Apply for FMRS.No need for a lawyer.I think that should do the trick.

On what grounds did you get visitors visa.?

 

As I said just apply for FMRS.You dont need solicitor,would be utter waste of money.I am almost positive you can pursue this route.
As far as I know there is no such a thing like Family Permit within the UK,so obvious choice is FMRS.Wait for couple of more days and we may have few more anwers,but I dont think that answer will differ from mine

 

Tripple H,Your advise is the only option open to him.The link provided is the correct form for his residency application.Going through the Solicitor route is goose chase,except there are more information that is not made known to this forum.
''Do you ever imagine why a court would award a damage worth 1pence as a claim/compensation''?

 

In your circumstances its money down the drain.Waste!
It will take you 10 minutes to fill the form.

 

meli myself and my polish wife have been looking into this for some time and i even considered the in uk option. But if you do it from within the country then it takes between 3 and 6 months and even the agencies say this too although they will extend your stay as they have your passport so you are unable to leave anyway. In the end the infomation that was given in the uk was so confussing we have not taken that option and are now trying plan A again. We have gone back to poland to submit ours as we have heard it can be done inside a day. You submit your application at any uk embassy but its at their dicretion weather they process it, the only one that as to do this is the embassy in your country or the country that deals with your request on behalf of the uk.

 

HI Meli what i was meaning is to try thr british embassy for serbia or the embassy that deals with the serbian requests maybe croatia or bosnia. i am only trying here as its easier and cheaper than flying all the way to new zealand and back but if i get denied here then thats what i can do. one though the embassy in new zealand is required by law to accept my request like the one in your country and it shoul be quick too. but fingers crossed i will know come monday morning when i go for my interview. good luck in your battle because i know how frustrating they can be.

 

He (meli)should apply within the UK with form FMRS.
Any other option is moot.

 

how to get family permit from in uk

hi meli
i have just been to uk embassy poland and they gave me the visa just have to collect the visa and passport at 2pm today. i was only in the embassy about 1 hour and they were really nice and helpful so all going well i'm off back to the uk come wed. good luck with whatever way you decide to take.

 

I got eea family permit couple days ago and its easy if you know what to do and what documents to submit. this is for everyone who wants to know what to do about an application for eea f p . first of all most imporatnt things is to prove your relationship is real and it is not for visa or you are not into a fake marriage. you can do this by taking lots of photographs in different dressings and indifferent places. you should also go for a honeymoon with your wife and pictures in there and keep the recipt that is given by the hotel. second thing is that your sponsors employment in uk. she should be working full time for a while like at least 6 months and keep all payslips and get a confirmation from the employer in uk. the sponsor should at least get 230 a week so she can prove that she is able to look after you. third thing is your rental contract in uk that it should valid for current time and at least 6 months in advanced. your sponsors bank account details where should have at least 1000 ready in her account and phone bills that shows you were calling each other, the letters you wrote each other and cardpostals that is given on special occasions. if anbod is interested about this information then i can give more detaild and help people who wants to apply for this type of visa.

 

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 be just ridiculous. Well, if they have any doubts about relationship they will come back to you and still I would never go into personal details with them.

 

no my friend it is not like as you say. if you want to get your visa then you have to but you have to share your personal details with them. you telling me about the documents to prove your relationship, i dont think there is a stronger document than your photos and your honeymoon pic and stuff. it is not easy to get a visa just depending on marriage certiface and other relative documents. it is not their matter that you feel unconfident to share your personal details with them.
