Hello all, We are planning on a 2 week trip to Spain in summer 2018. I am a British citizen and my Moroccan wife is residing in UK on her 2nd spouse visa. From reading the Spanish consulate website I understand that she can apply for Schengen visa as spouse of EU citizen? Therefore she does not nee...

The fact that EEA Family Permit are DELIBERATELY denied and delayed is an idea of some members of this forum and it's not based on any actual situation. You can not be married in the UK because you can not apply for a fiancee visa because you are not British or Permanent Resident and I don't think ...

Hi all Looking for some advice here. I am British and I just took a job in Spain. My wife is Syrian but is currently in the UK on a family visit visa staying with my parents.

AIUI, dual UK/Irish citizens cannot avail themselves of EEA rules in UK and so in these cases are considered British only. In any case as you have ILR you are firmly under UK rules for immigration anyway. The OP is under UK rules in the UK but being a spouse of an EEA citizen he can travel with the...

Hello everybody, I have to say I got a bit shocked but perhaps not entirely surprised when I saw that EEA family permit requests have started to be deliberately denied and delayed greatly since mid 2017. Got to read quite few stories during the past few hours. Anyways, I am an Italian citizen 30 ye...

Processing times for a visa application lodged by a third-country national who is a family member of an EU citizen covered by the Directive going beyond 15 days should be exceptional and duly justified. Exceptional and du...

It looks like they need longer for a decision for whatever reason.

This is not acceptable for a family member.

Thanks for reply She came as a family member of an EU national. Flag is not correct might be NL 1. Your wife has to call the NiNo number, they will ask about her visa and tell them that it’s EEA Family permit.

Is she in Malaysia now?

We received the rejection letter from Home Office for the EEA family member permit, on the grounds that they do not recognize the Malaysian marriage certificate. Quoting the rejection letter: "In support of your application you have provided a certificate of marriage. It has been noted that you hav...

Why should the Home Office care whether you are divorced or not? It would only matter if you claimed to have a spouse or durable partner, or if it mattered who the father of a child of yours was. Incidentally, are you sure you are divorced? If the divorce was conducted by the diplomatic mission, it...

I have received my COA and hr officer is saying that there is a risk they could hire me and the Residence Card would be rejected. So although I have the right to work in the UK currently, there is a chance I might have to leave the UK as the home office can still reject my application. This is gett...

Hi Eliza, yes my employer did get a reply within 5 working days. I didn't show my first COA and I also didn't tell them I couldn't work. I just told them to do the check. When I finally received the second COA I then did show it to them. Hi Lily, Thank you for sharing your story. You have a very si...

1. You said you submitted a copy, the guidelines say that you have to submit the original or a CERTIFIED copy "your family member’s valid passport or national identity card (or a certified copy if you can’t provide the original)" - from gov.uk website. 2. Was the certificate of marriage in English?...
