Hi,

I have picked up a few useful information from this forum. thanks . I was wondering if i could get some further clarification or some help with regard to my unusual situation.

Iam a sri Lankan national. i came to the UK as a student in 2003. in 2005 i switched to a work visa which expires in july 2010. After i got my work visa i changed my employer as the company was sold to another one. so i quit this company and took up employment with another company in a different field ( but still on a original work permit)

I was advised that i have breached immigration laws as i changed my employer. i only changed it as the company was sold.

I got married to my slovakian partner in april 2008 in Cyprus. we love each other and we have known each other for over 2 years. she has even visited my family in srilanka and her parents were here in the UK aswell.

Now that iam told i have breached the immigration law i want to switch to be my wifes depandant.

i have called home office and they advised me i can change it in the UK and i will have to fill a EEA2 form to change. is this correct?

my wife has recently applied for the eea1 and we should hear something in the next few days.

would anyone suggest me what i can do as iam in a very bad situation. Iam 100% confident that my employer has not notified the home office when i quit as they were sorting their own issues about the sale of the company. i have been on holidays with my wife and have been tru immigration several times and never had a problem

My question is would it be adviseable to go to slovakia and apply for a visa to come back to UK or would it be better if i could apply for the visa in Sri lanka or do i just apply for EEA2 within the UK?

if i apply for a visa from slovakia / srilanka what visa do i need to apply for? how lond would that take?

my wife is employed and earns over 1.2k per month. I have a good job. we have a joint bank acct with about £2000 - £3000 in savings. My wifes wages are paid into this acct. I have savings of about £6000. we rent a flat and have a tenancy agreement with joint names.

I would appreciate if some one could help me out.

look forward for your input.

Thanks

 

Thanks Tom,

really appreciate your quick response. iam really grateful.

because i breached the immigration law, is there a possibility i may get into trouble in any way?
would they check my current status? what i am worried is if they check my NI details instead of company "A" it would be company "B" so would that get me into any sort of trouble.

i never claimed any benefits or never intend to either.

look forward for your reply
thanks
