Does she have a Latvian Alien's Passport or a proper one??ghazanfar wrote:hi, my wife is latvian and i m living in latvia with a temporary residence permit. we want to move uk. pls help us . how we can move to uk? and how we can get uk passport?
Apply to the British consulate in Latvia for an EEA Family Permit. Go to the UK. Within three months either you or your wife must find a job or open a business. Or, she must start schooling. Or, you must have enough funds between you to live without working. Then you apply for a Residence Card using form EEA2. It is valid for 5 years. After 5 years, you will both have acquired PR.ghazanfar wrote:hi, my wife is latvian and i m living in latvia with a temporary residence permit. we want to move uk. pls help us . how we can move to uk?
Once you are British citizens. Naturalisation applications can only made once you are permanent residents (i.e., after 5 years).ghazanfar wrote:and how we can get uk passport?

1. A Pakistani living in Latvia - Asians are few and far between in this former Soviet Republic not really known for it's facial tolerance. How did that happen?
2. Only been there a short while, how about settling a while?
3. Already wants to relocate to UK, why the rush?
4. Already wants a UK passport. Ah, the answer....

Ooohh... inwarsaw, Hold your horses mate. Don't get too emotional.many Pakistanis, indians and africans doing the same sh** all over again !! I don't like writing long posts but guys like you make me sick !! and I face so much embarassment because of dumb asses like yourself ! You ruin an innocent girl's life, you ruin reputation of your country and people and you make things difficult for genuine cases all because you want to have a british pasport !!! I wish I could use the language that I want to use now and I wish I was the admin of this site, I would have never let any ******* like you write a word on this forum !!
Cor blimey this topic is getting very interesting particularly with comments such as above.I am advising you this from my own experienve, I am from Pakistan myself, married to a Polish girl and living here in Poland and I am sick to death of stories like yours because I see so many !! so many Pakistanis, indians and africans doing the same sh** all over again !! I don't like writing long posts but guys like you make me sick !! and I face so much embarassment because of dumb asses like yourself ! You ruin an innocent girl's life, you ruin reputation of your country and people and you make things difficult for genuine cases all because you want to have a british pasport !!! I wish I could use the language that I want to use now and I wish I was the admin of this site, I would have never let any ******* like you write a word on this forum !!
Wow! Amazinginwarsaw wrote:I wish those comments were rubbish, I would love to see them proved rubbish but they are in fact not. As I mentioned, I am living here in Poland with my Polish wife and its been more than a year now.
As for the explanation you asked for ( even though your question is what actually rubbish is called ), I met my wife 6 years ago when I was in Pakistan and Poland was not a member of the EU and I had no idea whatsoever in my mind of moving to europe some day. Instead we have been actually planning to move to somewhere in Mideast after finishing studies. However, my father had different plans for me and being from a strict conservative and traditionalist family, I had no choice but to listen ( your nick says Khan, if you are really a Khan, you should know what I am talking about ) he had dreams of his son getting educated in Englastan, the country of 'Farangi' ( thats what the British were called when they were our rulers ) and I ended up in UK.
After we both finished studies, we were planning to go to Pakistan so she would see my family ( I had already seen her's as I was here a couple of times ) but even though my mum was excited as she already knew about my girl, my father went mad when my mom told him
about the 'white, christian girl from the West' .
We spent the next couple of months figuring out what to do and within this time, my father back home managed to fix my marriage with a girl I had never seen never heard. So the first thing that came to my mind
was to get married with my girl-friend right away so there would be no threat of being forced by my family and so we got married. None of us
was feeling good about it because we had different plans for our Big Day. The next question was where to stay ? As my girl's family
had no such objection on our relationship, Poland seemed the best choice. We wanted to stay in UK originally but although I could get
a job easily, my wife couldn't find the work she wanted and I didn't want her to end up packing in a factory or filling shelves in a supermarket after studying hard for six years to get her degree. When I came to Poland, I was on a visit visa which is not changeable to any work permit
( even though finding a job in here if you don't speak polish is itself second to impossible ) while being in Poland. I could either
go back to Pakistan and apply for work visa from there, get visa to another country and then apply from there or just stay in poland
and apply for work visa based on my wedding and the last option seemed the easiest ( what would you do in such a case ? ) and so
here I am, a Pakistani married to a Polish girl living in Poland !
My father hasn't spoken to me for the last two years since he came to
know about my wife and he has vowed never to see my face again, I had to meet my mother outside when I went to visit her because
I couldn't go home as my father had threatened me never to step in his house and so many other things. No normal person would do
this just to get a stay in europe would he ?
Having said that, its not a crime for a Pakistani to get married with a Polish is it ? The question is not about nationality, race, religion or
ethnicity, the question is about what do you have on your mind.
I have been living in Poland for the last one and a half year and I am still waiting to see a genuine relationship of this sort but I hear every now
and then about some Pakistani, Indian or African using an eastern european girl for immigration purposes and I am not talking about reading in the newspaper, I am talking about what I see around me in real life.
I am not into generalisation, in fact thats the last thing I would do looking at what I have been through simply because of generalisation
but this post is clearly a marriage of convenience. I would love to ask the same questions as Wanderer asked for example !
As for the community thing, I care about my community, my people and the country I come from and this is why I oppose in whatever way possible ( and I wish I could actually stop ) these black sheeps. There are more than 170 million Pakistanis living back home but just because of a few such morons, all of the 170 million become suspects and this is what I can't tolerate !!
Thanks for sharing your story, inwarsaw. Very touching and a very interesting read indeed. Hope all works out well for you.inwarsaw wrote:I wish those comments were rubbish, I would love to see them proved rubbish but they are in fact not.
