hi there, yes, calling the homeoffice doesn't really help. We are waiting for my husbands EEA 2 residency card. Usually I try to call in the morning, best chance to get through to someone. I called to see what's going on, as we have our passports, how do they want to progress the application? All Ig...

We applied end of february and we are still waiting. If you want to travell, ask for your passport back, you need to call, than they will give you a fax number and you also need to send a fax. Make sure you ask for your passports in time, takes a least 10 working days. If you can travell, it depends...

Thank you for your answers. I called home office again. The passports were sent out by "Secure Mail Service" (SMS) not royal mail, they gave me Reference number and phone number. I called Secure Mail straight after. They said fine, we will deliver it tomorrow!! I hope it works, can't wait till tomor...

My husband got a family permit, and we did not have any phone bills or calling cards. But we had photos with different dates during our relationship and also some letters, postcards and E-Mails.

I found something interessting on the homepage of the German Embassy in London: You DO NOT need a visa for Germany short stays if you are: - a citizen of the EU/EEA/EFTA - a family member of an EU/EEA/EFTA national (but NOT a German citizen) if you hold a British Residence Card and if you are travel...

Thanks for the answer. Sorry, I didn't write very clearly. We only want to go to Germany for Holiday, we live and work both in the UK. And the residency card will be in the passport, so he will have both together. There is the "DIRECTIVE 2004/58/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT" which actually allows y...

Once you have your emergency passport, you must tra...
