Hang on, does this mean all those exercising treaty rights abroad have to return and apply for visas? What about joining the eu and free movement? Is that withdrawn???

Merry xmas n happy new year! People married to Brit nationals dont have to wait one year when they get ILR for instance, it's somewhere in the act, i'm not at my laptop but u can google it n find it. There r certain rules for it such as the ILR holder must have been present in the uk for 3 years so ...

Just a quick thought. Those non-EEA family members who have lived in the UK with the EEA National (a Brit relying on the Surinder Singh) would not have to wait 12 months on the permanent residence status, but could directly apply for Naturalisation (provided the Life in the UK test is passed and the...

No, as you are still in employment. SSP, Holidays and other "days off" do not mean you are not employed. Also, do not rush back into work because of this concern, take as much time (and more if you can :) as you need! YOU ARE A WORKER/EMPLOYED until resign yourself or are "sacked" and even then, if ...

Is this some kind of a joke? :lol: :lol: :lol: Please read this VERY THOROUGHLY, it answers ALL your questions in great detail. http://immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=68425 You will automatically acquire Permanent Residence (provided you remain married and other requirements by your EEA are me...

Ok, apart from the little discrepancy with when the clock starts to tick, do you OVERALL agree with the UKBA answer? and that in cases such as mine above, there is absolutely no way of counting the previous time. Could one apply for PR on EEA4 and argue that "extensive examination" could be given to...

This guy probably was given a RC first, based on the durable relationship, and only then added the 3-year marriage, please see this link for the UKBA answer to this question. Many may disagree (including myself) but that's how they see it. http://immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=68425 Hi, I app...

There was a recent exchange of info on the thread regarding the possibility of applying for Permanent Residence based on a 3-4 year marriage but a 5-year relationship where parties lived in the UK for 5 years. http://immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=67107 I emailed the UKBA the following letter...

What ground was it denied on? Do you have it in writing that they claim since you acquired PR you are treated as a UK national? Loads of bullokks! You can only be classed as a UK national if you naturalise and that's it, you can continue to take advantage of your EU nationality in the UK till you de...

You mean 2004/38 and not 58? I am trying to grasp the concept of the permanent residence being recognised by other member states. If a non-EEA national with PR goes to live in another Memb St, his PR from the UK would be recognised, however, if he never returns to the UK within 2 years, he loses it?...

How was I supposed to remember this, don't take the earlier comments to heart 86ti pls

I know the daughter has left the country, however, as you probably know, there are certain regulations allowing the OP to retain the right of residence, in case of departure of the EEA national from the Member State! I find it plainly wrong and unethical to tell a person they are illegal in the coun...

Do you mean she left 2 years ago or she left for 2 years just recently, please clarify. My sponsor is my daughter, she hold a french passport. I've been living in the UK for 3 1/2 years. I've got EEA2 up to dec 2012. I've been working continuously since more than 3 years, and not left the UK for mor...

I find it plainly wrong and unethical to tell a person they are illegal in the country without first fishing out all the details about their and the "sponsor's"/family member's stay in the UK! Nadouya, can you tell us exactly when your daughter first moved to the UK, how long after that YOU moved to...

"Disgraceful talk"... strong words. Don't you sense sarcasm at all when you read it? you can try bringing your 2of4 wife over and start milking the system dry Disgraceful talk, I can't believe you are actually suggesting the OP does something illegal and benefit from other tax payer's hard earned ca...

EQUALITY!!! See Directive 2004/38 and push on against ignorant institutions Article 24 Equal treatment 1. Subject to such specific provisions as are expressly provided for in the Treaty and secondary law, all Union citizens residing on the basis of this Directive in the territory of the host Member ...

Hi, 1) How did you get the FP the first time? 2) I wouldn't apply for a tourist visa, although if you have a guarantee of getting it, then surely bring them over, I know of a couple of cases where people come in on tourist visas and LEGALLY and successfully and lawfully apply then under the EU law, ...

Healt wouldn't permit her to travel so no application was lodged. Although, I think it would've been successful if lodged. What's your situation?

Kaaka, you can claim it YES!!! Technically, as he is domiciled in the UK, the fact of him going back to his country and marrying invalidates that marriage in the eyes of the UK law. If he HAD ALREADY been married before coming to the UK, that would have been ok as a polygamous marriage, but not in h...

For her to qualify to apply using EEA2, YOU must have exercised treaty rights in another Member state prior to coming back to the UK. I assume that has been done? As you have just sent off her application, you should expect the Certificate of Application from the UKBA acknowledging the receipt of yo...

You see, this is a grey area as I see it. For your parents to come to the UK for free using EEA FP route (form VAF5), they should be regarded as your family members. For that they need to be parents BUT + DEPENDENT on you/your EEA national spouse. Now, if they are NOT dependent on you, they cannot b...

Hi, I see no reason why you cannot apply on form EEA2 if you provide all the relevant info, plus you'd be able to obtain a Certificate of Application which would state you are able to work while your passport is at the UKBA, so your employer won't give you trouble. Thanks a lot Mcovet!! It's a shame...

I think rehabilitation of offenders has 5 years for an offence to be spent, and there are different scales etc? But, the main thing is that under EU law, you are NOT subject to immigration control, many people don't understand that! An immigration officer or any UKBA official cannot do anything, the...

A) Are YOU a holder of an EEA residence card since 2005 or you ARE an EEA national yourself and if yes, it shouldn't be a problem. How did you obtain the EEA family permit for your 2nd wife? based on YOUR relationship as the EEA national? If yes, then again you shouldn't have any problems obtaining...

Sorry, I know it seems confusing :) you get PR on the basis of (briefly discarding the EEA's requirement to exercise Treaty Rights for the 5 years you live together): 1) Having resided with the EEA for 5 years; 2) That joint residence should be "in accordance with the "EU Law" i.e. being a family me...
