Hi people, I am wondering what happens when the UKBA looses important documents like passports and marriage certificates etc: An application for PR was made in January 2013 and the applicant did not get any decision, when she called the office she was told that the UKBA will call her. She indeed got...
Can I ask why he did not apply for naturalisation after 5 years of continuous residence in Ireland? Good question, It was an oversight on his part and hope it would be a lesson for others. He was fixated on getting Permanent residence under EU application. Do you have any advise on the questions as...
Hi Folks, I have a question and I will appreciate if experts and members can help out. It is quite complex but I try my best to explain it in a simple way. My friend, a Pakistani has been married to his wife a British citizen for 8 years and they have 3 children together. They moved to Ireland in 20...

It has been my experience that UKBA doesn't reject the applications without original passports, but asks for your passport when they need it. Was this experience with Liverpool (EEA application) or Sheffield (BR application)? As far as I know, Liverpool would refuse to accept an application without...
Hi all, Subsequent to my last post, The applicant has since received a Certificate of Application acknowledging the receipt of his application for Residence Permit as the spouse of an EU national (Bear in mind that the application is based on Surinder rights as the spouse exercised Treaty rights in ...
Unfortunately, he sent the application today already. @ EUsmilie, he sent the EU national's original passport with the application. I guess if he might have to re-apply if the application is rejected
Hello Folks, I have a query on what happens if the Non-EU applicant for an EEA2 Residence Permit does not include his Passport in an application sent to the UKBA. The applicant needs his passport for an interview with the Jobcentre for a NI number application, he intends to send the passport 2 weeks...
Last time I renewed my Italian passport, they did get my index finger prints. My understanding is that this is a requirement for every passport applicant (over 12 y.o.) who is applying after the 28th June 2010. I understand Germany introduced this requirement the 1st November 2007, France the 16th ...
As long as there are no requirements for British nationals to have biometric identification, it will illegal to impose it on EU nationals and their family members. There may also be a cost element involved, as (for the same reason) they cannot charge anything for EEA applications. That's odd becaus...
1. No. 2. No. 3. Yes. Also the CoA (Certificate of Application) would state her right to work. This nowadays is issued 1-2 weeks after applying. 4. 2-3 weeks in most cases for the return of passports. Other documents are returned when a decision is made (up to 6 months). Many thanks for your reply ...
Hi All, Just a short background story A friend of mine is the Non-EU national spouse of a British citizen, they have been been married for 4 years ( they have 3 children together) and have been resident in Ireland since January 2012. She currently has a 5 year EU residence in Ireland and recently go...
I will advise that you immediately involve external bodies i.e. Solvit, possibly write a petition to the appropriate EU body or/and involve a lawyer to make representations on your behalf. I have noticed that all the correspondence has been with the staff the UK Border Agency- any further personal c...
Basically you just need to submit the same as you submitted for the EEA FP. You can do it the same day as you arrive in the UK (if you want). No need for you to be working for the RC. As usual, very informative and reliable post from you. Sorry to hijack the thread but when you say they can submit ...
You will have to give further details of why you were denied the visa because the reason you posted doesnt make sense at all. As the spouse of an EU citizen, you are not required to provide any evidence of employment if you are simply travelling to the UK together (Unless in relation to Surinder cas...
The bolded above is factually incorrect, the deadline for a decision to be made is exactly 6 months from application under article 10 of the Directive. If INIS will not tolerate people overstaying their visas or staying illegally in the country, they should also make sure they respect the Directive...
Argh ... really sorry for your friend :-s Sorry I don't have any good suggstion ... One thing though: they should have issued a temporary 6 month Stamp 4 once they acknoledged receiving the application (and actually the exact expiry date for that Stamp 4 is supposed to be their deadline to provide ...
What form your friend have submitted ? EU1 OR EU3 ? She is applying for a resident permit as the Non EU spouse of an EN National, I think that is the. Eu 2 if am not mistaken. For sure it is not EU2 - that one is for EU citizens to apply for permanent residence card (I actually don't understand the...
Hi Folks, What is the procedure of dealing with delay of INIS issuing residence permit for spouses of EU nationals? A friend of mine applied as the spouse of an EU national six months ago and the application period expired last week. She has sent a letter to them 3 weeks ago providing all the paysli...
Hi, When did your wife start working? The reason I ask is because you can apply for another EU residence card since your wife is currently exercising her treaty rights. If she is still working in that six month application period after you submit your application, you will get another 5 year permit....
He could indeed apply through immigration solicitor , cost vary solicitor to solicitor from 500e to 1500e.. good luck with application Thanks Robby, Just wondering, do INIS just communicate strictly with the lawyers? In essence, do the Lawyers act as middle men throughout the process or would they ...
Hi All, I am making enquiries on behalf of a friend, he is eligible to apply for naturalisation in Ireland having been resident in the country for the last 5 and a half years. He has worked all through and he is seeking to apply for Irish citizenship, I have told him it is cheaper to apply on his ow...
With a Residence Card - Yes. I thought my post was quite clear on that :? Sorry I didnt mean to sound obnoxious at all. I asked because I had a 5 year EU residence permit in Ireland and I was never been allowed to travel on the EU line when travelling alone. They insisted I must be with my spouse t...
any advice on what to expect when coming back in to the UK? Rain and miserable weather. You can use the EU line for passport control. No need to fill in a landing card and your passport should not get stamped. Very nice reply :D I am just a bit curious, can a non EU family member with a valid EU fa...
