Hi D4109125, Thanks for your heads up - we are fully aware of that pitfall! The official line we take is that we cannot advice regarding any immigration matters. We usually point them to this website or other organisations or forums specialising in immigration. But I think it is always good to have ...
Hi guys, Many thanks for your responses. Jambo we are a small charity providing free family and social care advice :) of course we do not charge people. But many a times people come over with immigration inquiries which are beyond our remit! Also as you may know it is so difficult to find org ...

It is concerning section 4.17 and 4.18 of the form and the point of contention is as follows: a) Is section 4.17 to be filled up by the non-EEA ...
Hi, Many thanks for your reply and advice! I forgot to mention in the last post that, he has already procured another copy of the said document from her.

Many thanks for the posts. I totally agree about not lying or putting in any wrong information on the application form (had advised them about this already). I have requested them to fill up the travel section as best as they can and not to worry about acquiring travel records! But just out of ...
Hi all, Hope your week is going well. I am trying to help out a couple who had come to our advice place regarding an issue with a PR application. They are anxious whether they have adhered to the 5 year 'continuous residence' rule. They had had to travel to and fro from UK quite extensively for the ...
Hi, Just wanted to clarify a point: If the EEA national was exercising treaty rights as a student then comprehensive insurance cover is needed only for the EEA national and NOT the non-EEA spouse. If the EEA national was exercising treaty rights by being self-sufficient then comprehensive insurance ...
Hiya, Kab sorry for not replying earlier but it's been a few months since I last checked this forum. Hope you got your insurance sorted. My wife got the insurance from 'Medicare' down in London. Oh and ametisto i hope your wife got her RC without any further trouble and not needing to get an ...

hi, As far as I my knowledge goes and I was just checking the EU directives as instituted by the UK govt. student is a separate category from economic self sufficiency! In the case of the former only the EEA national who is exercising treaty rights by being a student in UK needs to have ...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I applied in jan'04 from UK. I got HSMP visa stamped for 4 years in May'04 till May'08. I was quite surprised at that time and had called up the HO regarding this and they had informed me that the visa was valid and I do not need to worry about it. In feb'08 since I ...
Hiya All, With May 20 nearing I had a query regarding the economic activity re:ILR application after 4 years on HSMP. I apologize beforehand for it is a repeat of a similar query I had put forward in this forum last year. But at that time this particular issue was mentioned as a part of a long list ...
Hiya all, Shockboy2000 is there any news on your ILR - hope there was no trouble. But I think tech's take on the matter is correct. Probably the letter you got from HO was their standard reply in such cases and they didn't even bother to change it even though you mentioned that you were on HSMP and ...
Hi guys, Thanks for your inputs, especially thsths for answering my queries, its been very helpful. I agree with your inputs mostly - i think UKBA may ask for the residence card to be revoked if i go the HSMP route. But that would not deprive me of my EEA rights as I would still be eligible for PR ...
