EEA FAMILY PERMIT FOR NON EEA BEING A PARENT?

[adnan01]

Well my employer is not giving me my passport back so I have to quit in order to get my passport back. They will give me my passport back once they cancel my work visa. As far as I know after the cancellation I can still stay one more month in Dubai, but to apply visa from Dubai I need to have valid visa of UAE which is one of the requirement. So currently Im planning to go back to Pakistan and apply from there. From Dubai it takes 15 days max for decision but from Pakistan it can take upto 2 months.

But I have no other choice, I will ask my employer one last time, if not then I will quit.

I hope they issue me my passport because that will be better to apply from Dubai and Incase my job will be secure..lets see!!

Thank you very much!!

As far as I know you need to be legally in the country. And it sounds like you will be legally there during that final month. I would definitely try applying as soon as you get back your passport. Worst case they force you to apply in Pakistan. Best case they give you the EEA FP right away and you can then have a relaxed visit with your family in Pakistan before going off to kiss you wife and baby in the UK.

yeah thats true!...One more thing is!!!my wife is living with her mother at the moment..and ofcourse we are at that situation when she is trying to get council flat. If she get it or if I show that she is living with her mother who herself is on benefits and council flat then would that make things harder?

This law is strange that in order to get FP my sponsor should have enough financial stability. Well Im man of a family and I want to be there for this sole purpose that I support my family as I was doing before so HO consider these things or just stick to what law says?

As you says my case is strong, yes it is I believe but When I see documents requirements then I have two concerns, 1. my wife is student and I got refused for EEA residence card because she cant sponsor me...SO DOES IT MEAN FOR FP SHE CAN SPONSOR EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBER? 2. She is not renting an accomadation so how can I show she have her own place, she is trying for council flat as she wants her own place because my mother-in-law giving my wife so much pressure to leave her home, then ofcourse she wont get flat straight away, she will be in some temporary accomadation. How can I sort this out?

This is why I eventually started thinking about applying through route of post study work visa!..

Please advise me on 2 points I have mentioned with possible solution which can support my applicaiton. Then certainly getting CSI in not an issue and I can apply FP with confidence..

Thanks

I will answer the rest later. But let me talk about "man of the family"...

European free movement law works is written and structured to ensure that the EU citizen has a clear path to move to another EU country. Everything is in terms of them working/studying/being-self-sufficient/travelling.

Once the EU citizen qualifies, then and only then does the attention turn to the non-EU family members. They are then allowed to accompany their EU family members, and have roughly equivalent rights, but only so long as the EU citizen remains qualified.

It does not matter if the non-EU family member is smart or rich or talented or beautiful or friendly or wonderful or mean or ugly or lazy or hardworking or male or female or short or tall.

All that matters is what the EU citizen is doing.
