Thank you for your answers. I am sorry but I didn't make it clear that she will be living with me in the UK and looking for a job, that is why she will be needing a visa. Can you work with a EEA Family Visa? it has been stated that your wife is not a visa national, she can simply arrive in the UK a...
Hi Guys After reading my helpful topics i thought i would ask for some advice and share my experience I applied for my wifes spouse visa back in April 2011 they rejected in July 2011 I appealled in September and since then I have been waiting for a oral hearing which I have been told is still 2 mon...
They said that the case law of court of justice proves thatthe r alot of loopholes which the legislator has left behind,, What r these loopholes? Do u guys have the answer who are "they"? ECJ case law evolves constantly, I am not so sure its "loopholes" more likely open to inter...
hello everybody, all your conversation is very helpful and i am coming to the point that i must need to put this case on the right track otherwise there will always be so many hidden difficulties all the times..... I think you are quite right, and I am sure you were hoping for a very simple answer,...
Ok I may be a bit simplistic here, but would it be possible to remarry in the Uk or Germany, so the marriage is valid. The past years would certainly qualify for a durable relationship simple is most often just the best? which was why i said for the OP to deal with the marriage issue ~ if the OP ma...
...It’s all playing with words really... And playing with how serious you can take the European "Union". What sense does it make that some Schengen-embassies say that you may enter Schengen, while others say you may not. Example >>Lithuania vs. Poland<< If entry-requirements to Schengen a...
Hiya all, Just a little question I would like an answer too :) I am a British Citizen (UK passport holder ONLY but have ID Card for another EU Country due to dual nationality). If I apply for EEA FP for my spouse as an EU National ,once I arrive in the UK do I need to apply for 5 year residency per...
thanks to all of you for helping us out and giving such detailed replies,,,,,,, so do you feel that we should first face the german authorities again and ask them to reconsider our Residence card as we do not qualify on the basis of marriage but they should provide the card on the basis of a durabl...
I very much welcome contrary views to mine. I accept this is not a simple issue with a simple answer, and might involve a bit of fighting. We have to take this matter step by step. 1. It is settled law that validity of marriage is determined by Lex Loci celebrationis as opposed to domiciled, theref...
have you had the Info yet? Yep - should have posted the "overwhelming" reply: ...I regret to have to inform you that the documents you require come under the system of exceptions provided for in the European legislation related to access to documents , and that we cannot therefore provide...
I believe you should have challenged the ECO's refusal. A polygamous marriage is valid in Pakistan, therefore even without a decree absolute, it is a valid marriage, as it is considered as such in Pakistan. The marriage was not conducted in the UK, but rather in a country where it is valid. The UK ...

Dear all, I need a legal advice to apply for my family (wife and son, 4 years old) the EEA family permit for UK from Germany. I am a British citizen, my wife is a Pakistani national , my family came to Germany on visit visa on 01st January 2012, after then my wife and son applied for the residency ...
I believe the 2 years rule was created by UKBA purely for internal consumption. They claim the 2 years rule is a benchmark, but in some refusals i have seen, it looks more like a law, or a Statutory requirement or treaty requirement. And this has to be wrong, without a doubt in my not so perfect mi...

Durable relationship is a "Community Law Term" which cannot be defined by national legislation. National law requiring a relationship to have subsisted for two years and cohabitation during this period, are taking a restrictive approach to this broad term. To determine whether or not a re...
Hi Mel, we were refused on 2 grounds 1st my wife didnt have the required english mark (she did ielts and we thought she had enough marks) and 2nd not enough proof on contact. We did appeal but as expected they simply dismissed it because of the english :\ I have been searching and trying to find th...

Thanks for the reply. I actually forgot to ask about that regulation change. Can somebody give me any concrete details. I read on here some proposal to raise the income to between £18-£24K a year. Is this going to be law in the next 3-4 months? I also realise that the Council Tax would be the full ...
Surely they have to give dates when these things are going to be changed? Or people like the original poster and I could be affected with applications that fall between these changes not knowing the dates they come into effect. Which would mean our applications being refused. For example if I decid...
Hi all, Who can apply for work permit and how long is the visa for? does work permit means a family member under EU regulations(when u r living with EEA spouse but not married) and is it count for 5 yrs residency towards PR? spike, im getting a tad confused as to what your situation actually is fro...
