No worries, you are welcome :) Also, because the card is a permanent residence, it would be really a bad thing to lose it. Try to get some information there what are the conditions to keep it. Sometimes it's enough to go to the country once in a while to keep that card. Permanent residences are deli...

If there is a dependency, it doesn't cause any harm to include the documents showing that dependency. It can only strengthen the case. If the dependency doesn't exist, but the relative is close family member, the Scheme often works without showing that dependency. When that scheme started, it was a ...

So are we able to move in 2021 and still be eligible? Eligible people who started living in the before Dec 31, 2020 have until June 2021 to apply. But someone who came to the UK after Dec 31, 2020 won't be able to apply under the Scheme. Presumably it is going to be replaced with something else the...

even though she is not a US resident with Social Security Number? Usually embassies abroad don't renew passports for visitors. This has nothing to do with US authorities but with Nigerian embassies abroad. Actually all embassies are like that. When you reach out to them, they want to see a residenc...

This is how it works. Your wife needs to get a card in EEA country. That card has the words "residence card of a family member of a Union citizen". I don't know if in Hungary your wife would qualify for a permanent card or card valid for a specific time such as 5-year. If this is the first time she ...

How does she live with you in Budapest? She must have some sort of card.

Hello The British passport is one of the weakest in world when it comes to bring family back to the UK. Surinder Singh is a judgement about EEA regulations (search: R (Secretary of State for the Home Department) v Immigration Appeal Tribunal and Surinder Singh). It means that a British who lived in ...

Hi All, I just want to share the good news that my parents received settled status. I made 3 calls beforehand. It took almost 6 months. They received a card written indefinite leave to remain/settled status. I am an eu citizen (Son) and my parents got Asian pass. I used to take them to Holland unde...

Hello EU Settlement Scheme, as its name indicates, is not an immigration but a settlement scheme. Anyone related to an EEA national, no mater how remote is that relationship may qualify. For your brother, you may need to show some sort of dependency otherwise they could refuse the application. Howev...

Hello The Home Office are not your family or your friends. You should refrain from updating them in real time about the ups and downs of your relationship. Once you trigger a curtailment, it's a one way trip. I don't see them reversing it just because happened to change your mind after all. You prob...

Hello Yes you may get retained rights. The conditions are: - Minimum 3 years marriage before the start of the divorce proceedings Plus: - Minimum 1 year in the UK before the start of the divorce proceedings As it's yes for both counts, you should get the retained right. But keep all documents as you...

According to the settlement centre

Be careful with that call centre. You are not talking to the Home Office but to a external contracted centre and they have been known to mislead people.

You have to prove the parents are dependent on the EU sponsor. That's the basic requirement. Which, it sounds, they are not. The EU Settlement Scheme goes far beyond the EEA route. Initially, the intention was to safeguard the rights of EEA citizens and their family already present in the UK. But w...

Her current "Family member of an EEA national" Visa is valid for 3 more years. However, if I have understood correctly, this won't be valid anymore once I left the UK even if we would just stay married. Correct? Yes, I agree. Article 10 cards bearing the mention "Family Member of an EEA national" a...

Hello If the marriage lasted 3 years including minimum 1 year in the UK before the start of divorce proceedings, she will be able later to apply for Settled status (once she has 5 years in the UK). Otherwise, if the marriage didn't last that long, she won't qualify for retained rights of residence. ...

Hello

If you've been accused of an immigration breach but cleared later, then the Home Office recognised the error and even offered compensation, there is no reason they hold that accusation against you again later.

Hello I recommend amending your travel plans. The citizenship is not a travel document. Once your citizenship is approved, you need to go through the ceremony then only you will be able to apply for a British passport. I don't believe you would have a strong case to get your citizenship application ...

Congratulations!!!

You made it

So we have now someone getting the citizenship while being illegal for 2 years within the last 10. Good to know! I was really worried about the letter your received.

You are welcome
