EEA family permit is for 6 months. If I tell the UK border I am intending to apply for Residence Card is there a chance they may knock me back? https://www.gov.uk/uk-border-control/before-you-leave-for-the-uk "You must have a valid passport to enter the UK. It must be valid for the whole of your sta...
Hi everyone, My Passport expires in December 2018 Can I still apply for a 5 year residence permit given my passport is not valid for the whole 5 year term of the Residence Permit? Or should I first extend my passport beyond the proposed 5-year term then apply for Residence permit. I have been advise...
Someone told me that for all settlement visas supporting documents have to be sent to the Home Office's Sheffield address. Is it still ok to print the application and go to the application centre with the supporting documents? Or are you now required to post or scan them instead of physically handin...
The "EEA" tab is even more confusing The first set of questions I assume it is asking for the EEA national's details? It is confusing, because, for example the 1st question ask for 'family name/surname' then sais if YOU only have one name. Does that mean it means the applicant enters their details o...
Hi all, I am going through the online form - and its a bit confusing. Under the section "Employment, Income and Sponsor Details" It asks at the bottom for Sponsor Details. 1. Are you being sponsored by a person(s) 2. Are you being sponsored by a company or organisation? What does this mean? The guid...
I have just completed half my application after inputing all my history and now I can't log back in to change the application "An error occurred while processing your request This could have been caused by your session timing out. If you have been logged out, please login again." What is going on....
Under the Tier 2 visa you are only permitted to be absent from work without pay for up to 4 weeks. I had no annual leave accrued and had to take more than 4 weeks unpaid leave for the marriage. I needed minimum 3 months to sort out all the logistics I decided it was easier to resign. Hence the reaso...
I think it is a bit silly to buy the return just to give my application more weighting. I'd rather buy the single and buy the return once I have the permit but naturally i'd be happy to spend the extra cash on the return ticket if it gives me a stronger case.
Noted Richard. My fiancee has to leave on day 30 of the trip to NZ as she has to go back to work and she has already booked her return ticket. Would my application look stronger if I also booked a return ticket with the same date as my fiancee to show we intend to travel together? Ideally, I would p...
sorry to bump the thread but before I book my tickets your valuable feedback would be greatly appreciated. Your wife doesn't need both passport and national ID card in the UK. I really think 30 days is cutting it fine. Note that when you apply, you still may not have much evidence that your wife is...
18 months. I was just reading the EEA guidance. I own my own flat in Manchester and my Fiance will be ending her lease and moving in with me on date of our marriage. Policy outlines if cohabitation is proven the permit can't be declined on basis of marriage of convenience. My fiance will be moving i...
Hi all, We have decided to go down the EEA route due to it being cheaper than the UK route. This way I can also visit home while waiting for my EEA permit to process. Our plan will be: 1. Get married in UK. 2. We will have a 3-4 day honeymoon somewhere in the UK 3. I will return to NZ straight after...
