It looks like UKBA makes fun of me. We got another refusal letter today (my passport wasn't returned again). They said that they are happy now with the evidence of sufficient funds BUT ..... they want CSI now. Although in the first refusal letter there was clear note that we don't need CSI as we app...

My wife is still a student. To exercise treaty rights she needs to be self-sufficient. She doesn't have any income since 2008. I'm the only worker in the family.

We are as a family are self-sufficient. The regulations are not clear about self-sufficient subject.

Thank you everyone for comments. I've read point 16 of the Directive. I wonder if the note below related to EEA nationals or for me (non-EEA)as well. "In no case should an expulsion measure be adopted against workers, self-employed persons or job-seekers as defined by the Court of Justice save on gr...

Home Office returned my wife and son's passports. They received refusal letters as well but they can stay in UK.

Good idea about compensation! Firstly I want to receive my permanent residence, then I think about it.

We are now worried theat we will forget to mention something or provide different dates in the new for...
