What is your purpose of travel? If you are travelling or joining with British husband, then I believe that you may apply for an EEA family permit.

I arrived in the uk with no visa
I hold article 10 residence card as family member of british citizen and a mother of british child aged 1 year. We arrived in uk on 24 may 2015 through surrinder singh route. A few months later my husband started getting sick again, he has been battling paranoid schizophrenia since 2009, i met him in 2012 in romania, i am a romania refugee though i did not know about his illness and i got to know when i was five months pregnant with my daughter and i have been in life supporting him and caring for him, it has been a battle live with him since his on and off in hosptials because he doesnt take his medication. He moved to Norway with me where i got the article 10 residence card and during out stay in norway he was two times in hosptial.
He doesnt i work and doesnt trust anyone claiming we all evil trying to hurt him. I am supposed to send my eea2 application on 28th 09 2015 but im scared of the outcome since he hasnt worked and we have been from one homeless shelter to the other

Try to relax. Ofcourse easier said than done but it's clear your husband & child need you to be strong.

People will try to help and advise when they are able to.

You said your husband is British.
This is a good thing.

You can go to the Citizen's Advice Bureau (CAB) to start with to ask for guidance & help & support.
As you are new to this country they should be able to guide you to appropriate support services.

It sounds like your husband needs medical support - are you registered with a GP surgery or other medical service?
You will need to do that for you & your child too.
If not CAB may point you in right direction for that.

They should be able to help or at least advise you about housing too.

Don't worry so much about the RC for now.
An RC is not a visa it is an optional card that is used to confirm your status in UK.
It doesn't grant your status - it just confirms it.

As long as you are married you have you rights & residency in UK from your husband.

Do you have friends or a support network here ?
- how about a local church or other religious organisation?

People here may seem stand-offish at first as the culture may be quite different here;
but once you break the ice it should be possible to make friends & meet neighbours in the community.

Best of luck.

I really appreciate and thanks
We have tried but I can't be helped because i have no national insurance number, i tried apply for it in birmingham and was told to wait until i get document from home office stating that i am allowed to work here.
We are registered with the G.p and we have appointment on 8 October,
All this time my husband has refused medication and doesn't work.
And my visa will expire on November which i am afraid i may be deported
And my child is so young to be in the care of her sick father

Hmm, I suppose the RC (or even an initial COA) will help you to get a NI number.

No you will not become illegal & you will not be deported - your status is from your husband (it is not from having a RC).

Good that you have a GP.
Try to find a dentist that takes NHS patients too.

You have to stay strong so it's important you don't feel alone & isolated.
You must not be shy.
You need to reach out to the community.

You can ask in the library to find information about this.
Perhaps find a young mother's group,
Join a church (or temple or mosque) - surely the people there can offer friendship & community support.

Is there a Somali &/or Romanian community in the area?

Do try to get to the CAB or a migrant support group - they will surely point you in the right direction.

See CAB:

Shelter may be able to help with housing:

Thanks a lot
the information you have provided me with is really helpful though I am stressed my husband seem to get worse as I talked to him about this he kept repeating everything and finally said the places where we think to get help they are after him and they want to do something bad to him and won't step afoot to go there, I really tried before putting medicine in his food and drink and he got to know, I don't want to call police to drag him to hospital by force as he will get so angry. Is it okay if I phone, will get advise on the phone?
thanks

Hope it helps a little.

Yes, you can get general medical advice over the phone from the NHS helpline.
Just call: 111

It is a free service & it is free to call them even on a mobile.
It is available 24*7.
Call 111 if:
  • you need medical help fast but it's not a 999 emergency;
    you think you need to go to A&E or need another NHS urgent care service;
    you don't know who to call or you don't have a GP to call;
    you need health information or reassurance about what to do next;

See http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNHSse ... S-111.aspx

Ofcourse for a real emergency the number is 999
- that is for police, fireservice or ambulance service.

You clearly have a lot on your plate;
- perhaps you have to make the decisions for now so it's not too much stress for your husband.

Keep strong - best of luck.

You can call 111 at any time.
They have a translation service - just ask & see if any language you prefer to use is available.

Yes, your representative can submit that RC application for you.
You can go ahead, In this country you don't need your husband's permission or anything like that.

You will need to make sure you have all the necessary papers & documents available as evidence.
As it's for your RC you can sign or authorise that application.

Suggest asking your solicitor about your position as the dependent family member of an EEA national who is (possibly/probably) unable to work due to ill health or incapacity.
Find out: Are you able to acquire PR on that basis even without your sponsor (spouse) exercising treaty rights in UK for 5 years.

Ofcourse it's complicated due to the dual nationality of your husband;
however, as you have come to UK via Norway that's a Surinder Singh route - so your husband can still be treated as an EEA national within the UK, (despite him being a BC too).

Finally. there's some more information about housing here:

More about PR which is one form of settled status in UK.
(That means living safe & sound in UK with complete residency rights).
You can also get permanent residence if you’ve lived in the UK for a continuous period of 5 years:
  • as the family member of the relevant British citizen, if you entered the UK under the ‘Surinder Singh’ route
OR
You can get permanent residence before 5 years if:
  • your EEA national family member was working or self-employed in the UK but has ‘ceased activity’ (stopped work or self-employment because of retirement or permanent incapacity

Possible.

However, you should show that you are eligible under the Surinder Singh immigration route.

My situation is complicated. Everyday its different story.
My husband is planning to go to his country iraq because he doesn't want treatment here, he woke up telling me he will get ticket and leave and i should go back Romania since i am a refugee there or go Africa. He did not sleep the entire just thinking about the charity organisations i told him about, I thought i was helping feel less stress about the problems we have. I couldn't believe how his illness has gotten even more bad, he doesn't feel anything for us and is serious to run away as if that will solve anything. I am tired of begging him to take medication and be a good father to our child and we have a happy family. I will apply for Zombrano so i can provide for my child.

Sorry to hear that.
I don't know what to say really - it's getting out of my depth now.

I don't know about Zambrano but if the sponsor (EEA national) leaves the relationship (or leaves UK) you may be able to apply for a retained right of residence. That is if you decide your future is in UK.

It seems your husband needs peace - hope he can find it.
It seems you & child need a place of safety - hope you can find it.

I am really scared to call the number 111 so he can get help, i dont know what he will do when he finds out i am trying to get him help, i really live in fear yet i want to help me get better. I am really stranded and i can not go to women shelter, how i speak bad about him, he's my baby daddy. Yes i know his done some bad things like close me inside the house and take the key when he goes out because he dont trust people that he think they will change me, he refusing me to have friends, he doesnt want i work that his country women dont work and when they do, they feel big on men and he can not accept that, so many other things but i feel gulity when i think of leaving, i dont know who will help him after, i really want he get well
