Sorry, but my crystal ball is at the cleaner. So you need to give a bit more information - the reason for the original visa, your nationality, how you got married etc.

sorry i was in a rush writing it, his original visa was a residence permit obtained following his 1st visa which was for being a dependant on his mother who came over to the uk to work. im a british citizen. we got married 2 years ago in a CofE church while his visa was still valid for another 6 months. we have 2 children one is 4 and a half the other is 15 weeks, im currently still on maternity leave. he has been in the uk for nearly 7 years now.

There are two waysto sort this;

1. Ur hubby to return home and apply for spouse visa.

2. Apply under Human rights grounds.

I am a supporter of 1. since 2. is difficult, lengthy, and has less chance of succeeding.

Under 1. while it's a pain in the arse it's done and dusted in the quickest time, via normal routes that the whole system if familar with so no surprises.

Wrong forum then - European/EEA law does not apply. And as Wanderer says, the chances of an in country application succeeding any time soon are slim.
