ILR application - When is the 5 year period completed?

Hi guys, I come back once more to this really helpful website to ask for your help and advice on my case. I am a non-EEA National and I arrived to UK in Nov 2009 to join my wife (EEA citizen). I used a Family Permit (as a family member of an EEA citizen) which gave me the entry clearance to UK. This...

Perhaps you are better of trying 01516725626. Hopefully you will be able to get through. It is a bit strange not to receive a COA 4 months after application.

Thanks for you answer. I'll try to contact them on this number.

Cheers!

My wife is Italian and she's been working full time in UK for the last 15 months now. We plan to stay in UK for a long time. My q...

what do you mean if VISA validity permits? are you talking about my French permit? or the type of french permit I got? You should make sure that your French permit is valid for long enough to receive your EEA family permit. In principle, the embassies have to issue one as fast as possible (and it i...

Why don't you still go ahead to france on the 30th and then fly to bolivia to apply for an eea family permit.less hassle. Could also be done in France if visa validity permits. Mmmmm this last option sounds very interesting, I could apply for this family permit from France. That will safe the risk ...

OK, so if I regroup your advises, what I should do is apply for the EEA2 as soon as possible but without sending my passport to them. Then go to France and get back by train having the following documents: - Certificate of mariage in english. - Copy of my EEA2 completed and sent with the signed-for ...

I think that needing to be in France on the exact date your current visa expires is the worst possible situation. In fact I can't think of a solution! I say that because Bolivians are now visa nationals and without a valid visa in your passport I can't see how the airline/train/ferry company would ...
