Thanks bwumni. I'm sure it will get sorted eventually. Just seems everything is disjointed. Like getting the newer card. She got the FM card just last December valid till June but to upgrade we had to reapply and jump through hoops again with biometrics (at rip off cost when under EEA regs its all s...
the same problem for my partner. She got her card as family member of EEA citizen but only valid to 30 June. Prove immigration status and right to work both worked and we got the share code ok. But she changed to pre-settled card, got it through the post monday but now check right to work gets code ...
returned to UK 5/12/2019 I'm English(European) my durable partner non EU used Surinder Singh having resided in Bulgaria, we both have BG longterm residence cards. We returned as visitors using McCarthy/Bangor rulings, a lot of people owe them a debt of gratitude so we thank them and may their God bl...
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/871192/family-member-of-british-citizen-v5.0ext.pdf from page 5 From 29 March 2019, applicants can be either a family member or an extended family member of a British citizen, this is in light of the Bang...
Thank you Obie. Back to the OP question, time is running out because of Brexit. Ideally you would go for Irish residence card then family permit to go to UK. But the Directive allows Ireland to take up to 6 months to issue and the family permit might take a while as your situation is not easy. I wou...
Not ECJ but UK appeal court.
NAT gives a link to UK.gov site on Surinder Singe which says its only for spouse or civil partner but this is a bit out of date because of the Banger case which is recognised in the settlement scheme info.
I don't think the advice so far has been quite right. The OP seems a similar situation to Christie https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2018/2378.html Where the non eu was in a country with unmarried eu partner but not on an article 10 or 20 card. Granted life would be easer for the OP if they s...
I have been on Surinder Singe route with my filipino unmarried partner and we took a gamble to return to UK Dec 10. Was held back at Gatwick but finally allowed through. She has previous black mark so expected it. So next stage is to apply for pre settled status. So I phoned to ask for the paper app...
I would say apply for fiancé visa. Your partner will not be allowed to work till after you marry. But the evidence will be easier, you can prove a relationship for a period of time. That you have met face to face, with photos together. Maybe that you face persecution in your home country would be an...
Diatta came to mind as I read this. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A61983CJ0267 But then the OP says residence ran out a year ago, so I'm not sure unless an application was submitted before it expired. Otherwise the OP could be on thin ice by being an illegal. I'm just gue...
Ouch, looks to me like the only proof you have is that your EU citizen partner was insured and not you. I'm not really qualified to help but just giving an opinion, hope a guru comes along to help you. At a guess I would say you are going to have to reapply and start the 5 years all over. But then w...
All three of the above answers have some merit depending on the situation. CR001 says did you change terminals, if you did you would have to go trough immigration and enter German territory so would need a visa to enter. If you got off the plane and stayed in the same terminals transit lounge to get...
Not enough information. What nationality are you and partner. Which of you is the sponsor? Maybe a guru will be along soon to give you a better answer, but I would say in this paperless age an email and evidence of payment should be enough. Thinking logically if your evidence was refused and you app...
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/630926/60429_HC_290_Accessible.pdf 21A(1). Where paragraph GEN.3.1.(1) of Appendix FM applies, the decision-maker is required to take into account the sources of income, financial support or funds specified in sub-paragraph (2...
Almost right Dapto10. In Bulgaria we are supposed to register at the local police office within 7 days, but a lot of municipalities are phasing it out many people just ignore it. It's so easy to get a longterm residence card within a week so to register with the police seems redundant. Nothing again...
It's just a poll, they can be notoriously unreliable and like statistics even manipulated. Take the number of EU citizens in the UK for instance, the number here at a given time can seem high, but what time of year was the data gathered. A lot of eastern Europeans come over during the crop harvest t...
Ha ha the wording changes as I sit here, it was indicating the door would slam shut on the specified date but now it's changed to EU migrants will have to "register" until the deal is finalised.
That may well be what the UK government want softy, but nothing has been agreed by the EU. We have seen lots of this will happen or that will happen only for the EU to say nope you can't do that.
If that's the date then it's good for me and my plans but nothing is written in stone yet.
I've been following the posts of the good members of this forum in the sticky thread and would like to thank them for the work they have been doing regarding Sala and the recent updates on Banger. Didn't want to add unrelated clutter to the sticky so thought I had better post here on the related thr...
Its a pity the MIR has not be challenged on behalf of pensioners. There is no way someone on just a state pension can meet the requirement. The level at which such a person no longer qualifies for state benefits is not relevant to a pensioner.
Sorry mods it wasn't intended to advertise. This list from an embassy website, item 10 shows how it work but not quite as clearly. http://www.bulgarianembassy-london.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=96&Itemid=164 It could work for Brit pensioners too after Brexit, you could ...
Something that might interest couples of pension age if your non EU partner gets a pension. Bulgaria allows non EU citizens who have a certified pension to emigrate there and buy property. As long as the pension is higher than the average monthly income, which is roughly £500 they will issue a long ...
