Hi Gurus, I've been investigating on Singh ruling for quite a while as I am thinking to go through that route to bring my mother along to UK with me. I am now curious and can't help thinking about the following question, If I want to go to Ireland with my mom(given I have enough proof of dependency)...

Does anyone know? There has to be an category for non-eu parents or other family members I think?

Just a quick question, which category of visa application should be chosen for Non-EEA dependent parents travelling together with EEA national into Ireland? On the website, there seems to be * Join Parent (EEA National) * Join Partner (EEA National) * Join Spouse (EEA National) But which category do...

ruthie, I will suggest as follows: 1. You need to come to Ireland first and take up the role. There are a couple of issues which you need to tidy up before you begin the process and I will assume it will be the same everywhere (but the Irish is notably "challenging" :) ) 1. I dont see how realistic...

You can check if they can go under the Irish Short-stay Visa Waiver Programme http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/VWP%20Info%20NoteRev4-20111024.pdf/Files/VWP%20Info%20NoteRev4-20111024.pdf My wife got multi D visa for 4 months but even then her passport was stamped only for 30 days at the Dublin airpor...

I am currently living in Uk(citizen) and about to accept a job offer from Ireland soon. I want to bring my parents along with me, who is currently living with me in UK on visit visa. They are financially dependent on me (i've been sending back money, paying for their bill etc.), also living with me ...

The UK very clearly sees Singh applying only to direct family members. Hi Directive/2004/38/EC, interested to know what makes you think that and could you please provide the official links if there is any? From this link, if I understand correctly, it seems that the ruling should apply to all 'fami...

The household has to be headed by the Union Citizen. He or she is expected to have primary right or ownership of the house or property .Essentially the family members are living under his or her roof. That is the way the law is interpreted in the UK at present. Thanks Obie and John. This sounds new...

Yes the directive provides that children or parents who fail to show dependency may qualify under Article 3(2) of the directive, but they are failing to understand without the parents and the EEA national providing proof that prior to the EEA national entering the UK, the parents and the EEA nation...

I believe you friend's mother should appeal this decision. The refusal is clearly unjustified. There is no requirement for one to Hold a family permit before a residence card should be issued. It will suffice if the mother show dependency in the UK. The retention of the passport seems illegal aswel...

Hi Gurus, Have been reading this section for quite some time and I think you guys are indeed informative and helpful. This is actually a case of my friend. Just out of curiosity, I would like to see any sensible next step for him in this case cos this might well be happening to anyone who wants to t...

Hi all, It's a quick question, but I can't manage to find the answer here. If dependent family member join me on EEA2 in UK, when applying for EEA4 after 5 years, do they still need to be financially dependent on me to qualify? What if I go to take a 5 year course and they live on their own income i...

Has he got proof that she's dependent on him? EEA Family members in the ascending line must be dependant on the EEA Citizen. He would need to prove this by showing that she lives with him in UK, etc. Also, why not apply under domestic legislation or has this been refused and if so why? Yes. His mot...

This is a question by one of my friend. He is a British citizen and will be going to Ireland to exercise EU Treaty Rights and wants to bring his mother(non-EEA) with him. After that he will come back to UK based on Surinder Singh ruling and apply for EEA2 for his mom. Does anyone know if his mother ...

I am interested to know more about the Surinder Singh ruling and trying to find some threads related my question on this forum but haven't got a clue yet. Not sure if some experts can help me out here. My question is, if a British citizen wants to exercise EU Treaty Rights in Ireland, does he need t...

The 3 month rule applies when your coming into the country. How about if you were in the country and you are a week short. 5 year workpermit switched to Tier 1 General, they stamped me a week short of 5th year anniversary. Question is can i send a postal application and if they take over a week to ...

Thank you very much guys. Really appreciate your help. I kinda agree with paulmu though that Annex B 2.2 is just a way of saying and doesn't necessarily mean that ILR cannot be granted if current visa is not due to expire shortly in this case. It just doesn't quite make sense because that would mean...

Hi Mate, Though from new guidance it looks that you are eligible to apply on 1 sept 2011 but i would suggest to wait till dec for ILR application, it will keep your apllication less complex. Can I ask you something about the visa expiry correction you mentioned. How did it happened, was that they f...

Hey Guys, hope someone could help me check out if I misunderstood anything. We first got our HSMP entry clearance on Sep 29 2006 but entered UK on Dec 17 2006, which means we have an initial gap of 2+ months. Our first extension was valid till Sep 29 2011 but according to the conversation between hs...

I also Entered UK after two months of getting Visa. I am short my 30 Days to Apply for ILR (i.e (28 + 30)). By seeing this, It looks I can apply for ILR after 4 Years and 10 months. But one point. It says, Case Worker may Count. (i.e may or may not be?) Wait for any senior member to comment on this...

You can provide them the royal mail bar code reference of the package you sent to UKBA. That is acceptable when an application reference is not available. Of course, that only applies if you sent your passports by recorded/special delivery :) I've called them today, but they can't find the case usi...
