Great, so a few months earlier than we had originally anticipated.

The October 2013 is the date stamped in her passport across her Entry Visa, when we entered UK.
So until October 2018, we work and wait.

Hi JellyBean,

Thanks for the reply, seems we are in similar situation.
I never thought about the alternative "Family Spouse Visa"

Also, as we entered UK in October 2013, is it 5 years from that date, that my wife can apply?

Thanks

Gra

Hi all, My non EU wife came with me to UK in October 2013. via SS route, and got her residence documentation (sticker in passport) in March 2014 She applied and got her 5 year residence visa in her non EU passport in March 2014. Her 5 year visa expires March 2019, when we plan for citizenship applic...

Thank you Chris,

So when you say she can apply directly for citizenship after the 5 years are up, I guess she must still do the "Citizenship " test ?

Yes, my error.

ILR (Indefinite leave to remain)

Hi all, My non-EEA wife got her EEA2 vignette in her passport in March 2014 It says the renewal date is March 2019 5 years from start. I am sure she needs to complete EEA4 at the end of the 5 years , correct ? Providing she has adhered to the "time in UK" requirement, is it just a matter of completi...

We did very similar. I exercised my treaty rights in Germany. We applied in Paris for my wife's visa. It comes in the form of a full page visa in her Chinese passport The name of the visa, (The heading across the top) is UK ENTRY CLEARANCE PLACE OF ISSUE - Paris VALID FROM - xx/10/13 VALID UNTIL - x...

We are off on holiday again soon, this time probably to Portugal for a week. Like you, I am UK citizen, and my wife is Chinese. My wife has a 5 years vignette in her Chinese passport, The wording is RESIDENCE CARD OF A FAMILY MEMBER OF AN EEA NATIONAL, EMPLOYMENT AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES ALLOWED. The...

Hi, thanks for the pointed reply.

I have searched, and can not find just what I am looking for

Hi all, Hope this is in the right forum, if not, my most humble apologies. My wife is non EU. We both live and work in UK. She has a 5 year UK residence vignette in her passport, which expires 2019. If we decided on a European holiday together, would she need a visa to visit France (or any EU countr...

Sent the huge pile of payslips.

Don't leave any thing to "assumption"

Hi all, Just a short update, to effect some sort of closure on this thread. Applying for the visa at the German embassy in Beijing was quite easy, the £6.00 was refunded the following day. You can not submit the application without the payment reference. It's not right, but that's how it is. We arri...

Hello all, First holiday outside UK with a non-Eu wife. Just a brief few lines to let you all know, we had a "no problem" on our exit from UK, and entry into Turkey, (Marmaris) and a re-entry back into UK. My Chinese wife, like every one else, was required to get a Turkish visa, on line, no problem....

Hi,

Yes traveling together.

So We should bring our marriage cert, as a precaution.

We don't expect ant drama or hassle, but one never knows, so I thought it a good idea to throw it open to the wider more knowledgeable folk here.

Thanks

GW

Hi All, My Chinese wife now has the 5 year UK residence vignette in her Chinese passport, after arriving in UK with me last year via SS. and completing EEA2 application. We have got our Turkish visa's and have our holiday Turkish booked. Will we expect any immigration drama, or check-in desk hassle ...

I am also thinking why you have refered twice to "Croatian"

What is you both nationalities, and can you not find a H.O. reference to your own nationality?

And the point being?

See similar discussion - here . Also see Q1 & Q5 in the Citizenship FAQs - Common Questions - Read before posting . If BC is the goal, I would skip EEA4 and apply directly for BC after completing 5 years of residence in the UK. . Thanks Jambo. Turning back to the link you provided, and the subseque...

Thanks every one. We arrived back in UK, in October 2013, after I worked in Germany. Now back in UK, we both have jobs, and are rather pleased with our progress. The Residence confirmation, is by way of a vignette, in my non-EEA wife's passport. As I understand the process, I need be a worker, or be...

Hi all, We ( I UK citizen) were successful in getting a EEA Family Permit visa fro my Chinese wife, while I was working in Germany for 3 months (Surinder Singh) We then entered UK together with no problems. A month after we arrived in UK, we completed the EEA2 form for a residence card for my wife. ...

Generally EEA-FP require more than just this, this is why I questioned if just a Family member visa was issued, to initially enter into Europe. I believe you are missing the basics. EEA Family Permit is a UK only entry clearance intended for non-EEA nationals who are family members of EEA nationals...
