regional centres, meaning your application will be sent...

thsths, I am very sceptical about 9 months you are referring to. It seems we have some forum members here who are waiting for 12 months already.

Re: Newspaper The biggest problem is to get sympathy of those readers. We all know what British think about immigrants especially in these times...

After reading this thread my understanding that noone will help on this issue in the UK. If some people use their local MPs as representatives,...

Re: EEA2 Delays That is really annoying. They have been in status of 'processing February 2008 applications' for 3-4 months now. We've applied in...

Looks very interesting, indeed. Have you travelled with EEA family permit or FMRS or EEA2? Perhaps there's a link to more official announcement,...

Hm, they haven't ask much tbh, we've filled-in fee assessment form where have had to list all countries where lived within 5 years. In our case we...

You should be able to get home student fees. We did. In Salford uni this January.

Check some other topics in this forum. Basically, there's no chance they will process your application in 6 months but when 6 months pass you have...

sercan, i'm living in the UK for 1,5 years now, as i've mentioned we've had experience in getting EEA family permit twice, FMRS stamp and EEA2...

True, I just don't want everyone to think that you need to include things like pictures and honeymoon hotel bills as mandatory documents. With...

Well, we've got EEA family permit twice now, one in Lithuania, June, 2007, one in France, December, 2008. For the first one we submitted...

Luckily we've sorted her EEA family permit in Paris, although not without tension. Staff at Worldbridge services told us that EEA family permits...

I'd say you need to prove your relationship by marriage certificate or other documents. No needs for photos or honey moon hotel bills, that would...

That's a tricky one. Are you national of A8 countries? i.e. did you have to include WRS registration certificate(s)? If yes, I think payslips are...

Hi, here's what we've got from Home Office by email: <<<Dear Sir, Thank you for your enquiry. Please be advised that your wife will...

This is what I've got from Home Office by email: Dear Sir, Thank you for your enquiry. Please be advised that your wife will not be...

Yep, you don't need registration certificate to be included with EEA2 application. I haven't included mine and it's absolutely fine.

We have a very similar problem. In fact my wife's visa has already expired (she's non-EEA national) and we need to go to Maldives in January....

1. For FMRS I've sent my Lithuanian marriage certificate and that was enough. Now it was explicitly required to attach English translation for...

Does anyone have the experience of taking back the passport when application is pending? How long does it take? Do you need to go in person or...
