You can insist on not having it taken, but they will refuse to process your EEA family permit. You can report them, but before the complaints will come true, your time would have been wasted. If your are in country like in the UK, they know they cannot request fingerprint before processing a residen...

Here is the page. I thought our friends where up to something again, but it appears they are not. I haven't been able to find any upcoming legislation in that area.

City boy, if your wife has been paying NI contribution for the last 3 year, then she is fine, and would not need Private health insurance, even if the business is not successful. If you have evidence of this, just keep it safe, as it will help you in the long run. If they are trying to be hard, they...

The European medical insurance only covers temporary travel and resident in another member state. It will not cover you if your wife is permanently resident in the UK. It just ensures that people who are on temporary stay in another member state, don't have to cut short their stay, because of ill he...

The way i see things, you have two options; 1. Appeal against the ban, on the ground that your husband did not deliberately withhold information, rather it was an oversight, and an honest mistake. Point to the fact that , had he wanted to deliberately withhold information, he would not have submitte...

I agree with you Kesh, that requirement is quite controversial, and frankly speaking illegal.

It appears that OP and partner are in amicable terms, therefore that requirement will not be difficult to meet, compared to other cases

Correct. Under the rules, you only cease to be a family member once the Decree Absolute has been issued. So if you husband, decides to support your claim, and stay in the UK for the duration of your 5 year and provide evidence at the end of that period, of exercising treaty rights, excellent. The on...

[b] Naturalisation Rules [/b] wrote: 18.1.5 Under s.44(1), the Home Secretary is required to exercise his discretion without regard to the race, colour or religion of the applicant for naturalisation.

Therefore i don't think they will reject him on that basis.

7.7 Debt 7.7.1 Police enquiries, or other information, may suggest that an applicant is heavily in debt. Caseworkers should not use this as grounds for refusal if loan repayments have been made as agreed or if acceptable efforts are being made to pay off accumulated debts. But where an applicant de...

Kesh, OP hasn't mentioned any child, in any case, the husband would first need to apply for settlement, before any child born in the UK to them can be registered . Although if both child and husband obtain settlement status, wife will qualify. The point is, husband doesn't won't to support wife's ap...

The Home Office says you have to be in a subsisting relationship, therefore i don't think you will be allowed to stay much longer, if he reports that your relationship has broken down, even without a divorce. You can start working on the work permit, and see if you can go to you home country and app...

No you cannot, unfortunately. He needs to add you as a dependent on his ILR application. If you had been in the UK for 10 years, then you could have applied in you own rights under 10 years lawful residence rule. You really haven't got a foot to stand on. You need to try and patch things up. 319E. R...

Article 14 Retention of the right of residence 4. By way of derogation from paragraphs 1 and 2 and without prejudice to the provisions of Chapter VI, an expulsion measure may in no case be adopted against Union citizens or their family members if: (b) the Union citizens entered the territory of the...

Hi Hassan,

Please see frequently asked questions on Accommodation and Maintenance.

I am sure the offer of Job letter stating your possibly salary or wage, together with an undertaking from the accommodation provider will suffice.

By overseas, i meant abroad, outside UK, outside crown dependency territory/outside British overseas territory. I hope that make sense to you now. The 3 years i mentioned has nothing to do with naturalisation, as children under 18 cannot be naturalised. Although there are some categories of people, ...

For those applying on the basis of marriage to British national and have lived in the UK for 3 lawful years, are you supposed to supply the spouses passport or Birth Certificate, if the spouse was born in the UK will Birth Certificate suffice. If the relationship is going through a rough patch, but ...

Hello everybody. Unfortunately our EEA1/EEA2 application was refused, so I have to leave the UK soon. The letter from HO say: If you do not wish to appeal against this decision, you should make arrangements to leave the UK without delay . If you do not appeal and do not leave the UK we will remove ...

1.10 Checks that must be conducted before a residence card can be issued Prior to issuing a residence card a caseworker must be satisfied as to • The non-EEA national’s identity (see Section 1.7 and 1.11), • His/her relationship to the EEA national (see Section 1.8), • That the non-EEA nati...

You make perfect sense. Home Office does not make it a compulsory requirement for people to apply for Permanent Resident Card/ Certificate . Once someone meets the requirements, ie five years of resident with their EEA family member in the UK , having exercised EU treaty rights, then they automatica...

This is a requirement, if the non EEA family member and the EEA family member, did not apply for a Permanent Resident Certificate/Card, or are claiming to have started exercising treaty rights before the above mentioned certificates were issued. For Example, if you are claiming to have been in the U...

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience Sue. What documents do they usually ask for as proof, before accepting you as such. I did the finishing bit of my Primary School in the UK, the whole of my Secondary and started tertiary education, before coming over. Will that be enough proof that i have liv...

You qualify to apply now, provided you have passed the life in the UK test.

You clock start ticking from August 2003, when you got married to EEA national.

OP, you will need that for the entire period you are claiming she was Self-Sufficient. If they haven't asked for it, don't bother sending a prospective one, as that would then draw their attention to asking you for evidence of Private health insurance covering the time she was self sufficient. Some ...

(non) EU family members of Dutch citizens as described in the ‘Notes’ section You must submit the following additional documents and documentary evidence together with your application: – A copy of your residence document issued by another Member State or Switzerland, showing evidence of your...

It ask for proof of Lawful Resident in the member state from which they came, for the Non-EEA Family Member of a Dutch Citizen. That one i am sure about.

The one i am having doubts about, is the proof of Lawful resident from resident provider, and sponsor.
