There are other topics on how to do a SAR. Dear noajthan, sorry to be pain again, I think I'm lost I kept digging all this time about the above query, but couldn't find an answer, so could please help me or at least send me the link of the exact SAR topic that can give me an answer, as there are pl...

Fast-track SAR is free!! Regular is £10. Ah I see! it's good to know, btw about this form (application for fast track records only) , could I use it to know when have I acquired my PR while I am waiting as the same time as the process of my PR application decision (non-eea)? also when it comes to s...

It's free , takes approx. 20 working days and will contain the PR date they have recorded for you. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/requests-for-personal-data-uk-visas-and-immigration Alternatively, if you apply through the NCS, they can call the HO an...

Hi, I was hoping to get a bit of guidance. I'm a non EEA citizen married to an EEA citizen, who has been exercising her treaty rights in the UK for the past 9 years . For the past 5 years, I've been on the EEA2 visa, which is due to expire next year. We've been married for just over 5 years and hav...

You're over thinking this. You got a boiler plate letter. The generic advice to get a FP doesn't apply to reenter as you have a current RC. that's true I am always over thinking when it comes to the HO, and I am also kind of person who likes to seek information/advise/Do/Don't do, beforehand :-) I ...

RCs run for 5 years. They don't magically extend. If you have had a 2nd RC issued then when was it issued :?: And I'll leave the maths as exercise for reader :wink: Note this is not about PR. dear noajthan, I know you have a lot going on and everyone is expecting you to reply at the same time, but ...

RCs run for 5 years. They don't magically extend. If you have had a 2nd RC issued then when was it issued :?: And I'll leave the maths as exercise for reader :wink: Note this is not about PR. Old RC was issued in Oct 2011 and was due to expire on Oct 2016 New RC was issued in May 2014 and is due to...

Thank you very much! Even if my original RC was supposed to expire on 19 Oct 2016 , as I had new passport so technically when they transfer my RC from the old to the new passport, the expiry date changed from Oct 2016 to May 2019 instead! so to clarify.. if I travel abroad and on my back to UK, woul...

[.... Boilerplate letter. Obviously FP not required from outside if someone still has a valid RC .[/quote] Hey Noajthan, thanks for your reply, sorry could you please explain that again as I am not really sure if I understood that! whats the FP, andf also not required...please clarify a bit more ! ...

Re: Return of documents I've just received the passports today with a letter stating as below, but i'm still not really sure about it, is it as standard where i have underlined in red (are they assuming most of non-eaa that are applying for their PR's, that their RCs are out of date or about to expi...

Hello, If she is 48 years old she can be her spouse carer and get paid from Government for doing that and apply as qualify person in her own right now as an EU national under EU route. The earlier the better. And beside that the partner has now become BC. I think this should be your first option. I...

I received my passport today! It took 20 working days in total to get it back. I completed the form online twice and also did the complaint for when it takes longer than 10 working days. i'm sure you are happy and over the moon, as you have mentioned earlier you are traveling on 29th Nov..well good...

The options you have is worth going for, but depend on the age of the wife I would have suggested to start all over again on her own right by choosing any convenient treaty right , if that doesn't work you may apply on UK route as a carer of BC and the length of being together as a couple can make ...
