None of the articles mentioned that Ireland wasn't included in the Treaty. It clearly does: (25) In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and ...

I dont know what more I can say really.

As Recital 25 and 26 states, UK when it was a member, Ireland or Denmark are not party to that Directive.

I see what you mean. What about the fact that I have permanent residence in Ireland? I spoke to a Portuguese immigration lawyer who said I can move to Portugal without a Visa under article 116. I went to Portugal in September without a Schengen Visa and the border police didn't have any problems. W...

Yes I read it, but that separate directive does not apply to UK, Ireland or Denmark, it applies mostly to schengen states, so it will not assist you or your wife. Had you been resident in a country like Netherlands for 5 years and now moving to Portugal, then it would have applied. Unfortunately the...

Well unfortunately your interpretation is not correct.
As a result of Brexit, freemovement ends, however those who remained in an EU state exercising treaty rights as at 31-12-2020 retain their rights as related to that state and not the 27.

Your wife does not retain her freemovement rights to move around the EU. She only retain it as regards to Ireland.

If you are moving to Portugal, she will need to apply for permission for you both, unless she applies for and qualify for Irish citizenship.

If there is no treaty rights, it will create problems.

For the benefits of those on this thread, the Home Office has started issuing EU settlement scheme permit to extended family members that are victims of this mess. Those who have pending litigation or pre action protocol proceedings, should continue until the Home Office makes a formal proposal to t...

Well the system is good, it gives people 2 bite of the cherry. I can understand your frustration as you are a successful applicant, so you want the matter resolved quickly. But if my client was refused permission to appeal to the FTt, and I know he or she has a strong meritorious case, i will want t...

The policy has changed several months ago, and there EU Residence card is valid until its expiry, provided you are registered under the EU settlement scheme, there is not even a need to exchange.

Hi, I am an Indian national with UK Permanent Resident with Indefinite Leave to Remain and am planning to visit Dublin on New Years Eve for a couple of days. Do I need to apply for a visa to travel to Ireland even if I have UK ILR? Of course you do need to apply for a visa. The UK dont own Ireland....

They are trying to buy time. It is disgusting what they are doing.

It is an abuse. Pure and simple.

No reasonable Secretary of State will behave in this way.

To the best of my knowledge, for your partner to qualify under the EU Settled Status Scheme, either the marriage needs to have taken place before 31st December 2020 OR the relationship needs to have been a durable relationship (a relationship akin to marriage, with shared bills and joint finances) ...

It will seem they are processing the most recent before the backlogged application made last year. So much for chronological, that they always talk about.

I am very happy for you guys, hopefully they will start processing the 2019 and 2020 applications soon.

When did you apply for her?
My view is to appeal, as the rules since June has changed to the extent that you will have significant difficulties succeeding in a future application.

God help British road users. This government is not only a threat to our economic wellbeing, they also threaten our physical wellbeing also.

EU 3: Application Applied via email: 1st Feb 2021 (Never received by INIS) Applied via Post: 4th Feb 2021 Application Received: 5th Feb 2021 Email Acknowledgement: 22nd Feb 2021 (after chasing them via email for acknowledgement) Postal Acknowledged: Never Received Approval: October 1st, 2021 Planne...

It will seem like the Home Office has made it her policy to appeal all Zambrano grant, and that is frankly ridiculous. I had 4 Zambrano allowed appeals, all very reasoned decisions with no basis for appeal. The Home Office appealed the 4th of them today. Utterly ridiculous and an abuse of power. The...

Well the part time job will suffice for your application, why wait till 2022?

What was your partner doing in the state before he commenced studying? was he in employment in the state?

That is consistent with the changes that are being made under the rules.

Littler's views are sound and appears correct. It matters not that she was on a different permission that was not supported by the British citizen.

So long as the relationship was durable before December 31 2020.

I will advise, like Littler that an application is lodged as soon as possible.

Implicitly or explicitly it must be targetting EU driver, as I cannot see a cross continental worker coming to the UK for a 3 months visa ending on the 24th December 2021. Cannot see drivers outside the EU being allowed to work in UK immediately with their foreign issued HGV. Well in the last 2 week...

The Government has announced a new 3 months visa scheme for EU national to come in. The scheme will end on the 24th December 2021. The government will also be setting up a task force to ensure that those EU nationals who do not depart by the 24th December will be rounded up and forcibly removed. HGV...
