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...

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 ...

Scenario: Lost passport abroad

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.

Well done, I guessed you have single handedly succeeded in convincing the Lithuanian embassy in London to change their stand in regards eea family member free movement right.

People like you and many other on the forum are very much needed in solvit, eu commission etc.
