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. ...

Hi, Im from Northern Ireland (uk) passport holder. Just yesterday my Thai wife was refused a settlement visa for UK on the grounds of adequate maintenance. I am disabled an on D.L.A and although i am exempt from financial obligations i had to meet the maintenance.I meet this easy however They have ...

Hi all, Who else applied in early December? We sent off my wife's (we are married) application on 4th December. 2013 with a Postal order, to ensure no payment issues or problems. My wife received her CoA with permission on 9th December 2103, so we were quite impressed with the turn around in reply. ...

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...

Don't think Surinder Singh applies to me..

OK,

I wrongly assumed your husband was British.

Thank you Jambo :D So I understand about ILR v PR , it's a bit more clear now. Further to that, does that mean that because my non-EEA wife entered UK with me, via SS route, that she can apply for naturalisation (British citizenship), after 3 years,... but it still takes the 5 years, as she needs PR...

Hi liu, Are you asking about the Surinder Singh process, or are you planning to do EEA2 in UK? For Surinder Singh I think applications from self sufficient applicants has very low application. By far the large majority will have the EEA national doing some employed work in another EU country. Rate o...

Hi all, Just a little "Forward Thinking" I husband = UK citizen Her Non EU citizen. We got married in 2012. We got EEA-FP UK entry clearance back in October 2013, while in France/Germany. Then in December 2013, after we arrived in UK, and settled into our new house, we sent off the "EEA2" applicatio...

When were the first "£55.00" applicants charged?

Some time middle 2013 I guess.

GW

Has any one challenged the £55.00 cost yet?

Or have they just sucked up to it, and paid.

I guess, in the full picture of things, £55.00 isn't that much.

But it all adds up.

GW

Matricol, . . So if non-EEA folk get the CoA with the words "Entitled to Work" then I guess that means they are allowed to work, and make money Then on the other flip side some if folk get the CoA with the words "Not Entitled to Work" then I guess that means they are Not allowed to work, and make mo...

Just ignore this section. It has nothing to do with EEA applications and is there just because someone in the HO did a lazy copy and paste from another type of application. . . Perhaps UKBA leave it in the EEA application to create confusion and concern. ? A large authority such as UKBA should have...

Yes we got written refusal and permission to appeal. Main reason for returning is because my Dad will be having a bypass soon and I want to be around. Probably wont stay more than 6 months. Obviously better if we can both work while there. They told us that there's nothing stopping her trying to en...

Hi all,

Any updated confirmation of working emails?

GW

Hi Ola, Just got the standard recorded message, no one to actually speak to. I sent off a couple of emails, but alas, no reply to them either. Perhaps I should just send £55 postal order off, then at least I get a reply. Should I send to Durham, where the application was posted to, or Liverpool whe...

Hi Guys, I have submitted my application for EEA2 after Marriage with EU national. Applications sent: 28/11/2013 Application received there: 29/11/2013 HO haven't deducted my fee yet. So,I haven't received any acknowledgement as well. Please can anybody advise me, whether do i need to contact HO or...

Do you think I should send an email, to ask the current position of application. A point to remember is that this is just a "residence confirmation" as we have done all the hard leg work in Germany/France, when we applied for an Surinder Singh EEA-FP visa, which was granted. According to the UKBA we...

What should I do?

Send a £55.00 postal order with a covering letter?

GW

We both arrived in UK on 22nd October 2013, from Dunkirk. Her is Non - EEA citizen from China. I am UK citizen. We therefore used the Surinder Singh, route, where my wife applied fro EEA-FP in Paris, which was granted, hence, whey we are both in UK now. So all documents passports, etc, sent off tod...

Only your EU nationals employment in the host country (state), as in your case Ireland, matters for EEA-FP. When the EEA-FP is granted, you should both travel to UK together, this makes it much easier, than if your planning to meet them here in UK. Once in UK, the EU national can work, or not work, ...

Hi all, I guess that previously where the UKBA website said "It makes no difference if the only reason the EEA citizen etc,,,etc,,,etc,,," to the opposite end of the spectrum, where the EEA citizen is now expected (unlawfully) to relinquish his abode in his home state, ie, to sell his UK home, and b...
