Hi We had similar question recently in the company I work with: non-EU with work visa in an EU country but having to move to deliver work across the UE. The result was very predictable. There is no visa that allows to work in all EU countries. The right to work in EU is specific to EU citizenship ho...
You are wrong on this and we need not say much more on this matter. The dependent parent of the spouse of an EEA national, is a family member within regulation 7, subject of course to the existence of dependency. The OP can try and see what happens. Since Feb 1st, non-EEA nationals can't rely on th...
US citizen has lied to gain entry in the past and has been allowed in. What did he lie about?? Can you explain what your intention is about getting all this advice?? Do you intend raising a flag with HO or are you simply gathering information? He lied about who he was coming to see when sustaining ...
The mother in law is not a dependent parent. Under the EU Scheme, the EEA card is a must unless the person is dispensed from having it in first place. A family member of an EEA citizen (such as non-EEA wife) are not required to get an EEA card. As long as they live with and/or are depend of an EEA c...
British citizens are not submitted to immigration control. The Home Office wouldn't ask a British parent to show maintenance funds for British children for them to come to the UK. However, this family doesn't seem to have a sound plan especially for the US parent. There are no sanctuary cities in th...
Hello I am an EEA national and I fly to EEA nearly on weekly basis. Often my non-EEA wife comes with me when the destination is interesting for her. We had hard time is some places. Italy is very good usually. They see my passport, her EEA card and they connect the dots. Never, not once, have we bee...
She has to apply through the EEA route (EFM) first. As Extended Family Members have to show an EEA card before applying under the EU Settlement Scheme.
I have made a tier 4 visa application (online). I have yet to attend my appointment. I was wondering if intended date of arrival in UK will create a problem. I have mistakenly put it as: 5th December and my course start date is 13 Jan so it exceeds 1 month. All my documents are perfect and I am pan...
I have an EEA Extended Family Permit and I applied for a Residence Card. I just received a letter from Home Office about my application. It mentioned in the letter that I am not able to work for 6months while my Residence card application is still on process. But from what I understand, I can still...
Hello As an extended family member living abroad without an EEA card, your mother in law cannot use the EU Settlement Scheme. She needs to apply for an EEA Extended Family Member first. The Home Office will do its best to refuse the application as they never liked the idea of dependent relatives. Wh...
I think the only option for you is to tell the embassy you would like to travel independently from your EEA partner. It means different days, different destinations... etc. So they would have to consider your application for a visa. With some airlines, travelling with my non EEA wife, the same day, ...
Zerubbabel, many thanks for your reply and help! Strangely enough, just received a text and and emai lsaying application approved and passport will be printed and another text to follow when dispatched. Does it mean there is not going to be an interview now since it is approved? Or, it won't be sen...
Hello That's crazy! I am EEA and my wife non-EEA. All EU embassies we deal with, they say the same: you don't need a visa, but still you can apply for one as it gives you more flexibility. Please keep us updated. The problem will be with the airlines and also with some immigration officials when you...
Hello They are telling you the following: - With the Settlement Scheme card, you must have a visa to visit the EU However: - EEA routes are still open and despite the existence of the EU Settlement Scheme, you can still apply under an EEA route also. So even if you have anything under the EU Settlem...
Agreed. It's not technically a sponsor, but still it acts as such. I helped a girl from my family with that recently. So the steps are: - Find a school / course - Pay the course in full - Get a letter + proof of payment from them - Apply for the visa It's not a tier 4 or anything. It's a glorified v...
Hello 1 - Yes, you did exactly what you needed to do. You answered their email in time. Corrected the error and got a confirmation. So it's rolling. 2 - The Priority service works best when there are no errors / mistakes or other things that may complicate the application. Often the Home Office goes...
Hello This options always existed for them to ask the person to come to see them for a face to face interview. It has nothing to do with your British citizenship application as HMPO doesn't deal with that. They are mainly trying to make sure you are who you say you are. They want to make sure there ...
Hello Your friend has got an ILR. But what's his citizenship? I am guessing non-EEA and not-British. So he is non-EEA with an ILR in the UK. Please correct me if I am wrong. Bringing a partner or a spouse in the UK is not an absolute right. Your friend, even if he/she was British Citizen and married...
Hello Normally an EEA passport is enough proof that the person is indeed an EEA national. Did you provide an original and valid passport? About this: For this application, I don't have his original passport but a notarised one. Is there anything else needed to prove that he is an EEA national? Don't...
