Re: Surinder Singh Settled Status Paper Application:

Thank you all guys for updating your status here. We are very much on the same timeline. Not aware of what 'stage 2' means either as Mdml07 mentioned. I will contact them again at the beginning of Feb. Hope the results end up well. Good luck everyone.

Re: Surinder Singh Settled Status Paper Application:

Anyone applying last September is still waiting for a decision? We've received the COA at the beginning of November. It's almost 3 months since that, still, nothing. Called HO twice, got an official answer of 'no timeline can be given' every single time. 5 years RC will be expiring next month... :(

Re: EU & Brexit Deal

Still very unclear at this stage. Very reserved offer if UK doesn't specify dispute right, family members and on top of that, UK wants to ditch the ECJ ruling, which means no guarantee in reality for whoever entering the country by EEA law, let alone the grey areas like 'extended family members', re...

Once out of airport we will, indeed, go to take a bus to Belfast, but I understand that there is no land border control. My worry is about my non -EEA hus...

Re: Visa required for my non-EU widowed mother for Ireland

Ok I see what you mean now. After you apply for EU1 visa for her in Ireland, she will receive letter from Ireland authority, i.e.INIS any way, and potentially can have her a 6 months stamp 4 after 4 weeks or so. That should be sufficient to show she is resident in Ireland at that time, not UK. Also,...

Re: Visa required for my non-EU widowed mother for Ireland

As your mom is an Indian national, she can benefit from the visa waiver program which will be valid untill 2016, but I would suggest you don't run the risk of going through the customs and explain her purpose of travelling at border control. Just go from Northern Ireland, it is legal in every way. O...

Re: non eea dependent parents visa refused

They have already stated in the refusal letter that you need to prove you are a qualified person, as you've been in Ireland for more than 3 months already. Do you have any employment letter, work contract, payslips? Anything work related really.

There's no problem that you apply for a residence card in Ireland and your application won't be turned down purely because you have been refused by UK before. However, you should be careful the reason, for which your UK application got refused, isn't there any more. There must be some quite solid gr...

It takes them ages to reply an email. It may not be a good idea to expect getting back from them within days. Have you tried give them a ring? Or even you can pop over to Burgh Quay and probably talk to them directly.

The list requested looks pretty straightforward apart from 4 and 7. As I understand your parents don't need to prove they had any sort of legal status while in UK with you, plus if you are working, they shouldn't be required to provide proof of health insurance.
