smuru, Member states are required to adopt any EU Directive in whatever way they see fit. Member states can choose how exactly they would like to implement a ¨x¨ directive. Laws on the other hand are definitive. EU, for instance, regulates environmental law, but criminal law is regulated individual...

Marriage certificate etc. It doesn't matter if its difficult for them or that the UKBA have put the burden on them. That is what Article 25(1) demands. It is up to the government to set the system up in compliance with the directive. For example, documents could be checked at a police station on be...

Family members should be able to work immediately. They should not have to wait ...and they can. There is no law that says they can't. Those who do not require leave to enter or remain in the UK and thus are excluded from the legislation. I understand that persuading an employer might be an issue o...

They can apply for the RC as soon as they want (Eind cases can) or, practically speaking, as soon as they have "sufficient" evidence. The EEA nationals would be exercising treaty rights also if it is just the non-EEA national working except for the separate CSI (although that's more of a HO created...

And as said before, the root of the problem is the slowness of UKBA in dealing with EEA applications . Exactly. Although that is important it is not the root of the problem. Family members should be able to work immediately. They should not have to wait. Even if COA's were issued immediately they m...

In that case, the employer called the HO for advice and was told that they can't confirm her right to work and that the employer would have no a statutory excuse against civil penalty for employing an illegal migrant worker. With such advice from the HO, no surprise she was fired. But the employer ...

The fact that the UK has placed the responsibility for policing,under threat of fine, permission to work onto employers is not an excuse for not respecting Article 25(1). The UK choose to adopt this policy. Are some of you suggesting that Article 25(1) should be rescinded? or we should just ignore i...

Yes, with a passport and marriage certificate. It may cause uncertainty for employers but it is what Article 25 specifically allows. I did somewhat overstate things. It is true that non-visa nationals entering as EEA family members should get a code 1A stamp but that does not happen consistently and...

EEA2 application while on tourist visa

Hi, I have a few questions regarding an EEA2 application. I am Irish, working in the UK and my fiancée is Japanese, living in Japan. She is coming to the UK in April as a tourist. 10 days later, we will get married in Ireland. The plan is then to return to the UK (on April 24), where she will apply ...
