Hi Rich, Just read your post, I was wondering even if you got your concurrent passport to travel later, will you also have the BRP with you? (Cuz I assume the application also holds your BRP too? or if the concurrent passport covers this? ) The reason I asked, as I also try to figure out the re-ente...
Same problem here. Submitted my application and need to travel in June. I have another passport which I can use. However, I did have my application passport (where my tier 5 stamped) returned from HO. but the BRP still with them. For my upcoming travel, I would bring both of the passports and other ...
Read from the guide you should notify them while your circumstance changes.
However, I also wondered which is the best contact to notify them while my return address has changed later. Could anyone share their experiences?
Hello again, Just a run down of the process I went through - I should preface this by saying that I am by no means an expert and every case is different. A good immigration consultant will give you some guidance over the phone before you apply. My T5 expired July 2017, I began the application proce...
This forum has recently helped me a lot, and thanks for sharing the experiences here. I have been preparing my application, and kindly like to find out the confusions below: 1. Can I apply for a family permit (as an unmarried partner) on a visitor visa? I am now in U.K but planning to apply for a fa...
1. Would that be a ground for a refusal when you send your application after your EEA FM expired? Hello angel0317 I have decided to go ahead and apply for my Residence Card. I don't think this would be a ground for a refusal as by law you are allowed to stay here even when your EEA FM expired and y...
The Home Office helpline is outsourced to a third-party company and is often quite wrong. Your immigration lawyer is correct. Your right to reside in the Uk would start either from the date of your marriage to an EEA Citizen or from the date of issue of the Residence Card, if an unmarried partner. ...
Hi Eliza, yes my employer did get a reply within 5 working days. I didn't show my first COA and I also didn't tell them I couldn't work. I just told them to do the check. When I finally received the second COA I then did show it to them. Hi Lily, Thank you for sharing your story. You have a very si...
oh really> I supposed that's the source for the official information? doesnt matter they are outsourced or in-house? if that's not true, then I am really confused where I can get the most official messages/information from :? Unwise to rely on the advice give over the Home Office 'help line'. This s...
Just an update here. I called HO-EEA department today just to double check my right to stay in U.K in the period between my visa expires and my EEA EFM application (pending) , I was told I can stay in UK. As long as my visa is valid at the time I apply the application , I won't be an overstayer whil...
Thank you so much for your prompt reply, Simon. It was clear- and now I am a bit worried about the situation, as this is unexpected. However, If I submit my application, my passport will be with the home office during the application, so understanding I would be treated as an overstayer in this case...
Hi Simon, Thanks so much for your answer! Based on your answer, does that mean even I receive a COA before my Tier 5 visa expires, I will be an overstayer and need to leave UK? (As we are now waiting a closer time to apply as we are cohabitation less than 2 years, but we can provide reasons why we w...
if she are married, would she have protection against deportation? Hi goodpartner, We are not married yet. But we are planning to. And then apply through EEA FM route. My situation is really complicated. I feel like I am in a grey area and can be deported at any time. Can't even sleep properly at n...
Hello, I have been following the forum awhile, and it's very helpful to collect experiences from different cases and applicant backgrounds. I am in the preparation of my EEA EFM application now and are not sure by some of the situations below: Background: I am a British Nationals Overseas (Commonwea...
Hey, Please do keep us updated on your application. We're not far behind you, although we are waiting until at least February 2018 to submit --- this way, we are only 2 months out from our actual 2-year cohabitation anniversary when we apply (2 years would be April 2018). Obviously rather nervous a...
Hello All, I am the non-EEA applicant and my partner is the EEA QP(Irish). I applied in(July 2017)through a solicitor via the Unmarried partner route. My partner exercises his treaty rights,has a full time job and we have co-habited and been in a relationship for about 2 years. We submitted most of...
