You only need the health insurance if you are self sufficient or a student. If you intend to work, you don't need the health insurance. If you do need insurance because you are not going to work, you should tell the insurer that you need the policy for an immigration requirement because you can't us...
Hi all, Seeking an advice please. I got married to my wife who happen to be British but hold dual Nationality as Mother is from Ireland. So we got married in may but we have been in relationship for more than two years as we have our baby who is going to be 5months in few weeks time. I used to resi...
It doesn't matter what work you do, just so long as you are employed, and get paid for it. I think you are winding yourself up unecessarily with regard to the "EN and AN" and the "McCarthy" case law, as neither apply to your situation. A factor in both cases was that the Irish/British National had n...
Furthermore, you have stated that your husband has a hernia. I know nothing of hernias, but if he is not at death's door, could he not work for a period of time when he arrives, in order to exercise treaty rights so you can obtain your RC without any dramas? That's all that he needs to do and your w...
I think you've missed my point. It doesn't matter that I entered the country under the Singh ruling. When I applied for my RC, I applied as a family member of an EEA National, as will you. Your Irish husband will be treated as any other EEA National. My husband does not have dual citizenship, he is ...
Thanks very much for your advice. I appreciate it. Just a few more question. What address should I use to write to the caseworker? I have her name, and the slip with the case reference no. So you think I shold just reply to Liverpool office with the a copy of the slip stating the team & case refere...
Your son is not eligible for any benefits, as he is 6, but a parent can claim a Child Benefit. It is a small amount though, some £20 per week. Tax credits are for workers. Once you or your husband start working you should apply for tax credits (working and child). I would suggest you read all you c...
1. Yes. The sole purpose of an EEA FP is so that a family member can accompany an EEA National who wishes to exercise treaty rights in the UK. (You have stated that your husband wishes to come to the UK for an operation and to claim benefits). No. EEA FP is also for people who are self sufficient (...
If you enter the UK under EEA regulations, then UK immigration law will not apply to you. The HO have no qualms about splitting up families without the right to be in the UK. You and your son won't be entitled to claim benefits, unless you intend to claim DLA for your son, but you have stated that h...
I don't know why it took them 4 hours to decide to let me in. Eventually they gave me a letter stating that I could stay in the country for 2 weeks. They needed to refer my case higher, because they did not think that my husband had been exercising treaty rights, and they did not think the surinder ...
by the way, when you applied for your RC, did you just submit your marriage certificate and your husband's employment proof (payslips/employment contract)? did you have any troubles getting the RC? and why were you refused for FP? yeah I know.. I guess they will always have the power to question wh...
The point is that when does the questioning stop? We have been living together for 2.5 years, married for 1, had just got back from venice after celebrating my birthday there and I have to come back to be england and be interrogated, even though I am in possession of an RC. I've already proven my en...
when you came to the UK, you were already married, right? while they detained you did they interview you and your husband separately to test if your marriage was genuine!? I don't know if they do this kind of thing at the border. Just want to be prepared what kind of questions they may ask.... Than...
babie_meg - they want your passport to put your RC in it. They do not need your husband's passport because they don't put anything in it. They just need it when you lodge the application as proof that he is an EEA national and that your application is not false or fraudulent I suspect. Seems like th...
hello guys, i am new on this forum and i really enjoy it alot. I got a question and i believe someone will give me an answer to it. This is my history: I applied for eea1 and 2 on May 24th and was received at HO on the 25th. I applied as a self employed but my partner is not working due to his 6 mo...
Hi babie_meg I've never been refused entry to the UK. When I was living in Spain I applied twice for an EEA FP and was refused both times. I came to England anyway and that's when I was held at the border for 4 hours. The senior IO who interviewed me was a complete arsehole and didn't know anything ...
@ ChIrl - Personally, I think it makes more sense to delay making the application until your wife returns from holiday, than potentially not going on holiday at all if the HO doesn't return her passport in time. By all means apply now if you are willing to take the risk, but no one on this forum (no...
I'm Australian, met and lived with my British boyfriend for 20 months in Spain, flew to Vegas and got married (i would suggest this rather than NYC for the fun factor!). No need to get an apostille, it's not required. Just get the original marriage certificate from the county court house. Once you a...
Folks, I am an EU citizen and my wife is non-EU. We both lived in Ireland for more than 5 years and have one child born in Ieland. I moved to UK two weeks back to take up a permanent job. My wife has 6 months family permit issued in Dublin with a condition "to accompany xxxx", which is expiring in ...
I came to the UK in July 2009 by ferry from Spain. I also am a non visa national. I was held at the border for 4 hours whilst being questioned, but I had not previously been issued with an FP, whereas you have been. I'm sure you will get back in as you know your rights and can prove that you are a ...
