And how could genuine and effective be defined mathematically? What does that mean!! Thats whats worrying us.

Thanks for the reassurance; is there a reference i can go back to cause we already got ********** with our PR due to a 70£ pw self employed income that apparently wasnt written anywhere. Hence we are in an appeal process. In case it fails we will need to apply for another 5 yrs on the basis of my wo...

Yes (my wife) does (am a family member). On average she works more than 16 hrs a week. Is 12 hrs the legal standard? And she does get paid yes.

Hello people Just wanted to ask- working through an agency in healthcare alone, good 2-3 days a week, obviously whenever they call, is it actually exercising EU rights for my European wife? Is there any specific requirements under employment sections for that except for bwing employed? Any set numbe...

Mm thats an interesting article thanks. I will strongly consider that

Hi i did. I also did apologise for repeating myself. But this time am asking if someone actually had a similar experience rather speculating.

Hi guys and sorry for the repetition. My question is simple. Am appealing now against my (non EEA) and my wifes (EEA) refusal of PR and itll take a while. My 5 year permit expired in feb. my with is employed and exercising eu rights. Got a 3 week holiday coming up and i wondered whether if i travel ...

If i travel to latvia by car i can get back to uk border @ dover. Do i use the same docs (marraige cert, rebtal and bills etc..) with my wife. What are the chances.

With regards to travelling, i have my 5 yrs residence permit now expired and am in the process of appeal. question is, can i fly with my wife to Latvia, her country of origin? well i kow i can leave the UK, i also know essentially they want a family visa for the way back, but given that we both have...

the refusal letter said we didnt provide sufficient evidence in order to deem us exercising eu treaty rights. between brackets an example was given for Business bank statements??! although i dont think that was obligatory as far as i know. my solicitor said now that my wife has been employed for las...

Can i reapply whilst this i have my appeal pending? Or do i wait for the outcome? I pressume if the outcome is negative that leaves me no choice but to reapply. At the moment my wife is employed alongside her selfempl so i gues she is exercising eu rights hence i assume i shouldnt be leaving the uk ...

Saw a sol. > 1000£ :( Refusal letter to my eu cit wife said that she failed to provide sufficient evidence for them (dunno whom) to deem her exercising eu treaty roghts. Mind you they didnt send any requests to provide ecidence throught the processing time of the application. is there a specific am...

Refusal letter to my eu cit wife said that she failed to provide sufficient evidence for them (dunno whom) to deem her exercising eu treaty roghts. Mind you they didnt send any requests to provide ecidence throught the processing time of the application.

So just to get this straight. Am going to my sol tmrw. Given that my eu wife and me (noneu) had both of our pr refused, do we both have to go for appeal or only my wofe- given that am an eu family member?

If your solicitor knows what he is doing, then you need not worry. You will be fine.

thanks guys. ill post updates

Hello Obie and thanks. My wife is self employed. She could have also applied as self sufficient but we didnt cause we were sure everything was in order. She actually has been employed now for 3 months. i will be meeting my sol. in a few days. i understand that they cant remove me whislt am appealing...

You can appeal or reapply with additional documents. I don't know what evidence you provided to support the application but you might find this post useful - Supporting Documentation Required for Self-Employed Apps . thanks for your reply. i will be appealing as they didnt give me any other option ...

First thing: relax. The refusal letter is a standard template letter the HO sends to all refusals and you can pretty much ignore what it says. The HO refused to confirm your PR. this doesn't mean you didn't obtain PR but that the HO wasn't satisfied with the documents you provided to confirm your s...

Hello guys. Still feeling sick from the letter i got today. Refusal of PR. also stating: make preparations to leave the country!!! Lebanese national married to a latvian citizen (no EU restrictions). Wife is self employed and am a doctor with a decent salary. We have been here for around 6 yrs we ha...

i mean is there any phone number in liverpool i can call to ask about the process?

Thanks for the quick reply. Problem is the letter that i got has a blank next to where it shouldve had a phone number which doesnt really help.

Hello I am a family member of an EEA citizen. Been in the UK for more than 5 years and my spouse is practicing EU rights since day 1. We have sent EEA3+4 applications for a permanent Residence and we received a letter that they have my application and thats it. once the 6 months passed, i sent an em...
