Hello ..did you use a cover letter? Has anyone tried without a form and received a COA? Hi Patience, Unfortunately, I did not and wasted so much time filling in a form that it was changed and I then refilled an updated one! But I have since come across posts of non-EEA nationals applying using cove...

Hi am EU member want to apply for RP card got application from of 85 page's haven't got a clue where to start is anybody knows what pages or sections need to fill in please :roll: Thanks Hi Lukas24, having struggled with this form myself, I later realised that we do not even have to fill in the for...

Same boat. Mine is different or slightly better.

Residence Card expires in July 2014 , same time I qualify for Naturalisation. so no issues with travelling etc.

Still not decided on waiting for naturalisation or applying for confirmation of permanent residence.

You should qualify this Summer for PR. July 2013 to be precise. thanks for the clarification. My residence Card is Valid till July 2014. I plan to wait till then without applying for confirmation of permanent residence, so I would qualify for BC. At least I should be able to carry out normal activi...

So, did it take you a full year to get a Residence Card in 2008/2009?? Anyway, as Obie says, the clock starts in your case on the day that the non-EEA first entered the UK on an EEA Family Permit. It might be useful if you still have the passport used for this entry, and in particular the entry sta...

Need Assistance on when the clock starts for Non-EEA Permanent Residency qualification? EEA National started exercising treaty rights in the UK from 2005 till date. Non EEA and EEA traveled to Ghana from UK in March 2008 for marriage. Marriage takes place in March 2008. EEA National returns to the U...

I envisaged the UKBA to do just this, i believe when the provision is included in the Immigration regulation it should then cover every parent with an EU minor and not just parents with British minors, until then it just one step from where to where! So who does it cover according to curremt UKBA i...

Thanks Vinny.

Any ideas on how to start a refund procedure?

This is a break down of events: I am a non EEA Family member of an EEA National.I am holding a Residence Card and we both reside in the UK. My lil sister applied for an EEA Family permit to join us, since she was financially dependent on us(EEA Family Relative and Non EEA Brother) from the country s...

Mcovet you have a PM. Or PM me back. Thanks

i've checked the link.Thanks......that means my brother is eligible for EEA family permit. We lived in the same household before coming to the U.K. At the moment, he is financially dependent on me and my EEA spouse ( studying )although he lives in Nigeria but we want him to come over to the U.K . M...

There is no requirement that the brother has to be dependant on the Union Citizen. Dependancy or member of the same household as the spouse of the Union citizen , should suffice for that purpose. Also the UKBA has acknowledge that regulation 8(2) and 12 (1)b(i) are unlawfull,and has changed casewor...

Your brother should qualify. He is financially dependent on you and your wife(EU National) to meet his essential needs from the country he is coming from(Nigeria). You have to proof financial dependency.It should be a matter of fact. That is how she can qualify. Someone should correct me if I am wro...

I think you can qualify if you show proof of financial dependence.Proof your brother is dependent on you and your EEA wife will do.

Since based on your story, your EEA wife and brother have never resided in the same household for a considerable period.

Forgot to add I was travelling alone and did not fill the landing card.

I arrived from Australia into Heathrow on Tuesday morning.I hold a 5 year residence card. I used the UK and European queue and presented my passport. Immigration officer looked at it, and told me wrong queue.I calmly said, no sorry, right queue.He was perplexed as I was very calm and firm about it.T...

To what extent? The support throught the EEA national must be substantial. Are there any other family members that (could) provide for her? With this recent High Court ruling, i am unsure they will be able to apply the above. Which means that this would work in favour of the OP, i.e. they support t...

Thanks for your input.

She is 24.

She is financially dependent on me and my spouse(EEA National) from the country she currently is in. To what extent? The support throught the EEA national must be substantial. Are there any other family members that (could) provide for her? It is basically financial.We sponsor her in the Uni(rents,...

I wonder where the sister on a non EEA resident permit holder falls? Nowhere unless they also have a relationship with the EEA national as described in Article 2(2) or in Article 3(2) of the Directive. Hint: was your sister a member of the EEA national's household in the country from which she has ...

I wonder where the sister on a non EEA resident permit holder falls?

Very confusing.

Thanks for the interest Benifa.

I am not sure if I understand if they are are described in the article.

I am a non EEA Residence Permit Holder.My Spouse is an EEA.

The applicant in question is my sister.

Hope this helps.

I was wandering is collecting and presenting receipts from Western Union to prove financial assistance will be the best way of proving financial dependency.?

I will appreciate some input.

Thanks.

Well u have to be fair, why move to EU presumably due to a serious relationship an then drag all ur family here? :lol: Not wrong with getting my only dependent sister to join us and continue her studies on a course no university in my home country offers post graduate courses. etc. We live a free w...
