The form is filled in properly. It just has marks. Yes, some of the fields with "?" are left blank because they turned out to be irrelevant. But some are not. For example, 1st point of entry I put London / Gatwick and then "?" mark as I was not sure if I was supposed to put there only "London" or o...

Absolutely not.

I'm still not sure if I am re-applying for the RC, because it would be difficult to get my passport back by my travel in April, although I have started to arrange to obtain the marriage certificate for that. It takes sometime, because I need to get the registration certificate in my country at firs...

i think section 4 belongs to retained rights :idea: :idea: . But does directive 2004 has any criteria that the EU national when leaving need to have/demonstrate the reason of absence since the reasons/mind can be changed any time for absence. How about if EU national leaves UK for 6 months intentio...

Thank you, Jambo! Just one more thing, if you know, please. I am still due to go back to drop the referee page with the NCS service.When I originally filled in the application form I did it as a draft as I thought I would fill it in properly after clarifying some points and drop it later together w...

Which would the application tricky as she would have incentive to overstay her visa (at least in the eyes of the immigration officer). Tricky is preferable to getting nailed for deliberate deception. If the wife is able to show a strong incentive to return, albeit temporarily to her home country, b...

I agree. But as the form only asks for your activities in the UK, in practice the OP would be fine. The additional question arises: What will the non-EU family member present as a form of ID for their EU spouse? Photocopies do not seem to be accepted. also, just looked at the EEA4 forms and geez th...

I do not think that a photocopy of a RC will be accepted if you wish to travel alone in April. If you haven't already, perhaps include a cover letter with your re-application mentioning your booked trip and discretion from the UKBA in speedily issuing you another RC in time. Important: Did you repor...

As you say that your husband now possesses a document confirming his acquisition of PR, how he exercises his treaty rights is no longer of concern to the UKBA. They would have assessed this before issuing him with a PR doc. and will have his record on their system. Just provide the PR doc, tick (if ...

One more question. Is she need tell to embassy that she is going to visit me as a husband or she needs to tell them that she is going as tourist.

She needs to tell the truth.

A further question, what qualifies as leaving the uk permanently? If my uk spouse were to leave the uk with me for six months out of the year, would I, the non eu eea2 permit holder still qualify for permanent residence after five years? I would think logically that if say an EU national were to ta...

hello forum members i am non EU living in UK on ILR, i got married to my Swiss fiancee in Switzerland 3 weeks back and i have received my marriage certificate today. now i want to quit my job, leave the UK and relocate to Switzerland to live with my wife., You do realise that you will lose your ILR...

My husband and I have been discussing this since the Swiss people had their say. I hail their take on direct Democracy as opposed to the farcical versions employed in most parts of the globe. My husband voted 'no' in this case, not because he is "left wing" but because unfortunately this popular ini...

Sounds slow even for a pre-Xmas application. Maybe worth checking with the countersignatory. Sometimes they try to contact them which slows the process. I'm returning to say that the situation was exactly as you deduced. My husband's counter-signatory told him today that they received a reminder le...

Thks Plum70 yea we are still living together but biggest prob is he has not continuously exercised treaty rights, reason i re-applied for a residence card. I've tried reaching out to him so we can move on but he's not interested its depressing that's why am wondering in the event that we divorce wh...

Thanks plum70 for your kind words not sure i can apply for PR on my own without him, but like you've said that would ease the anxiety . There was an incident 4 moths ago that forced me to call the police so since then we haven't talked, despite me trying to reach out, thats what's really difficult,...

She can register her presence with the Swiss Consulate in London if she wishes. It is not mandatory but beneficial if she plans on living in the UK for a period and requires consular assistance in that time.

Other than that, she is free to meander throughout the island as she wishes!

Are you able to apply for PR confirmation for yourself if you qualify? Getting your status confirmed will be reassuring and may bring some relief to any anxiety you may be experiencing. If possible, also try to re-engage with your spouse again and see if you both can dialogue and agree on a construc...

She is entitled to use NHS. I don't think clinics ask for a passport when registering but that might differ from clinic to clinic. Several years back when my husband and I wanted to register at our local GP surgery they asked to see our passports and proof of address. Not to say that this is standa...

Cheers Jambo. I thought so too.

Hi All, I'm enquiring on behalf of my husband who is too "laid back" to bother! He applied for his 1st British passport on 23rd December by SD post. He did check and it was delivered to HM Passport Office plus they also debited the fee. However since then there hasn't been a squeak, no text confirma...

You say that you're currently working, so this will be your proof of exercising treaty rights. A FP can only be applied for outside the UK You only need to show that your economic activity is gainful. I am not aware of an un/official threshold. A RC application from the UK is straightforward provide...

Have you posed your question to the NL embassy? Surely they'll be the best placed to confirm what documents they are able to accept for a Schengen visa application.

I think Fysicus' intention was not to encourage the use of deception or lies but to reassure you that there will/should not be any issues re-entering the UK in any capacity - especially as you both have rights of residence - such that it is irrelevant what reasons you present to the IO at the border.

Checkpoint Charlie is worth visiting, but it's not a bar/dinner.

I see Vinny beat me to it! Check your private messages.

Look forward to reading how you fared at the border.
