Hi, In the case of EEA2 applications, the long COA (right to work) is only issued upon the case worker being satisfied with all conditions - identity, relationship, qualified status. Then in that case 1) Isn't it the case that a long COA means that the application will be approved since all tests a...

Hi. I’m a non EEA wife of a British citizen who lived in EU country hence I was able to move to UK. You may be a wife or husband of EU citizen and not British but we are both on the same boat here. Yes family permit and residence permit is not mandatory as you have the right but this papers can mak...

@Amoniman, where do you come from? Either your wife travels to your home country and back to the U.K. with you, or you have to apply for a Family permit. It is you who wants to live here, not the UK Government. It is your job to make it happen. The UK government doesn't owe you anything. As to the ...

I gained all my rights as direct family member under EEA Regulation before applying for RC ( witch was not mandatory for me as direct family member in the first place ). Read secrets.simon's comment above . You were under UK Immigration law ( point system ), so how many year you were resident in UK...

There is no difference between a person who has documentation issued under the EEA Regulations and a person who is applying for the first time. A Residence Card only certifies your status on the date of application. If you lose your Residence Card abroad or did not carry it with you, you will need ...

No one from Home Office could tell me if I could reapply for Family permit because I`m already UK resident and currently in process of application for Residence card ( all of my documents are at Home Office, my wife's passport as well). I asked if I apply for FP would it be granted in less then 15 ...

all of my documents are at Home Office, my wife's passport as well I don't get it. How were you able to go to your home country, then? I asked my passport back, because I knew I might need i for family emergency. Did you keep, by any chance, the letter they sent you with your passport? It should sa...

I see some similarities but also crucial differences between our two cases. You are looking at this from the wrong perspective. Our cases don't need to be exact to be useful. There are differences, but they are not crucial. Bottom line is, I was locked out of the country, with the right to live in ...

And if you are in Paris, take the Eurostar. That way, you can deal directly with the Border Force, rather than airline staff. Airlines need either a Family Permit or a Residence Card or some form of documentation. If you lose your Residence Card, the appropriate procedure is to apply for a Family P...

What would be procedure if I lost my Residence Card abroad, how would I enter UK then ? Applying for a Family Permit to gain re-entry to the UK. This is the recommended procedure by the HO, for example, whenever an (Extended) Family member requests their documents back, e.g. passport, to travel abr...

The fastest and easiest method of return is to bring your wife back to Paris, with evidence of marriage and return together. I was with my wife in Paris, and with tones of documentation ( marriage certificate, my Certificate of Application, email from Home Office that we had interview with them nex...

Airlines pay fines if something goes wrong. They are not border officers. I meant I know that they pay penalties if they board someone with out proper documentation, but I have presented enough evidence that I`m legal resident in UK just without Residence card, as it is not mandatory as UK gov said...

Airlines pay fines if something goes wrong. They are not border officers. I know that they gonna pay, I`m not even thinking about that. My problem is that no one at Home Office knows how can I enter UK with out Residence Card, witch they said is not mandatory for direct family members. What would b...

Tanks for your reply.
I wasted 8 days in Paris arguing with Air France and explaining them what Free Movement Directive is.
Should have just gone to Gare Du Nord or even Calais but I have read somewhere that it is same procedure as in Airports and that UK officers are just on the other side

Hello all, If anybody could let me know how is possible to get back to UK with out Residence card ( Application in process )? I live and reside in UK as a direct family member ( Spouse ) of EU citizen since Nov. 2017. I had to travel urgently back to my home town for some family health situation and...
