HI ACCORDING TO HOME OFFICE THEY don’t have any reports of any difficuties on traveling on isd immigration status document . and according to HO there is no legal requirement to transfer to passport .as according to directive 2004/38/ec RC CAN BE ISSUED AS SEPARATE DOCUMENT .

And to transfer to passport, have to make new application .SO IN OTHER WORDS what you got you got its not transferable .
Well that’s right but most member states are issuing RC as card like A credit card size . like Ireland and all SCHENGEN STATES TO best of my knowledge can be corrected if I am wrong.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE TRAVELLING ON ISD .

And inside the ukas well when it comes to use for job purpose or any thing else etc.

Dear All
Please can someone tell me if the American or Canadian embassy will accept the UKBA ISD, immigration status document. I am thinking of visiting either of the countries but I am not sure if they accept this document(ISD) without being in your passport. I know the french embassy does not honour this document.
Looking forward to hearing from a well informed person
Thanks

I have no idea who 'accepts' it and who doesn't but can you let me know where you found out that the French Embassy doesn't accept it? I think that the person should make a complaint to Solvit unless some very good reasons were given for the rejection.

Dear chaolive.
i remember seeing it on the TLS contact webpage, but i guess it has been taken off, i cant seem to find it again.. another query is this," is there a difference between a family member of a Union national and a family member of an EEA citizen?? the reason am asking this question is that, i wanted to visit ireland visa free as a family member of an EU national taking advantage of Article 10 of the Directive of 2004. i contacted the irish embassy to get information regarding travel to the country....this is the response i got from the embassy which is so confusing. My visa says "Residence card of a family member of an EEA National",
please help me out i need a clear direction.

Dear Sir,

EU Regulations specify that certain family members should be issued with a document called "Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen"
Please see Article 10 of the Directive 38/2004 http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/Lex ... 123:EN:PDF
. . . . .
Irish Immigration Regulations classify "non-nationals who are family members of a Union citizen and holders of a document called “Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen”, as referred to in Article 10 of the Directive of 2004" as not requiring a visa to enter Ireland.
Please see link to SI 345 of 2011 http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Ir ... nformation
. . . . .
Your residence card is called "Residence card of a family member of an EEA National", (not the same as a Union citizen and that is a matter for the UK Authorities); however an Immigration Officer may accept that the residence card issued to you has been issued pursuant to Article 10 of the EU Directive of 2004.

You are also free to apply for a visa which will be processed free of charge once the original marriage certificate and spouse’s original EU passport are submitted in support of the application.
