Considering you have been living in Germany for just over two years you have more than enough to apply for the Family Permit under Regulation 9 (Singh). Would be gobsmacked if you were refused to be honest.

Yes you can apply for citizenship after 5 years if married to a British Citizen. We had this dilemma earlier this year. Decided to apply for PR first in the end as the BC application is so expensive. There is no need for the British Citizen to have been exercising treaty rights in the UK for PR - se...

Hi My husband has recently received PR as a "Singh" case We applied on 1 Feb 2015 using the old EEA4 form - we therefore just ticked the box to say already had both FP and 5 year RC already issued under Singh I know they are now asking for people to resubmit their "Singh" evidence again. Are you abo...

( 5 years) But I've being legally living in the UK for 10 years. 5 years as a student and 5 years as eea dependent no breach. Can I apply through ILR instead of EEA route?

When you say Family Reunion Visa for Belgium do you actually mean apply for an Article 10 Resident Card in Belgium for your mother? (Resident Card for the family member of an EU Citizen). When you say Family Visit Visa - do you mean that you are applying under EU Directive as your mother is your dep...

Well from what I have witnessed on other groups relating to the "Singh" route - the average time for a successful FP application is currently average of 5 months residence in the EU host state. This is after the "centre of life" test came in. Every case is supposed to be treated on its own merits - ...

Where are you getting the "work for one year" from? You don't have to work for a year in your EU host state. Currently UKVI expect you to move your centre of life to the EU host state and also expect status as a worker either employed or self employed. Note UKVI expect - "O" v Netherlands Case Law w...

I WANNA ASK does it effect on your PR application ? thanks No it won't affect your PR - for PR your EU Family Member has to have been exercising treaty rights for 5 years continuousl...

My husband received his PR today (its actually dated 18.5.15)

Applied on 1 February 2015 using old EEA4 form - Singh case

You are covered by Case Law EIND in this regard - as Rosebead says you have no need to work - your residence in the UK is all about your activity in your EU Host State

Residence card (biometric format) Successful applicants will receive a residence card (RC) in a new biometric format. The cards are similar in design to the biometric residence permit (BRP). They are the size of a credit card, and show a person’s personal information e.g. name, date of birth and nat...

Hi - My husband has re entered the UK with his RC a few time - he has been questioned once at Heathrow. They did try to telephone me but I was driving at the time. A Senior Border Guard was called and he was fine. I would advise to travel with your marriage certificate , in the unlikely event of you...

Ask for a reconsideration where? I wrote to the ECM in Dublin and didn't even receive any acknowledgment, even though I sent it by registered post, and have a signature of the receiving person. There are no email addresses or telephone numbers listed anywhere anymore, they have all been removed. I ...

gprit I think the main problem, especially for Brits, is the UK government interpret the Regulations whichever way they like. Then rely on the Appeal system taking so long to deal with cases. My own case is a point in question. My wife's visa was refused in January and it will be at the very earlie...

For this who do not know the UKBA website has now been archived and you now go here https://www.gov.uk/visas-immigration Now go to the EEA Family Permit page and note the deliberate omission https://www.gov.uk/family-permit In fact it is worse than just omitting Singh - it actually says that only Br...

Sebstewart, it just occurred to me, did your wife apply for the EEA Family Permit before 1 January 2014 or after? Interesting! We made two applications. The first one was made on December 2013 but my wife didn’t apply with this one because we didn’t declare I had savings (but evidence I was submitt...

I suspect the HO would scrutinise applications from Dublin. a) because the decision is made in the UK. Not by the diplomatic post. b) because Ireland is more common for a quick SS round. If possible, I would wait for 2 months so there stay is 6 months and reapply. Might be quicker than going via an...

Since early September 2013

They did have 5 years residence cards - this may have made a difference

It is important to appeal these refusals. That is the only way the UK changes will be rejected by a court. I agree and hopefully they are going to do just that - she is very stressed and upset at the moment - understandably. Quick question - given she is in Ireland - should they return to UK in any...

Thanks AngieD and dalebutt (for thinking of me). It helps to know the exact refusal reasons. I guess by the time the UK got it they put it under the new rules, which is wrong but other then that I don't think the application itself was very strong. I don't want to take over the thread but in short ...
