Her employment is irrelevant. She depends on you exercising treaty rights for 5 continuous years / holding PR/ILR. If you did so, then she has already PR and can apply now (as a spouse of BC) assuming she meets the requirements (including English language). She doesn't need to apply for PR Confirma...

I am trying to help a friend of mine, who asked me for help and I would appreciate your assistance. He is British Citizen, working and living in Council Studio flat, where he pays Rent and does not claim any benefits. His accommodation, is a Studio , consisting of 1 large room (where he sleeps in a ...

I suggest you take a good look at the Resident stamp of your sons..... and see what exactly is written..... because ... I say maybe somebody .... can take a close look! Good luck, whatever you do.... but you will take risks.... Thank you again Wiz, this is the document in question: http://imgur.com...

When I read this I fear the UK does not fully comply with EU rules. Registration certificates for EU citizens as well as residence cards for their dependent family members HAVE TO BE issued as separate documents (thus should NEVER be a mere stamp or sticker in a passport!). The main reason for this...

Thank you, do you think it's OK for my mother to travel with the children back to france? I guess the thing is, how does the border control agent knows I myself am in england or france? Can't they just say 'oh yeah we're coming to visit our dad' Cheers I suggest you take a good look at the Resident...

So imagine my joy when i discovered this 2004/38/EC thread. It sounds like the answer to my prayers, even though at no point border agents or consulate official informed me of its existence (where do you guys find your 'nice' border agents? I never met any). Questions: - i guess this means i can no...

You did quite some effort in making things clear. i remember the '80's from the last century when I was trying to get free visa for all EU member states my third country national wife wanted to visit together with me. In the end (after almost 2 years) the European Commission helped out. The followi...

No .... must have a visa.

If you are also British, then you are only British! UKBA’s new EEA regulations (The Immigration (European Economic Area) (Amendment) Regulations 2012) state that when an EEA national is also British, then the EEA free movement regulations do not apply to them: “EEA national” means a national of an ...

European Union Freedom of Movement Having read several posts on this board I understand most of them comeback to the same question! Can I take my partner to another EU state without the need to apply for a Visa? The member Jambo has created a post Q & A, where he is answering most of your common as...

Lots to study....... and may comeback later. Thank you for your help so far........ CR001: If she has already obtained PR automatically, which appears to be the case, then she can apply for naturalisation as spouse of BC as longs as she meets the requirements and passes the life in the uk test and m...

As your wife entered the UK under EU rules, she can apply for confirmation of PR after 5 years and once this is received, she can then apply for naturalisation as spouse of BC. So if Understand it correctly, we must wait till the 9 February 2014 when it will be 5 years from the day of when she was ...

As time goes on, it's getting harder to understand and make sure you fulfil all the right requirements to become a British Citizen. Here is our case and I would appreciate your advice: I am a Greek and British Citizen. I was Naturalised on the 30 December 1993 and soon after got my 1st British Passp...

Hunpack Thanks for your comments and yes I am determine not to let the EU countries of the hook and will complain in anyway possible. The Republic of Ireland.......is a pain in the backside.....but soon the EU Petition Department will get a decision and will force them to transpose the Directive int...

Could you please advice me the following regarding Rights and Responsibilities for: Family members who are not EEA or Swiss nationals The Family member arrived in the UK legally, under the EU Directive 2004/38/EU, applied and was issued by the UKBA RESIDENCE DOCUMENTATION (Resident Card) valid for 5...
