Dear guys, well today it is me asking questions as Home Office are giving me the silence treatment. Has anyone applied for Entry Clearance as spouse of a recognised stateless person. The immigration rules makes provision for leave to enter, but what about the form for the spouse. I welcome feedback ...

He should issue a 10 years Visa not 5 years.

It should be 10 years WAB.

Well it is fine for the temporary stamp 4 to state just stamp 4. However, it is wrong for the permanent residence document to state Stamp 4 only. The treaty states the card must record that it has been issued under the withdrawal agreement. Therefore either they should call it a stamp 4 WAB card, bu...

The answer should be in the negative, since you have not left the state since being undocumented.

Just out of interest guys, I have recently noticed that those PR people receiving the new residence permit that the department start issuing since March 2022, do not have a statement saying the card was issued under the withdrawal agreement, it simply states stamp 4, and this clearly breaches the te...

I apologise if I misread your post. It is just the suggestion that the earliest time the child will qualify is 2026, gave me the impression, that you are suggesting the other parent must also be a settled person. I take back the views i expressed, if the suggestion was not that both parents must be ...

With all due respect Secretsimon, the guidance does not appear to support what you are saying. If you look at the 1st 3 lines of page 29, and the second alternative requirement bullet point, it is clear that it is not compulsory for both parents to have settled status. You are a very experienced and...

Claiming maternity benefits will not affect your visa.

As indicated, it is not means tested, and it will be discriminatory on grounds of gender if you were prohibited from claiming it, as such conditions will likely affect female workers than male workers.

AND that both the child and the other parent have settled status/ILR. I am not sure that is correct. It suffice that one of the parent is settled, applying for British citizen or already and British Citizen, and the other parent has status in the UK, which does not make them removable in the short ...

For the Home Office, the deadline to appeal is 14 days. 28 days only applies if you are applying from outside the UK.

They do not issue EEA family permit anymore, so hopefully father in law and brother in law will receive EU settlement scheme family permit..

You will be fine, you have no need to worry.

I think some aspect of your response may need modification. 1. The child will be entitled to Settled status and not pre settled status. 2. The Treaty provides for application to be made within 3 months of entry. 3. Registration can be done under 3 (1) for a child under 13, without the need for 3 yea...

I think ‘ under this Appendix ’ refers to Appendix EU . Appendix EU differs from Appendix EU (Family Permit) . This is an important point Vinny. EU settlement family permit is not leave to remain, but when a person enters the UK with it, it is leave to enter under Appendix EU. So far I have been re...

It will go against the treaty rules for an EU state to stamp the passport of memberstates citizen. This is prohibited.

You advise on this thread seems unimpeachable. I cannot add anything substantive to it.

The child appears to have acquired nationality lawfully, and the OP need not worry herself about paternity issues.

Mother wasn’t married yet to husband. That considerably complicates matters. If the parents were not married at the time of the birth of the child , the child may very well not be a British citizen. @vinny @Obie , any thoughts on this niche issue? It may help to know when the child was born. As a c...

It is absurd, to require a citizen to apply for reentry visa. It makes a mockery of stamp 6 and put stamp 6 beneficiaries in a disadvantageous position to other stamp holders who do not require a reentry visa. I think the main issue is airlines and foreign countries’ exit controls do not recognise ...

Try and make amends with you parents. If you jave settled status, you dont need to rely on a sponsor.

It is absurd, to require a citizen to apply for reentry visa. It makes a mockery of stamp 6 and put stamp 6 beneficiaries in a disadvantageous position to other stamp holders who do not require a reentry visa.

It undermines the entire point of stamp 6, if airlines dont accept it. The Irish government has a duty to explain it to airlines.

The equivalent of a right of Abode, that is issued to British citizen on their foreign passport is accepted by airlines.

That is the policy.

You could get free biometrics.

You do not qualify under the EU settlement scheme. Your case is a Surinder Singh case, and your partner ought to have resided with you in another EEA state, for you to qualify.

Lounes does not apply, as you have always been a British citizen since birth.

Hello, Mods and Expert any advice will be highly appreciated. I work for a very reputable investment bank and have been offered a role in Qatar, so I called my solicitor to see if in any way I can take that role due to the fact on FLR FP there are conditions which doesn’t allow us to work abroad or...

Either you applied for the wrong visa, or your wife was issued the wrong visa. EUTR is mostly for those who intends to live in Ireland. The visa allows the applicant to come to Ireland and apply for a residence permit. It is not intended for tourism. In the Avats website, which visa type and reason...
