Exactly that. Only once I was asked about my RC. They immigration officer asked if it was in my old passport. I said yes and then gave it back to him. He looked at it, scanned it and gave both passports back to me. On the other occasions i decided i’d only give them my old passport if asked. No one ...

I was asked only once by airline crew, just before boarding, and I told them that i did not require any document to travel to the UK as I was married to EU citizen and living jn the UK. Lady started arguing and I told her she didn’t know the law. When arrived to the UK, I was told not to queue in No...

Do I submit only my husband's documents? Or only his PR card?

Transition period ends in 2021, so I am assuming we're all fine until then. However, I do believe that it all depends on immigration officer's mood.

I am Non EU married to EU. I traveled to Europe with expired Residence Card (expired in February 2018). I had no problems at whatsoever on the UK border. I gave only my current passport that had no Residence Card in it. No one asked me to see my Residence Card. However, I was questioned in one of Ba...

Hello everyone. Please can someone shed some light in regards to what documents to send for my PR. I am non EU citizen married to EU citizen in October 2012. I got my Residence Card in February 2013. My husband had his Permanent Residence confirmed last year. He acquired his Permanent residence in N...

Hello everyone I was hoping someone can help me clarify under what law and when would i be eligible to apply for PR. Below is brief history of my visas here: 1/06/07 arrived to the Uk on aupair visa April 2009 changed to student visa November 2011 student visa extented until 2014 (PBS) 3rd October 2...

The criteria for PR under EU rules are that you have been in the UK for five years as the dependant partner of an EU national who has been exercising unbroken treaty rights or has, himself, acquired PR. Nothing in your post sufficiently indicates you might qualify in these circumstances. Does this ...

Good morning all EEA2 applicant. Any good news today? Hi,, I've been trying to call the number I gave UKBA for my EEA empolyer but they never ansered these days... Hoever they used to anser before!!! I am shitting my self no UKBA tried to call employer and no anser and they ill refuse my applicatio...

I Liverpool address on UKBA website, I only found it here. Lievrpool address is for EEA nationals and their members, other one is general miggration i guess.

Pakistan is on top with 32960,India is on second with 24421 and united states on third with 13610. yes, that's why im not surprised why they take time to decide on applications fom these nationals. I know it is not fair to all those genuine couples and is nerv wrecking, but from on the other hand m...

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/1 ... 9.doc.html

found it on whatdotheyknow.com they showed the figures for 2008-2012 period

do you guys think that nationality of non-EEA has something to do with application processing times?? I had a look at statistics showing numer of people who had settled in the UK on spouse visa from my country in past four years did not exceed 150, where as from some countries in the same period mor...

That's incredible. Congratulations. If I may ask, since you requested your passports back, did you end up getting your RC on an A4 paper? Also, did you bug them initially for a COA as well, or just later on using the reference number stated on the COA to get your passports back? I received my RC st...

Just some quick questions: -What did you put for "Home office (HO) reference or fee reference* – Nationality only"? Where can we find this number? There is no such number on my COA. Does everyone have one or do they just want you to write your nationality? HO reference number was written on my CoA,...

congrats. can i ask you guys did you give them any reason for asking passports back or just say "i need it, send them back"? i'm planning to do the same in two weeks. waiting till last september. getting more annoyed every f. day. We filled in the RoD form and sent emailed it to Liverpool address. ...

I was student myself and the requirement was to attend lessons. UKBA asks for a letter from college/uni confirming your hours and progress.

Does anyone know if a part time (10 credits) open university course would count towards this?

You will only be considered as full time student if you attend lessons of minimum 16 hours per week.

I think that application proccessing times depend pretty much on the case worker, ot how much paperwork you send to support the application. If you send all documents requested, the case should be pretty much straight forward. Perhaps if the caseworkers were paid commission plus thei wages, they'd b...

I think you've answered your own question.... the thing is, once we have landed I do not want to show them my visa. I only want to show them my CoA. My visa is in my old passport. Reason for this is that last time I traveled on my own they put me in 20 min detention for such a stupid reason. They a...

If you can get to the border, you will be admitted with the CoA. The difficult part would be getting there. Boarding a flight without a proper visa (as you are a visa national) would be difficult. Taking the train/ferry should be possible. So if one lands at UK airport only with CoA, and EEA2 in pr...

I dont think it matters where you send the application from. We sent our from London. I think it mattes how lazy HO staff decides to be when the post arrives to their tables!
