Knapps there appears to be distinction between your reply and that of Robby 1. In Robby 1, they told him to apply after the wife and him have been exercising treaty rights in the state for 5 years and in your case, they said after your 5 years they granted you in 2006 expires, which is totally wrong...
He should definitely follow it up. Article 5 of the directive states that such visa (EEA family Permit) should be processed as part of an accelerated process. The British say they acknowledge this. However they don't always seem to be showing that in practice. If he doesn't hear anything by the end ...
I think there is a clear distinction here, between Joint Fee for spouse or civil partner's applications, which is £850 and a Joint Application Fee , which is what you are purporting, which doesn't exist. You get a concession for applying at the same time as a spouse or civil partner living in the s...
You are forbidden from switching status if you enter under the youth mobility Scheme. She can use it to enter the UK for the duration of its 24 months validity, she can even enter into employment and get married. After your marriage,she can go back to Australia and apply for the Spousal visa. Please...
That would or should be a reasonable expectation. However i am unsure where the OP is applying from, and how efficient they are, but in Ireland, where i live, they have a 100% processing completion within 15 days for that category of Entry clearance. I have to be on the err of caution, and say it mi...
it is clear from the documents you have submitted with your application that you and your wife(the EEA national) intent to go to the UK for you (me) to undertake an internship for approx. 6 months. Your wife wife has shown no intention of exercising any treaty rights while in the UK, and this made ...
6 months before 5 years of treaty rights is correct, but it should not be 6 months prior to the expiry of the 5 years EUfam card. The clock start ticking from the day the EEA national on whom you are dependent came to Ireland with you to start exercising treaty right, or the day you became a family ...
Although , two wrongs don't make a right, and if punitive/retaliatory measures are imposed it is the innocent that stands to suffer the most and not the scaremongers in Westminster or Leinster House, i would have supported these countries, imposing similar restrictions on UK and Ireland's residents,...
Maybe, just maybe our friends in the UK and Ireland might see some sense and allow free travel for holders of EU Resident Card with or without EU partner. One can only hope. Although i personally think the possibility of that is near zero if not absolute zero. That is excellent 86ti, i have been try...
A friend of mine with UK Resident Card traveled to Sweden Visa free without his EEA partner. He even went to Norway from there. I also think Lithuanians allows visa free travel with or without the EEA family member, although i don't know anyone who has tried it yet. I think the Swedes are one of the...
Perhaps ILR might be appropriate, depending on circumstance. If impossible, then Discretionary Leave. What was your status in the UK, before your Leave expired? Was you case an asylum one, which falls under the old system, then ILR through (Legacy case) might be an option. All the best with your hea...
After you get married you can apply for 5 year residence card. The FMRS is only in cases where transitional periods apply. For a family member of a self employed person, you can apply straight for the 5 year residence card. You need to fill form BR5 Absolutely correct. I didn't realise that the EEA...
Firstly, you will need to apply for a COA, and because you are an overstayer, without at least 3 month left on your passport, you will need to provide evidence that you relationship has been subsisting. The processing takes about 3 months. If you are successful and able to obtain the COA, you will b...
I can say with almost certainty, that if the Spanish consulate in Bangkok, facilitate her entry, bearing in mind your relationship status, they will facilitate her residency in Spain as well. If you obtain a visa from a Schengen country like Sweden, which accepts application from cohabiting couples,...
I suspect Germany will accept a Schengen visa issued by another Member state. We have been told by the OP, that he intends to settle in Spain with his partner. I am yet to be convinced whether or not he will be able to convince the Spanish authority to process his partner's residency once she is in ...
You are not allowed to switch to the Spousal visa with your current leave.
As you current leave was due to you relationship to your previous partner, you continued stay in the UK for a considerable length of time when that relationship has subsided, could be considered as unlawful.
OP i could write what the respondent in the other forum wrote, which is perfectly right. However not all member states go by the book, they omit and insert rules, which are not on the original directive. I have gone through the extra length of getting information on how the Spanish carry out their p...
EEA permit doesn't take that long to process. It is given the utmost priority in comparison to other Entry clearance category. You probably mean 3-6 weeks to process. If they take longer than that, the matter should be reported to solvit as it is illegal under EU law. OP, you need to submit the marr...
Hi Op, Please read the transposed version of Directive 2004/38 into Spanish Law. That is if you understand Spanish of course. Article 3(2) family members don't have absolute rights, and member states are oblige to process their entry and residence in accordance with their national law. I understand ...

This Royal Decree also applies, any regardless of nationality, and as provided by this, the relatives of a citizen of another Member St...
Under EU law, the marriage certificate (Evidence of relationship) and the passport or ID card of EU national (Evidence of EU Citizenship) are the two most important documentation required for your permit to be processed. I suspect your application will not be accepted without your marriage certifica...
