Exactly, the letter as quoted is a Letter from employer confirming employment and as such sufficient to prove the exercising of treaty rights. I never sent bank statements or an employment contract. Mostly I did add a printout of the company details, as you can extract from the WebCheck service on t...
I have been in this situation for more than 9 years now, and I see a lot of confusing remarks in this discussion so far. The situation is really very simple. As a director you are automatically also an employee of the company (even if you are not paid a salary, or do not have an employment contract ...
So, did it take you a full year to get a Residence Card in 2008/2009?? Anyway, as Obie says, the clock starts in your case on the day that the non-EEA first entered the UK on an EEA Family Permit. It might be useful if you still have the passport used for this entry, and in particular the entry stam...
This link may also be helpful: http://www.duesseldorf.de/buergerinfo/33/03/34eu03.shtml Surely similar information can be found on the website of the city where you are planning to live. Apparently the fee for an Aufenthaltskarte für Familienangehörige von EU-Ausländern is 28.80 euro, and you need t...
As your mother has lived in your household for the last couple of years, is above state retirement age and has no income of her own (or perhaps a very small Russian pension, which is next to nothing in the UK or USA?) it should be obvious to anyone, including UKBA employees, that she is a dependent ...
When your wife left the UK, also your residence rights in the UK as a family member were terminated automatically. Apparently that happened before you completed the five years necessary to acquire PR. Whether you had leave to remain here on other grounds or were here illegally for the past few years...
I've no idea what the purpose of the visit might be. Just let them into the living room, offer them a cup of tea or whatever you think is appropriate, answer their questions if they are not too intrusive. Don't let them inspect your house unless they give you a convincing reason for that. And at som...
Being Dutch they don't need any residence documentation or entry clearance, so there is no need to add them on application forms for such things, end of story. On the EEA4 form of your husband you only need to include non-EEA family members; there is no need at all to include family members who have...
Why should there be any problem with the children? They all have Dutch nationality because they have a Dutch mother (assuming you had Dutch nationality when they were born).
The rules for acquiring Dutch nationality are very strictly applied; if you do not live at the same address as your Dutch spouse for even a single day, that resets the clock and the three-year period starts at zero again. If I understand your story correctly, your wife has lived in the Netherlands f...
I don't think you should worry too much, but as a precautionary measure make sure you have your marriage certificate with you, as well as the letter that UKBA sent you with the ISD. Note that the Dutch authorities themselves always issue residence permits as stand-alone documents (credit-card size p...
Anne-Marie's husband is now an EU citizen, exercising treaty rights as a worker. I see no compelling reason to have (or maintain) CSI, nor any problem in claiming child benefits.
I think the best thing I should do is ask the authorities when I arrive. If they say 3 months, or 6 months, or no months, well so be it. I guess I could buy a small left hand drive car there for not too much money, get some car insurance on it, and make sure it is tested. It's probably even better ...

The link you provided only claims that this information was supplied by the German Consulate more than fifteen years ago. IMHO: anyone who relies on it today, does so at their own risk!
Can you back that up with a link to an authoritive source? I very much doubt it: OP will be a resident of Germany with no recent EU residency as he lived in China for the last four years or so. I don't know the exact rules in Germany, but in Holland he would have only 14 days to get his car register...
Regarding your questions 2 and 3: there is no reason to wait with any of these. Start these applications as soon as you have sorted out your initial settlement issues, and definitely do not postpone it to the last moment. Resist the temptation to submit redundant supporting documents; it will only p...
The case sounds pretty much straightforward. I would advise to make sure you have translations into English and into German of your marriage certificate and of your wife's birth certificate, and very soon after arriving in Germany and starting your job there, apply for a German Residence Card (Aufen...
I have said on many occasions on this forum that I do not understand why so many EU (or EEA) immigrants apparently feel an irresistible urge to become British Citizens. I'm in the UK for about 15 years already and still don't see the benefit, which would justifiy the high cost of the naturalisation ...
Yes, your path to PR (EEA4) will still take five years (starting from the date of marriage or the date that you entered the UK on an EEA Family Permit, whichever is the later). There is, however, a small advantage as your EEA family member is now no longer required to exercise treaty rights or hold ...
aphid, it seems the immigration lawyer did give you very wrong advice and as you describe it I think you sent at least a hundred times more than you should have (I'm serious here, no exaggeration). If he really told you to send so much rubbish, you should report him for incompetence and gross profes...
SO PALS NO APPLICATION UNDER EEA REGULATIONS IS MANDATORY This may be true, strictly speaking, but it doesn't show any sense of practicality. Why are you so desperate to avoid any application for confirmation of rights under EEA Regulations?? If you need to convince third parties (employers, airlin...
You describe your situation in a way that confuses me a bit. You are talking about my husband , and in the next sentence about my wife ?? Assuming you mean my husband in both cases, then am I correct in understanding that your husband is an EU national (Danish as you say), but his parents are non-EE...
Documents that he intended to submit with application are, 5: Declaration of sufficient funds. A slight confusion regarding declaration of sufficient funds is that what exactly needs to be written, is stating " I xxxxx Declare that I have had sufficient funds during the whole period of stay in The ...
