Ah ok, I see where you're getting that. That is specifically for visas that are for two years (FLR). An unmarried partner visa is different than a fiance visa. You should be fine.
PS- Someone will be along shortly to correct me if I'm wrong
I just wanted to say that I think you are both right lol. I talked with an advisor before returning to the US to apply for the FP. She told me that there was some rule or something recently in effect that gave consulates the choice to apply UK standards to EU applications. (It was something to that ...
I don't think that holds true for a fiance visa; I was under the impression that you just had to enter the UK in enough time to be able to amrry and apply for the spousal visa before the expiry of the fiance visa. But, tbh, I'm not 100% sure. Where online did you read this?
Using your numbers to answer... 1) No you don't. In fact the Consulate website recommends that you wait until you have visa in hand before making travel arrangements. 2) Yes, she can come and go pretty much as she pleases on the spousal visa. Just take care for her not to be out of the country so mu...
Birdy that sucks:( Don't bother calling the premium rate number; a number of people have received incorrect advice, and paid a pretty fortune to boot. Try contacting the Law Centre in Northern Ireland. They have an immigration helpline and they were who I contacted with my own issues a while back an...
Birdy, they misinformed you. :( "What will my non-EEA family members need to make an application? They will need make their application online or fill in the following visa application form: pdf Application form VAF1 - Non-Settlement (PDF, 165K)" this is from UKVisas http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servle...
Also, my husband has overstayed in the UK in the past.. just once and because of me, but we left of our own accord - he wasnt deported or anything althought we were told off on our way out at the airport! Should I highlight this is in the application.. I think you might have to. when I applied in F...
"21.4.8 Surinder Singh cases The ECJ case of Surinder Singh states that nationals of a Member State who go with their non-EEA family members to another Member State to exercise a Treaty right in an economic capacity, (as a worker or self-employed person) will on return to their home state, be entitl...
Sorry, I wasn't clear in my initial post. They haven't lived together; just done the long-distance thing for the last two years. That's the main reason they don't want to marry right away; they want to actually live together first. I'll pass along the info you gave me John, cheers!!
No, he's Irish. I know there is a precendent for being able to apply for a Family Permit for the UK even if you're British, if you have been exercising your treaty rights as a family elsewhere in the EU. (try googling the surinder singh case) The thing I'm wondering about though, is that if the emba...
Is the requirement of a work permit an indefinite thing? Is there a point in time where they can take up permit free employment, say after residing here x amount of time, or should they just base their plans on him only being able to be self employed?
I'm posting this for a friend of mine. She is a dual British/Irish citizen in Northern Ireland. Her boyfriend of the past two years in Romanian. They are looking at how he can move over here. They do not want to marry right away, and he is not in a highly skilled job field. Can he move here as a sel...
He would have his wife apply for an EEA FAmily Permit. I don't think she could apply for a spousal visa and he is not permanently settled in the UK. Have your friend have a look on the wesite for his nearest British consulate and he should find all the info he needs there. I'm not sure if he needs a...
Also the british consuls can issue a visa whilst you wait is this the same situation for the EEA permit? I had applied for my Family Permit at the consulate in New York. I was there for about 5 min, then was handed a card and told to come back in an hour for my passport. An hour later, and the FP w...
Has your wife been refused yet? Have you gotten any documentation from the Irish gov't that says anything to the effect of her being allowed to remain in Ireland while the EU1 is being processed? If you do have that, I would think you could apply to the British Embassy in Ireland for either EEA Fami...
