Has it recently changed? https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-a-uk-residence-card/replace "You can apply for a new residence card or permanent residence card if the passport containing your old residence card has expired - you can’t transfer it to a new passport.

Hi all, I am a non-EEA national married to a Spanish passport holder with a European ID card. I have entered the UK on a 6 month EEA Family Permit. I have sent the application off for the 5 year Residence card. As per the application I had to send my passport and my spouse's passport for the applic...
I have received my COA and hr officer is saying that there is a risk they could hire me and the Residence Card would be rejected. So although I have the right to work in the UK currently, there is a chance I might have to leave the UK as the home office can still reject my application. This is gett...

This has got me thinking. Does the vigenette not go in the passport? So, if a request is made for the passport before the application is decided does this not make it void as they can't stick the vigenette in the passport?
There is https://www.gov.uk/visa-documents-returned But I am not sure if requesting the passport back results in the pending visa application to become void. Does anyone know? Is it too much of a risk to request the document back? Will it jeopardise the pending application? I have a pending applicat...
So, what do you think is the best route for trying to prove I have the right to work in the UK while the Residence Card is being processed and I am without my passport?
Does anyone have a sample of what a CoA letter looks like they can send me with thier application number, names hidden? Would be great to see the form of the letter so I can use as a guide to hr.
This forum is great, I also just noticed i am "on thin ice" , CR001, what did I do ? hehehehehhe

Hi all, I have entered the UK on a family permit. I am a Non-EEA national married to an EEA husband who already obtained UK permanent residency My application: Single application Application sent by post: 03/01/18 Payment taken: 05/01/18 Confirmation email: 08/01/18 Biometric letter dated: 09/01/18 ...
As a married partner of an eea national, I don't need the residence card to actually be able to reside in the UK. My understanding is that all this does is help me gain employment by evidencing my right to be allowed to work in the uK. Effectively, being married to an EEA national and being able to ...
You're also confusing obtaining a British passport with British citizenship. They are two separate processes; the granting of BC followed by an application for a British passport. Once your wife becomes a British citizen, she can no longer sponsor you under the EEA route to settlement (PR)) whether...
This is starting to feel like de ja vu as I am sure most of this was covered in your extremely long 'confusedandsad' username topic a few months ago. I still don't understand the above? Are you saying if my wife become a british citizen then I apply for a UK spouse visa if I am in the uk for 3 year...
there is no point in me getting my wife to get her british passport and then me applying under UK route as I will have to still wait 5 years before I can get PR
Well, no point in dropping thousands of pounds then - ill stick to the cheap eea route
So the 3 years is mute then no? how can someone apply for citzenship after 3 years if they need PR, which means they need to have lived in the uk for 5 years.
When could someone every actually meet the three year requirement?
Am I missing something or is this the most illogical thing every created?
3 years residence is applicable to apply for citizenship (3 years residence as spouse of BC) but to qualify for citizenship you need PR/ILR which is 5 years residence in a qualifying category. I still don't understand the above? Are you saying if my wife become a british citizen then I apply for a U...
