it certainly is possible. If anything, that other RC would be of great help to you as that would entitle you to the EU law to apply to you as a British Citizen taking advantage of the Directive 2004/38 and coming back (don't remember the case name, I think Surinder Singh). From a legal point of view...
Congratulations. As regards complaining, not many people will have a cause to complain within the first 6 months. So, in a way, you are "lucky" they mishandled your case. Most people dont even hear from the UKBA so nothing to complain about. What was the reason for the refusal and when was the EEA3 ...
MelC, for PR as EUSmiles said, you need to have been legal for 5 years, registration with WRS was the ONLY way someone could have worked legally, thus having worked in breach of the WRS conditions, the period mustn't be counted and the employer should be fined for employing/not following correct pro...
You absolutely should apply, the process will take the usual 3-6months but at the end of it you will get another RC but ensure it is accompanied by the correct letter, which states clearly you have retained right of residence! This letter will not only help you to travel less hassled but also assist...
How do they explain the fact that residence card allows business and employment activities? And as soon as one does what the card allows, he ceases to be a family member? Nonsense, once a family member and confirmed- always a family member (applies only to blood relatives-dependants) From 2000- 2010...
Hi Eirikur, Thank you for your answer. I just spoke to HO and they told me that I can only apply around September or October. (residence card ends up in 30 Oct 2012) I have been married though since May 2007. On the contrary though, my solicitor told me that I can apply in April/May. Where can I fi...
You need to have been married for 3 years in total BEFORE she or yourself (I don't think you would initiate this yourself) initiates the divorce proceedings. This means before she goes to court, fills out a form (called a petition for divorce) and serves it on you. This is the point in time by which...
bluecole2 you should keep you answers to those addressing relevant questions ONLY! So, if they ask you are you working, you can say that you derive your rights from your EEA family member who is working herself/himself. If they ask you questions about your fam member then again, it depends if questi...
I am not sure what you expect me to do, but I think I had said it clearly for all to understand. And I am not going to embark on more explanation regarding what has been said and done. Oh! And thanks for recognising that my wife is hot. I would have had a problem if she is a minger. For the record ...
You should definitely complain. You should also definitely do a SAR: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/navigation/personal-data/ That will give you a copy of your file. Thanks Directive for suggesting I do a SAR, but what benefits will this serve me? I probably know info they've got about me. Do yo...
:D ha ha the problem is, it may work every time without any questions by IOs, when your eea is around, but won't ironically work when you travel alone, as it usually happens :D That is a combination of Murphy's law and Schrödinger's cat as applied for European free movement. I get it with Murphy's ...

please do not be afraid to send them a letter before action, basically a letter explaining the whole story and what you are expecting in compensation. Give them 21 day to reply with a solid and satisfactory offer. Then, if you are not happy with that offer, DO go down or fill out a claim form online...
there is a way to apply without using TLS service. You have to call them and INDICATE that you would prefer a direct application, this way there will be an official from the French Embassy who would accept your application. Another "tip" for those non-EEA nationals with an RC. Go with EUROSTAR!!! It...
...LOOSE vs. LOSE a face... illiterates accusing each other of illiteracy HA...HA...HAAAAAA fysicus was the only one making the correct point. Punjab & Co. do NOT accuse someone of illiteracy if you are full of it yourself. And the other guy eldane just went the wrong way accusing the "Asian culture...
In theory, if you ask for your passport back after three months, they will prioritize processing (where possible) so that you also get back your Residence Card. :) hahaha, I doubt he'd wait for 3 months from now to request it back, that's the whole point, the guy doesn't know whether they got it or...
1. Marriage cert (not necessary as you are NOT meant to have it, but must submit it during the petition and especially that the Decree Absolute clearly states the date of the marriage) , decree absolute and decree nisi ( neither decree nisi is required, only the date of the petition and decree absol...
Call them on 0845 010 5200 (the emergency travel number) and choose the right options to speak to the EU team. They can confirm whether they have or have not received your app. Also, the same number but different options, you could request your passport back for "travel". This way they will have to ...
(My reply to Obie's original thread) This is very interesting, although ridiculous and weird! Imagine a situation where a non-EEA national had studied in the UK for 4 years and then, having gotten married for 1 year, would acquire Permanent Residence? Sounds illogical and, compare this case to the o...
Thank youObie Do you think it will apply to self sufficient pimary carer/parent of EEa child in UK (Chen Visa)? I don't see any reason why it should not! Go for it on the basis of this judgment, you have nothing to lose but only to gain! It could obviously take an appeal to achieve your goal, but h...

Normally it does not have a signature as you send papers to a PO Box. However, you do get an occasional doodle appear in electronic format. This should not be decisive whatever you require this info for as the UKBA can always track the person/people collecting the truck load of applications on the d...
Immediately write to them attaching copies of their bs letter and demand a corrextion. The letter u got should state the exact department and address of who dealt with it. Dont delay, act now! U should then get the correct letter
Should you have enough proof, they may well issue it straightaway. And I would not worry about appealing, even though it sounds scary and stressful, as you are 100% entitled to it, there is no way in a hundred years that you would lose your appeal. You simply need to get a divorce and that's all. Yo...
