benifa - one thing I think is odd. When my passport was returned, it was endorsed with a "no work no recourse to public funds" stamp, which was struck through and handwritten endorsed in error. The second stamp is a "no recourse to public funds" stamp only. Different numbers for each stamp. I didn't...
Hey crukleeds, From what you have posted, your partner should get the FP, but who knows. The people in Madrid are hopeless imo. The problem is that you go and hand in your documents and have the biometric data taken, and that's it. You don't get to talk to the person who is making the decision. You ...
ARTICLE 48 1. Freedom of movement for workers shall be secured within the Community by the end of the transitional period at the latest. 2. Such freedom of movement shall entail the abolition of any discrimination based on nationality between workers of the Member States as regards employment, remu...
Hi wet26. What an idiot the IO is. I trust you'll be writing a formal complaint. Anyway, once you have your passport back, simply apply for the Residence Card of the family member of a Union citizen, to which you are entitled, using form EEA2 . There's no need to leave the country, use UK national ...
Just a further update, I've received leave to enter for three months, after this I'm going home to apply for a spouse visa. At least I don't have to leave in 2 weeks... I think the three month you are given is an indication you are covered under EU law, which means you can apply for a resident Card...
Just a further update, I've received leave to enter for three months, after this I'm going home to apply for a spouse visa.

ciaramc, they didn't issue the permit because they don't think he is exercising treaty rights because he is receiving his income from the UK. They weren't concerned with my immigration status in Spain. You've been married 3 years, me only one month, so I don't think you would have the marriage of co...
So, yesterday I was refused and EEA FP and given 2 weeks temp admission to the UK. I have to return to the port at this time to receive the final decision on my application, as it has been referred higher. The port has my passport and evidence. Reasons the CIO has given (verbally only): He is not sa...
I'm really confused, because from what I had read, I should have been granted the EEA FP and I think the ECO has made an error in interpreting the legislation. Correct. But don't worry about it. Will do, I have all the evidence that I gathered in support of my EEA app. 20 documents, of which 6 were...
Ok, so what should I say when I'm at the port? That you are the family member of a UK national who has been exercising Treaty rights in an economic capacity in Spain and who is moving permanently to the UK. IO's are entitled to ask you to provide evidence of your entitlements. Easier if your husban...
I'm applying for an EEA FP because both my husband and I are living in Spain. He does not have a Spanish RC though. If I were in Australia (my country) then I would apply for a spouse visa. But as I am not, I am applying for a EEA FP. Yes - an EEA FP sounds right in these circumstances. http://www....
Is it going to matter that I have been in Spain illegally? No, but how are you in Spain illegally when you are the spouse of a UK national who is working in Spain? I came to Spain in 2007, then met my husband and we were married in America on 1 June 09. I assume I am still here illegally as I don't...

I am Australian Then you don't need an EEA FP. Just go. Right of entry 1. Without prejudice to the provisions on travel documents applicable to national border controls, Member States shall grant Union citizens leave to enter their territory with a valid identity card or passport and shall grant fa...
Hi wet26, You're right - Singh conditions apply. UK spouse visa not required (not unless you prefer to use UK rules instead, which, by the way, you might). Anyway, what country are you a citizen of? Hi benifa, I'm an Australian citizen. I think the ECO was wrong in refusing the EEA FP on the ground...
Hi I'am just Trying to help and thanks for the breifing: I thgink you too need to read this article: THE COURT, in answer to the question referred to it by the High Court of Justice (Queen' s Bench Division) by order of 19 October 1990, hereby rules: Article 52 of the Treaty and Council Directive 7...
If I had a RC for Spain, I would still need to apply for an EEA Family permit. Not according to: Right of entry 2. Family members who are not nationals of a Member State shall only be required to have an entry visa in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 or, where appropriate, with national ...
Hi You have married to a British citizen and now wanted to live permanently in UK. noble72uk is correct that you need to apply as s spouse/partner of a British citizen. EEA FP is not the right application. But if wet26 has a RC from Spain, is she allowed to live in UK w/o the need to apply as a spo...
Hi, I've just had my EEA Family Permit refused because they are not satisfied I meet all of the requirements of Regulation 12. The reason being: " You have applied for admission to the United Kingdom by virtue of EC Law as the family member of an EEA nation who is exercising or wishes to exercise, r...
thanks for the links - especially to the website with the judgements as I'd not seen that before. From reading all that, I think it would be safe to say I should be granted the permit, given that we can provide evidence of having lived together so we shouldn't be considered as having a marriage of c...
My husband has been living and working in Spain since August 2007, which I believe classes him as an EEA national for the purposes of applying for an EEA family permit for me (i am australian). We have been living together for 18 months and we married on 1 June in Las Vegas. I have been unlawfully i...
Does anyone know what the case would be for a domestic flight in Spain. I want to fly from Valencia to Madrid and I am non EEA, but I have overstayed in Spain. Considering I'm not leaving the country, would it be a problem to get on the flight. I need to get on the flight to make a connection to th...
