Re: Getting EUSS family permit at Calais borders?

There is nothing stopping you from trying to go down this route and updating us on whether you were successful or not. But, as CR001 and alterhase58 have advised above, the probability of failure is very high. So, plan accordingly as to what you would do if the parents are refused the family permit....

Re: Super Priority on SET(O) ILR on the basis of Private Life

I could be very wrong (and only based on observations on these forums), but, to the best of my knowledge, I do not think that priority/super-priority appointments are available for ILR based on any of the Long Residence routes. They are available for the five year spousal and former PBS routes (whic...

Re: India travel after UK citizenship

As this is related to Indian law on entering and leaving India, not UK law, moving to the Other Countries forum. I believe that India has physical immigration checks on both entering and exiting that country and you may well run afoul of one of the two. It may be better to apply for and get a Britis...

Re: Query About Proof of Application Document in UKVCAS

You need to scan all the pages of all the passports covering the five year period preceding the date of application.

Assuming that you are not either an EEA citizen or otherwise on the EUSS scheme, that will prove your absences for that period of time.

Re: Husband British Passport & Wife Indian, France Visa

Post Brexit, your non-EEA wife has no automatic right to enter the EU, even if accompanied by the British spouse (you).

She will need the visa to board the flight or ferry.

It is possible that BA may not even allow her to board the flight.

Re: Travel abroad query

Do you have Settled Status or Pre-Settled Status under the EU Settled Status scheme?

The specific nature of the status held under that Scheme can be quite important.

There isn't a single "residency" requirement, but multiple interlocking requirements.

Till July 2022, that was a mandatory requirement t...

Re: Claim based on mother British by marriage before 1949

It seems rather sneaky to claim the citizenship of a mother who was only British because of her marriage to a man who was only British because his parents were born in Scotland, but apparently it is allowed, for the time being. To me it appears absurd that a wife of a British citizen by descent cou...

Children are not naturalised, but registered as British citizens.

Re: Are children of British citizens exempt from IHS surcharge

If the children were born after the parent was naturalised, they are British citizens by descent and hence free from IHS (and of course the need to apply for a visa).

If the children were born before the parent was naturalised, they need a visa AND need to pay the IHS.

Re: Surinder Singh possible?

In much of western Europe, all residents would have been required to register with the local government authority that they are resident at a particular location. Was your mother not registered with the local government authority in Greece? If she was, an appropriate document from them would suffice.
