Hi everyone, wondering if I may get some advice from you as I have had excellent support from this forum before and now is the time to apply for my wife's Permanent Residence. Let me ask the question, and then set the background. Do transitional provisions under McCarthy apply for PR applications, a...
Hi. Well we managed to sort it out. We couldn't apply together because I (the EEA citizen) wasn't actually exercising EC Rights and I hadn't moved to the UK at the time of the application. She had to wait until the following year for the next recruitment so that we met all the requirements. Everythi...
OK. That statement makes sense. My query was whether the transitional arrangements would still apply for the PR. They gave different cut-off dates for the FP and for the RC/PR but nothing really about what happens 5 years down the line when the RC is supposed to turn into a PR. Anyhow, thanks for th...
Thanks for that Jambo. It would be interesting to see what that loophole actually was and how it was closed. You got any links? If as a spouse of BC you can't use that route, what are the issues considering the RC with the new ammendment to the EEA rules that states the EU-national cannot be a Briti...
Thanks. Someone made me aware of this when we were originally applying for my wife to come to the UK (namely the Settlement Visa). But it seems that according to what is said by UKBA, the requirements do not specify what 'visa' you have as long as you are not 'been in breach of immigration rules dur...
Hello, Firstly thank you all for the help I have achieved on this forum. Using the expert advice from people here me and my wife have successfully obtained an FP, fought the refusal of a second FP and got it granted and are now proud owners of a 5-year RC. Our details: Husband: dual British+Polish (...
Hello, many thanks for all the help that I got on this forum. I'm hoping I can get a little more. Our situation: my wife Non-EU (Belarus) and me UK/EU (British + Polish) married in Poland , travelled to the UK on Family Permit, applied for EEA2 RC (COA, RC still pending).we applied under old rules, ...
That was done a few months ago during employment checks - unfortunately I used the British passport. But if we were to go ahead and complete a EEA2 form, then proof of work from the Employer (a letter) would surely just state my 'Name' and 'Date of Birth' - not my nationality. (I guess it could easi...
This is a new thread I'm starting from a different one. Starting with a few quotes from the last few posts: Directive/2004/38/EC -> I just read the link at the bottom of your post - I am in this position - I am a dual national - British and Polish... Am I right in saying that they just implemented t...
Sorry - actually I just read that the commencement of the exclusion of British nationals will be enforced from 16th October 2012. Commencement [/u] 2.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2) these Regulations will come into force on 16th July 2012. (2) Paragraph 1(d) of Schedule 1 to these Regulations will com...
"Prove my right of work' - to who? Employer or UKBA? (Employer already knows I'm British) I just flicked through the EEA2 application and it asks 'Does the EEA National also have British citizenship?' - but thats the 'old' EEA2 (the new hasnt been issued) I'm just reading [http://www.legislation.gov...
Haha... Thanks for trying to calm me down, but I expect a lot of head scratching in the forseable future... Regarding what you said: I've got a job lined up already, 2-year contract, start next Monday actually - but as far as using the Polish passport - its too late - I've had a bank account here fo...
No - I was studying so I don't fall into the Surrinder-Singh case (British citizen working in a EU country then relocating back to the UK). I'm just reading the UKBA now and they haven't made any guidance yet nor have they amended the EEA2 Residence Card application form. Whole thing has me sweating...
Directive/2004/38/EC -> I just read the link at the bottom of your post - I am in this position - I am a dual national - British and Polish... Am I right in saying that they just implemented this new law that the family members of dual national EU/British cannot benefit from the EU-free movement? My...
This forum provided so much help for me and my wife that the least I can do is share and help some more. The UK is great, except for the rain (haha). Now we have a completely new task of fixing all the other day-to-day things: - setting up a bank account/adding her to mine for a joint-account (need ...
Thanks [NewJD3]. I my letter was actually here, but I deleted it whilst we were waiting for the decision from the Embassy (so that nobody copied it - at the time it could have affected our application). Now we are in UK, I dont see why we cant share it in order to help people out. [Please consider t...
One of things that was written on the refusal that my wife got was "Every application is looked at seperately, irrespective of the previous applications". So although her previous EEA Family Permit was granted, she was refused the next one. It means that everytime you apply, you must supply evidence...
You can only travel with or join the EEA national. The EEA Regulations are there to keep the family together, so if you want to travel solo you have to do the normal UK immigration route. Otherwise you need to travel together or have proof that you are joining your EEA national in the UK (ie he/she ...
Interesting, yet shocking at the same time. It seems that the recruitment is run locally and internationally - I would have rather expected them to be UK based ECO's sent abroad - in order to respresent UK interests in international territory. I guess the expat-packages are too expensive, and local ...
We are planning to submit for visit (6days) .Do u think EEA FP can be granted for these purpose ? Every documents are available Yes. Under EEA Regulations, EEA nationals are allowed to travel anywhere in the EU and so are their Family Members. This is easy in Schengen. So from Germany to France, yo...
I asked my wife how it was - but she said that there was nothing - no explanation, no apology - just professional and to the point. She did mention though, that whilst walking through the courtyard, she saw the staff talking (smoking area or something) and everyone was Polish. The woman who gave her...
