Forgot to add that you can't 'overstay' a family permit. It's not a visa, and the expiration date of the FP doesn't mean the same thing. For a visa, it means that's when the visa is no longer valid and you have to reapply or be out of the country. For the FP, that date merely defines the 'window' du...
-is there any concern about re-entering the UK as a tourist since as an American I can enter for 6 months visa free (or will my time in the UK under the family permit count against that?) Never re-enter as a tourist because you're not one. That could end up causing you other problems. Present yours...
You're within your legal rights to travel outside the UK while your EEA application is pending. That warning is really only for people making applications under UK national immigration law (like your Tier 5 visa or ILR for instance). It doesn't apply to applications made under EEA law, which has an ...
Given that she probably had her initial EEA residency status in 2011, then she almost certainly also falls under the McCarthy Transitional Arrangement. If she is covered by the CTA, then even if you had acquired British citizenship before she had acquired PR it still would not have affected her.
When you get your approval letter at the end of the process (NOT the Certificate of Application, but the letter that tells you your PR is approved), it will specify the date the Home Office deems that you acquired PR. If, on the day you get your PR card in the post, the date in the letter was more t...
I was in the same situation with my children (aged 12 & 14 at the time). I enclosed a letter from their school saying they were enrolled there as students, which worked fine.
Say I apply to the EEA family permit and am declined, would I still be able to go the route of just booking a plane and going to the UK with my marriage certificate? Yes. People here have done exactly that. The FP is only recommended, not required. A previous refusal might flag up in their system, ...
I personally agree with Richard W. The main purpose of the Family Permit is to give Visa Nationals (those requiring visas to enter the UK) something to show the airline so that they'll be allowed on the plane to begin with. As a US citizen you're a Non-Visa National, so the airline won't care either...
Have you been on Benefits since getting PR ?? If not then obviously you dont need answer Be very careful using this advice, because that's not what the form says. The question it asks is: "16.1 Are you/is your sponsor claiming, or have you/has your sponsor claimed, since living in the UK , any of t...
Hello! My husband will be applying for his PR. I (EEA) already have DCPR. Do we still need to submit my P60's or payslips or will my DCPR be enough? If you already have a DCPR (and you send it in) then you don't have to provide anything else. The form EEA(PR) specifically says this, although no one...
She should be able to cover that gap by claiming self-sufficiency based on spouse's income. That is identified as a means of exercising treaty rights in some of the HO directives I've read. I don't recall if that requires the person to have health insurance or not, however.
Am I not an 'EEA permanent resident' as someone born in Britain (and who has always lived in Britain)? Is it the case that my wife could receive PR if instead she was married to a non-British EEA worker who had themselves been granted PR? Being British and resident in the UK generally means you can...
Yeah, they could really use a proof reader. You SHOULD only have to send in your DCPR for the exact reason you state -- you don't need to continue exercising treaty rights once you have PR. But at least one person on this forum got refused because, even though they sent in their sponsor's DCPR, they...
It doesn't matter what your wife did since she acquired PR in 2015. Having PR/DCPR means the person no longer has to exercise any treaty rights at all. On the form EEA(PR) it just asks the applicant to send in their sponsor's DCPR as proof. Naturalization - if she's now a British citizen then there'...
Strange -- the form EEA(FM) and its guidance notes are definitely worded differently from the form EEA(PR) and its guidance notes. Form EEA(PR) only requires the applicant to once again prove five years of treaty rights if not sending in the DCPR. But EEA(FM)'s tone is that if you have one, you have...
Mystery solved. I've been referring to the current EEA(PR) form. Somehow I got it in my head that your spouse was also applying for PR, not the RC. So yes, on the EEA(FM) form the two sections are exactly reversed, and sec.10 is the non-British EEA.
CR2018 - You're in a much different situation from J10M. Assuming the flag you used is your nationality, then as a Mexican citizen you're a non-visa national for UK immigration purposes, plus the spouse of an EEA citizen, therefore with more robust automatic rights. Scenario 1 - you still have a val...
Surely, you refer to section 10, since I am Irish, not UK citizen? Then, I take it, that logic you suggested, stands? Well now it's my turn to be confused. On the current EEA(PR) application (Mar 2016), section 9 is for non-British EEA citizens, while section 10 is for British citizens invoking the...
I was told way back by one of the Border Force officers to always use the EEA/UK queue if travelling on an EEA RC or PR card. According to him, the officers on the Other side tend to only work that side, and the ones on the EEA/UK side stick to those lanes. So if you come through the Other lane (whi...
The key to your questions is sections 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3 of the form EEA(PR). As the sponsor, if you have a DCPR and send in the original, then you don't have to prove five years of continuous treaty-related activity for section 9.4. If you don't send in the DCPR, then you have to complete 9.4 and pr...
So technically, I could send hr my marriage certificate to confirm if they are having any doubts? Technically, yes. But virtually zero chance any employer would take the risk of being fined just based on that. If your employer is being so risk-averse they won't even accept the COA, a valid HO docum...
1. As you've enrolled your biometrics you are now free to request all passports back via the link you posted above. Requesting return of passports will have no effect on you application. One of the perks of the EEA route versus the UK domestic immigration route. There's a question on the form that a...
