It depends on your history as well. From personal experience they once did even while returning with spouse. It nothing you should worry about though.

More likely it will take 14 days. It was in my case with the French. But you never know.

Just thinking if anyone has actually thought of what consequences may arise for both EEA and Non EEA family member seeking PR should Scotland vote yes for independence. Considering that Scotland may have to apply to rejoin the EU as an independent country. The scenario are as follows: EEA or Non EEA...

Surely not end of the world. But weldone for standing up and educating them. Nothing will change if we keep quite when things like this happens. The more people that complain the more the likely they'll get the message. Better still, for future reference politely tell them they may not stamp your pa...

By writing a letter to TLS, you probably waived any right to fee refund. That was most likely the point of the letter. You say it was not damaged on submission, in which case how did it get damaged? They said its damaged, tomorrow i am gonna visit TLS and collect the passport in person. When i logg...

That's right Directive/2004/38/EC

Here is an update for the Forum. I hope this will encourage people worried about travelling (particularly to France) with their French eea spouse do so without a visa. As I have done on 2 occasions to date. Just returned from holiday in France with my French spouse and glad it all went well in regar...

So what does it mean for EU nationals and their non EU family members if the UK choses to leave the EU? What would it mean for those EU citizens already exercising treaty rights here?

If you got a free visa under the terms of directive 2004/38/ec, then you are supposed to be accompanying or joining your wife. If not, you may need a visa in your own right - pay the fee and submit the required evidence. I don't agree as I once applied for a Schengen visa in Austria embassy last su...

Iv sent a complaint to the UKBA email and also to ROB but no answer

May be it's time you'd threaten to sue them. First do you keep copy of your application? In other to make reference or show to your MP and did you send all the required documents to ukba.

Sara, guys, listen. about the interviews in liverpool. believe me i know for a fact that UKBA interviewing immigration officers read posts on these forums. if they see you asking about possible questions, how will this look to them? They dont have to be spy, theys can just match yo use it in userna...

So you got to keep at your MP 3-4week for update. And make sure your MP is aware of the 6 months regulation. They said it's 9 months for Romanians and Bulgarians, It's over a year now like you said. So make sure MP is fully aware and keep pushing they're there to serve yours and others people's inte...

Your EU spouse should make a complaints to the ukba. Must also quote the relevant 6 month rule in directive 2004/38/ec. Also get your MP involve. If your relationship is genuine which I do not doubt you shouldn't have waited this long to seek advice. I started getting my mp involved from 2 week afte...

I believe I noted this was a 'scenario' not necessarily mean event has occurred. (MOD EDIT: if you had said, hypothetical scenario, your intentions would have been clearer; and indead if there had been other markers to your intentions, but there were none. The post as written could be misunderstood,...

Thanks for this responses guys, I am in UK now, just planning ahead in the event such event occurs. To have to apply for a family permit when already had been previously issued a RC card is absurd in my opinion. There should be a quick and stressless provision to let a non-eea family member be able ...

Hi guys! SEASONS GREETINGS to you all. I was looking through UK high commission's website in Nigeria and notice they are no information on what to do in the event you loose your non EU-passport and what to return to UK. Here is a scenario; As a non EU family member of an EU- national with a residenc...

I suppose the institution can give you the answer to your question. Why don't you get in-touch with them and explain your situation. That's what I have done recently myself and perhaps you may have to apply and submit further information in other for them to assess the situation and should be able t...

I do not think there are any time limit you have to live in UK before applying for a provisional license as long as you're a UK residence. Although it is stated that 3 years of address details is required and I suppose that could be any address 1 had lived. Below are info fund relating to this matte...

Just to point out another option: the Open University has considerably lower fees and very flexible schedules to fit around your work. Granted, it is still a lot of money, but you save several thosands a year compared to traditional universities as well as a costly move with all the fuss. If you kn...

Hi guy, once again I have come to enquire about something important that could be useful to other or future members of this forum. Whether this section of the forum is the right place to post this topic I don't know. So please pardon me if it is not. But what I believe is that this topic in some way...

I was wondering if there are anyone willing to state there experience on refusal of british citizenship base on convictions here. My friend N was told and show some paper at the checking centre (where you take your bc app to be checked for a fee before sending off to ukba) that he will have to wait ...

Good for you, but I will point out that you were not undocumented, you had an article 10 residence card, which allows you to travel visa free if accompanied by your spouse. Thank you for the update and the story. Yes, you were documented, and you should not have had an issue anyway Glad it went wel...

Hi guys, thank for your response. It was I little too late. However, i'm please to say I travelled to France without a visa. The only issue was the unintelligent border guard placing an exit stamp in my passport. Arrived at the airport went through security, got to boarding gate calm but shaky insid...
