Hi Triple H,

I have been reading your posts and honestly appreciate the kind of time and effort you put in to help everyone out there. Hope you can advise me on my situation too...

I am the non-EU spouse of an EU citizen (Lithuania). I was issued my EEA family permit last year in October which was valid until April this year. Due to unavoidable circumstances, my wife had to travel to her home country for her exams in April which lasted for 2 and a half months. Because of this, I wasnt able to apply for a residence document. How do I overcome this situation as I am now an 'overstayer'? Will I be deported or is there any way to apply for residence? My wife is pregnant and has to travel back to her country by December. I am the only one who is employed as she is not working as she was suffering from depression. I couldnt apply for residence earlier since i got a job only this February and by the time my bank accounts and all other formalities completed, my wife had to travel for the exams.

We do not intend to live in the UK as we are moving to Dubai next year.

Kindly advise as I am quite stressed about our situation. Also, do I have to hire a solicitor for this purpose?

I shall appreciate your prompt response.

Regards;
Techno

 

Hi Triple H,

Many thanks for your reply! What about the overstaying factor? What happens to that? What actions does the Home office take in these matters?
Do I face deportation or what does the EU law suggest?

Also, the consulate would question me whilst reapplying for a family permit since I have overstayed (although never intentionally!); dont you think so and what would be the chances of getting it again since only I am employed and my wife isnt?

It all seems to be a fuzzy picture for me right now being in this situation. I am sorry for all these questions but a person in my situation wont be in a state to think clearly.

Thanks again as I look forward to your reply.

Thanks again Triple H,

Sorry to bother with my questions again but do you recommend any solicitor?
Also, does this affect my employment as of now??

Thanks.

 

Thanks for your reply...I guess I have to check with a solicitor right away regarding this..

Thanks for all your help...
