Hi, Thanks for your full details on this. Just to confirm, where you able to keep hold of your passport so that you can travel whilst your application is under consideration? I noticed on the gov website it says: We will seek to return documents to customers at the end of the appointment, with some...
Hi, My partner recently received her BRP which stats Residence card of a family member of a union citizen. At the back it has EU right to Reside. The previous residence permit was on her passport and said Family Member of a EEA Citizen. I am a EU citizen and we always travel together, never had any ...
I went to my appointment with UKVCAS at the Cambridge service point. It is tucked away on the top floor with most of the privacy being provided by banners. After finding the entrance to this little alcove, there was no wait and I was immediately seen to: I was asked for my passport and appointment ...
Hi, My partner (non-EEA) just got BPR card and as I am dual EU/British can apply for British citizenship straight away. When I applied for my British Citizenship I took my documents to be checked (by a council service I believe) before the application was sent so that I could hold on to my passport....
Actually just reading the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016 and it says: Family members of British citizens 9.—(1) If the conditions in paragraph (2) are satisfied, these Regulations apply to a person who is the family member (“F”) of a British citizen (“BC”) as though the BC wer...
This file has also been updated in April: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/610197/direct_family_members_of_eea_nationals_v5_0.pdf "British citizens who are also nationals of other EEA member states are not considered to be ‘EEA nationals...
I don't know if you can apply for a EEA family permit from within the UK as we did not do that, only after we got the 6 month one. Perhaps someone else can confirm this if they have been in the same situation. Regarding to flying together without a visa I don't know if anyone would allow him on the ...
I don't think you can apply for for the EEA FP as the non-EEA person would have had to be in the UK for 5 years. My case, EU citizen living in the UK. Met my non-EU partner abroad and then decided to get married, we applied for a Fiance visa to get married in the UK which was refused so we got marri...
Unfortunately nothing is certain at the moment but this is an interesting read: https://europeanlawblog.eu/2018/03/05/lounes-naturalisation-and-brexit/ A few people here are in the middle of applying for PR EEA. Me and my partner will be in the same boat in December. I just got my BC, my partner is ...
Hi @Ron 121. Congratulations man. You gave us a great hope that everyone needs. So will the HO allowed you to apply for british citizenship straight away? Or you have to wait for one year? Many thanks in advance. I will apply next month i will update everyone once I hear any news Good luck! Hope it...
My extended family member application has also been refused because I am a dual national, which is what I was expecting. I cannot appeal yet because the refusal is under 2016 regulations which don't allow appeal against refusal of EEA FP to Extended Family Member. Waiting for the opinion of ECJ on ...
Hello everyone . Thank you for update . @Pusched and Chaoscontrol I can't understand what these post mean is it meaning after Brexit no applying Lounes Judgement ? Could someone explain in simple way please ? @Salu and Ron121 any news from HO ? Please update . Thanks to all for sharing stories . At...
The intro kinda sums it up: "Lounes has now added an interesting twist to this situation. The essence of this judgment is that a migrant Union Citizen who naturalizes cannot be compared to a native citizen – their migrant history means that they should be treated differently, and continue to enjoy t...
I agree with success82. It is important for people to share their experiences and use it when applying for whatever we need. Yes it is scary to think HO may refuse the application but remember the law is in our side for now but there's not much we can do but learn of other's experience and do what w...
Dear friends thanks for keep updating , i think some lucky ones like Success82's application went to good caseworkers table and got success even HO has not changed regulation MC Carthy 2012 and were ignoring implementation of Lounes judgement . i have some doubts if you are unlucky and your applica...
Dear friends , Senior gurus thank you for updates, sharing your experience in this forum God bless you all . Salu and Success82 please could you explain more details about you application that how did you submit appllication by yourself or through solicitor please ? I am thinking to apply through a...
I am a silent reader of this forum like Salu(post above) and i started following the board back in December 2012 when i applied for my 5year EEA residence card and shared my timeline and this is my story (I hope this encourage everyone in dual eea/uk cases).......I got married to EU citizen in Nove...
Just found a few things online: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41012265 UK will leave EU court's jurisdiction but this won't be until at least end of March 2019. This will depend on the transitional period which could take years as per this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/20/...
keep in mind though that yo are not officially British until you attend the ceremony. Maybe there is a way to postpone this or in the worst case, then there my be an option where you need to re-apply for the BC again if you miss it. I rather pay 1200£ to re-apply (and this should be pretty straight...
