When there was a need for workers, they were invited. If sufficient did not arrive, the invitation was extended to their immediate family, like spouses and children, to encourage more to come. The commitment was not an open-ended commitment to endless family migration. It was an open ended commitme...
I'm pretty sure if there was a referendum on just this topic most people would actually vote against it controlling immigration at the cost of dividing families is not acceptable to all. It entirely depends on the question you ask. If you ask whether families should be divided by immigration policy...
The rules as regards Adult Dependant Relatives have been created by a democratically elected government and passed by a democratically elected Parliament. It could be argued that it is the will of the British people that has created these rules (I am using Alexis Tsipiris's argument here). I assume...

Can you provide us with the links to the relevant rules or to other documentation (newspaper articles, etc) that detail the rules?

Unfortunately it turns out that this is not as straightforward as it seems. UKBA have put in laws to exclude british citizens from this. A FOI request for this has been raised but no response received so far details here https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ ... y_ruling_2
Yes I am a British national and was exercising Free Movement Rights in another EU Member State. I lived and worked there for nearly 5 months. Then I decided to apply for Family Permit for UK for my dependent (elderly and frail) mother. It was rejected for a host of reasons, starting with her previo...
Yes you are right but I don't intend to have my parents work here all I need is for them to be able to live here and claim citizenship in 6 years hopefully. I do intend to get some professional opinion however and will update when I've had more information.
I think there is some confusion once you enter the country you can reside in it and then claim citizenship after lawful residence of 5 years. Yes you might not be able to claim benefits but that's not the original intention. Many EEA nationals cannot claim benefits after 6 months without a job anyway.
Futher proof that this is a much more easier way can be seen here http://britcits.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/mccarthy-ruling.html The McCarthy ruling has been made part of the UK legislation since 6th April so no one with a valid EU Family of an EEA citizen permit can be denied entry to the UK or a sub...

"Centre of Life" is an UK law not an EU law, if you look into the ruling it is mentioned that you do not even have to work in the EU country to pass off as somebody who is exercising their EU rights. You only have to prove that you have enough funds in order to not be a burden on the state, also the...
I have created a new post here http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-ro ... 87072.html
Also posted the links to the relevant sections from the gov.uk website which state the rules around this, it seems way more straightforward than SSR and Centre of Life
Hi, This is a query I posted in another thread and it seems this might be a more appropriate place for it. As far as I understand currently there are two ways of getting your parents in the UK one is the SSR which has been widely discussed already but which requires you to meet the "Centre of Life" ...
I meant another route in the sense that if the parents do get the EU Family permit the "Centre of Life" rules are no longer valid. So you can live and work in the EU during the week and come back to live in UK on weekends as long as you are still eligible to get the EU Family of an EEA citizen permi...
I had a question on this topic as well so thought I would post it here. What happens if somebody does try to get the dependent parents visa which is refused and consequently the visit visa route is also closed, can they still use the surinder singh route to enter the UK? Also after the new ruling gi...
Just a query on the duration of stay as i am applying for my mother visa and in invitation letter stating for 3 months. If she gets a Visa for 180 days, can't she stay for whole six months at a stretch even though we stated 3 months in her application letter (Not application form) From personal exp...
I showed the council tax statement and the marriage certificate. Although just the council tax statement should do; I guess it is better to show both just to be safe.
The home office generally keeps documents that are addressed to them or to "to whomever this may concern". This generally includes documents from banks and accountants an other reference documents
I have more than 1600 which should be fine (800+533=1333)
I am showing my marriage certificate from india will that do as proof of marriage or do I need to show my tenancy agreement also which has both of our names
Hi, I am in the UK on HSMP visa along with my wife. Both of us are in full time employment here. I am going to apply for an extension of stay under TIER1 for me and my wife. I have bank statements that show that I have enough funds for both me and my wife but on the home office website it says this ...
Hi, My company has issued me payslips that are basically just computer print outs with the company stamp on it. Will this work for my Tier 1 extension (switching from HSMP) the guidance mentions that in cases the payslips are computer printouts they must be signed and stamped, but in my company no s...
Hi, I would be applying for my tier 1 extension in a few months. Due to certain circumstances I have had to take a part time job to boost my earnings and my points. My current employers are not aware of this. Is there a chance that the home office may put this question upto them about my part time j...
Hi, I have got a part time job to boost my income as an IT contractor. My accountant has advised me to go for the sole trader route. My query is regarding the self employed section in the TIER 1 guidelines. I am a contractor registered as self employed and working as a sole trader part time in addit...
