My wife was refused admission 4 times using the "Center of Life" requirements..... I got her in eventually through Holland - Harwich route, Border Force there put her on Immigration Bail, which we fought hard and kept getting extended. I had tried in vain to get her refusals overturned, bu...
As in the topic title, does anyone have a contact email for any REAL person at UKVI ? I don't want that person's full address, just the format of the name and everything after the @. I'm trying to contact someone there, I know the name of the person, but not the email, so I'm hoping I can use the fo...
Yes, you read it correctly....... 2 days ago, the Home Office quietly updated it's guidance on UK Citizens using the Surinder Singh route to bring non UK spouses and partners home to the UK with them after working in the EU. The hated "Centre of Life" requirements are gone ! There's a litt...
I am a UK national, and I have been living and working in Germany for 7 months, my Kenyan wife has been living with me there for the last 3 months. In early December, I was told that my contract would not be continued beyond 31st December, so we started a Surinder Singh application for her to accomp...
Good point on the translation of documents. That is also another advantage of using Denmark....... the marriage certificate is issued in 5 languages, including English. IIRC, ours are in Danish, English, German, French, and Italian. I looked into Gibraltar myself, and found Denmark would be much eas...
You also have to move your centre of life to the EU state for usually 6 months or more and prove you are exercising treaty rights. According to Directive 2004/38 that is not true. There is no requirement to move your "centre of life", and this has recently been overturned under appeal. &q...
You don't need to get married in an English speaking country..... by far the easiest and fastest place to get married in Europe, is Denmark. Just google for "getting married in Denmark", and you will find lots of information, and links. I married my fiance in less than a week after applyin...
From what I have been told, and from what information I can find...... there are no border checks between Northern Ireland and Eire..... there are also no checks on the ferries between the UK and Northern Ireland...... A lot of people have used the Ireland route to bring family members into the UK u...
That was my intention originally, but the typical German bureaucracy had us running in circles and getting nowhere, we still don't have her residency card, and now we are rapidly running short of time
I am a UK citizen, currently working in Germany. I have been in a relationship with my non EU wife since December 2018, I have been living and working here for nearly 7 months, and she has been living here with me since 16th October, however we do not have a normal residential address as we are in a...
No, she is not an illegal immigrant, from the day we were married, she is entitled to remain in Germany with me under the EU Free Movement Directives, we are currently going through her application for a residence card.
Hi people, I'm a UK citizen working in Germany, and I've been married to my Kenyan wife for a week, she's living here with me but she doesn't have a residence card yet, and her Schengen visa has now expired by 6 days. I want to take her to the UK for the Christmas and New Year holidays, to meet my f...
I am a UK citizen, and I got married to my Kenyan G/F last week in Denmark, two days before her Schengen visa expired. We have now travelled back to Munich in Germany, where she has lived with me for the past month, and where I have been working full time for a little over six months. Is she entitle...
