I have described the situation elsewhere- mother and son from Moscow. There are two family members (both British, naturalised) living in the UK who they wished to visit: 1) The mother's daughter ; 2) The boy's father and the mother's former husband . Now, it's a bit complicated because the father of...
The currency is GBP, not roubles :) He is a former part of the Lukoil group which got haunted down by Putin & Co. He is not exactly overflowing with cash and the mother wouldn't want to ask for more than necessary as he's quite thrifty. That's why the cheapest and quickest route to BC would benefit ...
John and vinny, thank you both for your help, it is great to get such advice for free, god bless you. @vinny, I followed your link and one of the requirements for sole responsibility was "substantial financial remittance". The father transferred 10,000 and 12,000 in the last 2 years. Although this d...
my question relates to the fact that if an EEA national received a Document Certifying PR, based on the fact that he/she had exercised the rights for 5 years, the PR sticker should suffice instead of the pile of documents. The PR is only lost with the absence over 2 years, thus, PR is already proof ...
this is ridiculous, if it had been on that folded piece of cardboard, you could probably try and tamper with it and stick it into your passport :twisted: but if it's on an A4... i can imagine what the border guards across the world could tell you to use it for. There should be some way to transfer t...
Dear John, thank you very much for the reply. That is what I wanted to know. So, the only way to get the Child Settlement is if the father agrees with the mother that the boy should live with him in the UK and there is proof of the mother's permission. The mother would have to divest the responsibil...
this has been discussed here before, the actual Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2009/11/pdfs/ukpga_20090011_en.pdf has already come into force. Several parts of it, including the one about probationary citizenship, is due to come into force in July 2...
what if the eea national has already got the doc certifying permanent residence? does non-eea still have to send anything apart from that to prove the exercise of treaty rights by eea during the period? it would save the hassle etc. plus, non-eea will have to send this a 3rd time after confirming he...
:) in this post i never claimed i was in the situation myself, just described the scenario of a friend in general terms, otherwise you would have seen personal pronouns throughout the post which would have indicated my personal involvement. secondly, i use the same profile to query not only my probl...
There is a political asylum seeker father from Russia who got naturalised in the UK and got BC recently. He has an 8 year old son in Moscow who is living with his mum. The parents divorced just after this boy was born. The now-Brit father has a new family etc in the UK but wants to have his son visi...
My bad, sorry. What about married parties where one departs from uk? Is this a convenient circumvention of Art 13? Also, Art 12 is ambiguous as to reqs for departure and only mentions reqs for death- 1 year residence... What does one need to retain resid under 12.1? I think you have been reading Art...
I know, i tried to understand how can eea national who obtained PR despite being absent for 5 months a year(as this is allowed under eea regs) nevertheless apply for naturalisation - would he not be able to, i think not, so the person who is thinking of becoming british should stick to the 1971 act ...
isn't it a bit tricky to rely on 12.1? it refers to the retention of residence in case of divorce etc. The fact that the daughter simply "left" does not fall under this heading. The only solution I see is that, since the daughter can leave the UK for up to 6 months per year without breaking the resi...
does the qualifying residence period apply to the eea nationals too? to become naturalised During the residential qualifying period, you must not have been absent from the UK for more than 450 days. You must not have been absent for more than 90 days in the last 12 months this means, the person may ...
Please note, it will be harder for an extended family member to get the EEA FP as the requirements are more stringent than for others. You need to give more facts with dates of support, situation of your brother and so on. When did you live together in the same household? That should be not only YOU...
Hey, thanks. I have written to them but they seem to reply in generic terms and give links to the UKBA website explaining the reasoning behind the need for Biometric Data submission, WITHOUT actually answering the question I'd asked: "where do you derive your authority from? especially in the view o...
thank you for your response. I am aware of the statement and also of the Directive and Regulations, I just wanted to ask if the above documents would be sufficient. The HO guidance can be interpreted broadly. If this were a case of the British National trying to bring in a dependent, this would have...
I am intending to bring in my granma as a Dependant Family Member. I have proof of relationship and the EEA national exercising treaty rights. The final proof of dependency is in the form of regular bank transfers (6 months of bank transfers). She is living with my parents, in their flat, however, s...
The only reason why the UKBA may wish to see the proof of exercising the Treaty Rights again is. If you exercised TR not as a worker, but as a self-sufficient or student, and acquired a PR, this doesn't necessarily mean that your wife would automatically get hers, since, she would need to have been ...
one way i see, which is far-fetched, is- get a new passport and then post it to a friend in the UK who will apply internally, as if you are in the UK and if you could ask someone to report that your passport was lost/stolen in the UK to get the police crime reference number. If that is possible, the...
any ideas, anyone pls? Any updates on this issue from the Commission or other sources confirming the illegality of fingerprinting? would be great if someone has this info. thx
have the same situation. My granma- 78 years old, can't walk. I emailed to ask where they derive their authority from to collect bio data, waiting for reply. Would be a pain in the mule to take her out for the sake of fingerprinting. poor thing would be lucky to survive the flight and i don't want t...
No, you don't. Hope this helps. HI All, I am married to an Irish National and hold a "RESIDENCE CARD OF A FAMILY MEMBER OF AN EEA NATIONAL" Do I need a Schengen visa to travel to Italy? We are travelling together and have been told to take our marriage cert just in case. I have read on a site the fo...
... I thought if you are accompanying or joining your EEA spouse you wouldn't need the bloody thing in the first place? All you need is just to turn up at the border with a valid id and marriage certif+ the spouse, who would be exercising his/her right of free movement in the first 3 months anyway (...
If it's a telephone appointment- you can go alone and apply instead of other family members. However, bear in mind if you booked on the internet, each adult MUST attend! hope this helps
