Unfortunately as Walrus said it is policy and in our situation we are just numbers and names on pieces of paper they cannot understand or deal with us in a manner that is personal. As for the dearly beloved nature of Potatoes im not sure but i can tell you this at least once a week i have some kind...

let's just go? we can meet up for coffee if we can't get in?

Oh... and I thought we are having a troublesome time! All the best for you and the new little one.

hei so sorry to hear Static :cry: But just want to say this is what life and marriage is also about. If a person is not willing to go through the "thick of things" maybe it wasn't going to work out in the long run anyway. But best of luck with things, from what I gather the UK seem to be better wit...

Hi Guys, This is what i have in relation to Appealing your decision if it is refused.

The only way we finally got a response is by faxing them the same letter 3 times a day for 3 days running.

YES!!! this is definitely the easiest way to remove all romance from a realtionship & the "honeymoon" period after the wedding! Static I really hope that you guys will work something out. I know all this can be really stressful...but this too shall pass. Hangin in there! And if you need anything I ...

Thanks Birdy.. What are you going to do?

But i only applied for jobs above 30k

as i already have a half decent job

but i can get a micky mouse job in 2 days thats not a problem

I don't understand... a micky mouse job? you already working then?

I provided proof of residing in the UK by means of bills, letters and a rental contract. For the Surinder Singh cases in the UK, the general recommendation is to prove that you've lived in another EU country, with the EU citizen "exercising his/her treaty rights", for at least six months.

Well ... technically you can work but realistically you can't. You need a PPS number. To get that you need a passport AND a residence card/stamp 4. So.. you can't. The other option is to have a look at this website.. http://www.entemp.ie/labour/workpermits/ and go that way. That is what I am trying ...

archigabe you truly ARE the man! Thank you for finding it. And I completely agree, we should have a celebration!!

No, nobody has asked me to leave. I don't think I would be able to apply for an EEA family permit for a weekend visit as we don't require visas to travel in the UK. I will, however, try to do this. The UK requires that all spouses of EU citizens get an EEA family permit if they are entering on that...

I was refused only 1 so far and their reason was that it is contract work!?!? which also doesn't make sense. So.. hope for the best today.

Runie.. have you tried calling the DOJ? It is nearly impossible to get through. Then.. IF you manage to get through 9/10 times they put the phone down on you. Also.. if you ring them they speak absolute nonsense. Almost all of us were told that we just need to arrive here, do the EU1 thing and we C...

Call the Feckers and ask them I am not a mind reader. so kinldy please explain what you mean by "must submit evidence showing lawful residence in another EU Member State" can you be more specific as you are about the acceptance of documents so why dont u point out exactly what documents you need ? ...

Thanks a stack for all the positive words. I am going to push really hard to find a job now and get a work permit while appealing this case and applying for the EEA family permit. How is everyone else's things going?

What I would like light on is the semantics of 'legally residing' anywhere. If I was not concidered legal in the UK before getting here, how can I be concidered 'legally residing' here for the EEA family permit application.

Can anybody shed some light on it? I haven't been living here 'legally' although it wasn't 'illegally' because my application was in process. Therefore surely it doesn't apply to me? Also.. my two months in England doesn't count as legal quite clearly by my rejection letter. I am happy to try. Wher...

Thanks Static As you well know, Africa is not for Europeans. That is why I want a better life for my children. I have just heard on the radio that there are 5 murders a day in the Cape Flats alone never mind the rest of Cape Town. Someone on the forum says the wind in IRE is strong. In Cape Town th...

Static, I'm so sorry to hear that. First, I hope you are able to work out the marital issues, and failing that, that you get some sound advice on how to move forward. I'm afraid I don't know much about Irish immigration but I hope it all works out well for you. My husband and I almost split up once...
