hi welcome to the UK.
I had excatly the same situation with me. My wife is from Hungary and I am from India so I came here on a marrige visa and after marrige my wife applied for WRS ( which will cost you now around £90 at that time it was £70). You will have it in 2-3 months ( my wife had in 2 months). when you will have it than you can send this WRS certificate along with your husband's passport etc documents to HM and he will have FMRS valid for one year. I had FMRS in 3 months so hopefully your husband will have it soon. I heard that if you are married and living outside for 2 yrs you can apply for residency visa directly. But I am not sure.

Beware PHOTOCOPY EVERYTHING WHICH YOU WILL SEND TO HOME OFFICE.

HAVE A NOTE OF SPECIAL REFERENCE NUMBER OF THE ENVELEOPE WHICH YOU WILL USE TO SEND AND ALSO YOU CAN SEND THEM A SELF ADDRESSED ENEVELOPE.

GIVE ALL YOUR PAYSLIPS AND HIS ALSO

ANY ACCOMODATION CONTRACT

PHONE BILLS TRAVELLING TICKETS ETC

TC AND BEST WISHES

 

hi again

Hi, I too wish that you will have your WRS papers back as soon as possible.
So after having a job my wife obtained contract papers of job and than she send her papers to HO. They send 2 sets to the workplace and her manager gave one HO paper to her which was a WRS paper with my wife’s pic on it. After that we send my passport, our pay slips, her WRS paper, bills etc and in 3 months I had my FMRS. It finished in Feb. After 12 months of job we are now applying for Registration Certificate for my wife and Residency Card for me. They are called EEA forms. We send these forms in Feb and are still waiting for these. HO is very slow in processing these application. Its more than 6 months now.

Hi Again

Hi, no problem you can ask me questions as much as you like.
Well officially you cannt travel outside the UK till your application is in progress BUT what you can do is that you can request your passports back etc from HO and while coming back to the UK your husband ( Non EEA/EU) can apply for an entery clearence visa from UK embassy from Czech Embassy. Its free of charge and valid for either 6 months or 1 yr. When you will be back than submit your passports etc back to HO.

Your application will not be affected durining this process.

Well you are lucky that you were born in such a beautiful country Czech Republic. We had been there last year and we fell in love with Prague so much that we were planning again this year but due to my passport now we have to wait till next year.

TC and just onw question what type of visa does your husband is having now and whats its validity? Did you manage to find a job and your hubby too?

TC

 

my bad I just read your colum so your husband is having visa for 6 months. thats ok. tc

 

Hi sorry I didnt understand your question.

Well if he has a visa for one year than I will suggest you to wait till you have your WRS and than wait for 12 months and than you can go Personally to Croydon for your Residency Card. They will issue on the same day. BUT BEWARE your husband must not be overstayed or cross his visa limit even for one day other wise HO will create problems.

confusion

Hi are you meaning CURRENTLY he is having an expiered visa means is he Illegal here now? I am still confused with your question can you frame it in a easy way please.

Hello

Hi now I understand your question. Well the residency stamp FMRS is actually a one year Visa to stay here work here etc as a family member of an EU citizen. It looks similar to this http://www.swedenabroad.com/%2FSelectIm ... nceEEA.jpg
Instead of 5 yrs its for 1 yr and yes ofcourse your husband can travel anywhere free. Amsterdam Hungary are countries in my mind which are offering a travel with no visa required if you have FMRS or any uk residency visa.

Good thing is that if your husband wishes to go to czech republic than he can have a visa on the border.

We ( my wife and me) are planning to go to Prague next summer.

Happy days…

 

Dear Jana,
my pleasure if you are happy.
Unfortunately Home Ofice is taking a lot time in issuing the visas. I submitted my application in Feb 08 still no answer. I wish your Husband will have his FMRS soon.
Tc and wishes

 

Re: Hello

Well any one going to apply any type of visa for the UK must read the forms published in Expact Forums. I am a member of this web site since 2 years now and during this time I have gained a valuable knowledge from each and every member.

Before sendinig my EEA applications forms I checked everything mentioned according to this website and it was very useful.

I prepared a big files with separate sections like
Our Passports
Our Birth Certificates + Translations
Our Marrige Certificate
Proof of our address
Any Travel Tickets
Bills
Payslips
EVEN I SEND MY TESCO SLIPS HE HE HE
I was updating my pasyslips and mine wife also every month.

It was a waiting game but I got my Christmas Gift.

Thanks Everyone for precious guidence...


Love and Peace
