If there is a consensus on this thread, can I suggest that the moderators move the posts on this thread (apart from one linking to the other thread) about appropriate conduct to be moved to the thread that I have created? This thread can then revert to its primary purpose of being a discussion spac...

Everyone please , Let's not go off topic Some things that I want to clear up : I understand why the mods would want the timeline thread to be timeline only - As the title suggests , Its for timelines only right . BUT People would continue to have discussions there (As we saw earlier , Even though CA...

Discussions are different from questions , please understand @mods Questions lead to discussions which lead to questions which lead to even more discussions, please understand @chriskv1 CR001 , The community believes otherwise . Obviously people found the need to keep discussing their matters in th...

Hi guys This thread can be used for discussing any EEA2 EFM OR FM application that you have made. I saw one of the moderators freaking out on the timeline thread and now it has been locked . So let that thread be timeline only, you can have any discussions on here. Discussions are different from que...

Let's hope so. I wish everyone a wonderful new year.

Any updates from July/August applicants ?

@Inadilemma : Technically you get to decide how you want to conduct yourself in your marriage. So yeah , it is. BUT they can easily claim that your marriage is one of convenience and technically it will be , Because you're considering divorcing her now - And because youre scared you'll loose your st...

No lawyer is the best choice if your application is straight forward , which it is .


Guidance is available in plenty , Educate yourself here . Be organised and submit a very well formed application , It will only cost you £65+£20 = £85.

A lawyer would cost you around £1000 +

Be wise

@alex : It's all a secret atm. I will update here when good news comes

Just praying it works out well for all of us. The HO has dragged me and my fiance over this matter for over a year now :/


And also it seems like july applications are now being approved

People always put you down for no reason . This is why I don't listen to advice from some random strangers in this forum.
It's just an opinion that he had , which was flawed. But nevertheless an opinion.

Regardless of whether your parents know it or not , No religion says that you can't sleep together after marriage . Regardless of what you think of it , if you're getting married it should be a marriage. You have to understand the seriousness of these things , You can't get away with things by sayin...

Ah ok . So I presume you're trying to do the Surinder Singh route ?

I would suggest you take advice from one of the moderators here. Obie is someone who has assisted me and I suggest you contact him .

Ok, thanks. My fiancée is Chinese, living in Japan. I have a good job in the UK, but she is finding it hard to learn English (lessons are in Japanese) and she has visa problems. Long story short she overstayed her visa in Japan and has been waiting for a decision from the government for about six y...

If you have retained rights , I suggest you just apply for EEA4 .

Why make things complicated ?

You can get your RC exchanged for a BRP .But I think it costs £400 and provides no additional value.

There is nothing wrong with what Obie said . It is true. But just thought it'd confuse the OP .

Obie says if you're a criminal or there is some other reason that is justified they might refuse residence or entry

They would keep it , Because you don't need your Tier 4 card anymore if you are issued an EEA RC.

I have seen cases where the HO called the rental agency/landlord to verify information regarding tenancy .

In one such case , the application was rejected because the landlord told the HO that the tenant specifically asked for a 3 month short term let .

On what basis were you refused EEA2 ?
Are you married or unmarried ?

@Casa : I actually don't know if I was an overstayer, I had an application pending . I had applied for that pending application before my leave to remain expired . But I have to say that we had a lot of utility bills , conversation logs , travel documents of us travelling together , council tax bill...

@Casa : I did miss that unfortunately :roll: However , My advice to him still remains the same. Its not hard to get married , I had an interview with the HO for getting married and I am thankful that there was an interview . Because the interviewer was satisfied of our relationship being genuine . (...

@Casa : You must note that the OP has not told us whether he lives with his partner or not . We do not know of their individual circumstances. And the OP of the thread you mentioned was granted RC after an appeal on May 2014 . This is clear proof to what I said , The HO can say whatever they want , ...
