EEA FAMILY PERMIT

I'm new to this forum and i hope you can help me answer my questions.
i was illegal for about 7years in the uk i move with my wife and 2 children to Ireland and i applied for eu1 which was granted.
i now want to visit the uk with my family for 2wks.
will my past immigration status in the uk work against me for eea family permit. while i was in the uk i was arrested for traffic offence, i got into the uk through an agent and my passport is also issued in the uk. would any of these work against my eea application.
thank

Can any please help with my questions.

which EEA are you applying under and which treaty rights are you exercising?

Since most EEA FPs are refused now I don't think you will get it in view of your previous illegally.
You will really have to prove that you are only going for 2 weeks with a pre-arranged tour or flights / hotel bookings etc

I'm applying for the UK EEA FAMILY PERMIT

Just a lot of people seem to be getting refused recently judging by this and other websites

I would just turn up at the airport and border.

Your wife is a UK national I assume?

If so, has she been employed / self-employed in Ireland for at least six months?

Yes my wife is uk national and she has been employed here in ireland for over i year.

Then apply for an EEA FP at the British embassy in Dublin, assuming that you will be accompanying or joining your wife in the UK. Your previous immigration history in the UK does not affect your right of entry or residence under the terms of Directive 2004/38/EC.

Thank you

Wrong (twice in first sentence). And wrong for last sentence.

It sounds like the original poster is legally resident in Ireland and wants to make a trip back to the UK.

Will you be travelling together with your spouse?

UKBA seems to really not like it if you have lied to them (i.e. have made false statements) or have used multiple identities. If you have done none of this, I suspect you should be fine. Just apply for an EEA family permit.

Remember that if you are staying in the UK for less than 90 days, you are not required to give any information about your finances, bank statements, information about where you work, etc. Your wife may need to show that she is working in Ireland, as that is what qualifies you for EEA treatment
