Question for non-EU family members who applied for EUSS from a EUSS family permit.

What does the COA say in terms of right to work? Does it confirm a right work?

Re: Understanding EUSS deadline for non-EU family members

I agree, it's a terrible idea to intentionally overstay your permit. Once again, I was not aware of the specifics of how UK permits work with regards to the actual stamp you get on entry. To your point, and the response of the EUSS resolution center, it looks like the UK border officers do not exten...

Re: Understanding EUSS deadline for non-EU family members

It depends on how a country deals with entry permits - hence the ambiguity. There are many countries in the world - USA, Canada, China, or Korea for example - where the dates of an entry permit or a visa merely stipulates the last date to enter the country, and not the last day you can remain in the...

Based on your facts you shared, she would be eligible. If however there are other circumstances that make this complicated (for example, ...

Re: EU Settlement Scheme Family Permit 2nd application - not straightforward?

Generally speaking, as long as the sponsor (you) still has their settled or pre-settled status, or was living in the UK before 31 Dec 2020, the application should come back positive. "Your application is not straightforward" is a standard response that they are sending to everyone, I assume because ...

Thank you for your email enquiry dated 5 April 2021 about the conditions on your Family Permit and when you can apply to the EU S...

Re: Understanding EUSS deadline for non-EU family members

Think about it. What is April 1st + 3 months? July 1st (or, on the safe side, roughly June 30th). This notice is there simply to avoid anyone having a Family Permit with a validity date beyond June 30th, to mistakenly believe they are able to apply after June 30th, just because their Family Permit ...

You won't need to prove income, just take yours and your spouse's passports, marriage certificate, and proof of address. You're missing the point. OP is not an EU-citizen, and they're not married yet, therefore will have to prove to the Registrar office that it' not going to be a marriage of conven...

Are you an American citizen? Ireland has a curious process for stamp 4 applications that centers around their determination if you're in a sham marriage. Typically if you're from a low-risk country such as the US, Canada, or other developed countries, you can book an appointment with the Burgh Quay ...

Re: EU Settlement Scheme family permit before travel vs. code 1a stamp on arrival

So using the egates can't make you a visitor against your will! The downside is that if you need leave to enter and don't have, it is unlawful if not illegal to enter without leave to enter. Richard W, I didn’t quite understand this part. The way I read it, I’m entering as a visitor if I used the e...

You make a good point about the European directive. Indeed, if the entries are legal, there’s nothing stopping you from crossing and going to the nearest GNIB office and making an application to reside. - I believe you’re looking for a long term D visa which is for spouses of Irish citizens. http://...

Re: Northern Irish Father, can I claim Irish Citizenship

I suspect it’s always a pleasant surprise to learn that you can’t apply for Irish citizenship because you’re already an Irish citizen! As the previous poster pointed out, all you need is a passport.
