I suspect that it's due to the fact that a UK driving licence can in some cases be used to verify identity. Something that the HO want to prevent for someone who has no legal residence. It is rational explanation. However, DL primarily is a driving licence, i.e. THE PERMIT TO DRIVE A MOTOR-PROPELLE...

For Citizenship it is necessary to show 5 years of residence, in accordance with the regulation, such that the requirement of Schedule 2(2) of the EEA Regulation is engaged and after that, 1 year of continuous residence during which there is no requirement for treaty rights to be exercised, and dur...

noajthen@ thanks for your reply could you please share any updated story of surrinder singh success story ? You could start here: http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/eea2-surinder-singh-3-month-success-story-t169701.html?hilit=surinder%20success - but do keep abreast of the late...

Oh, How I miss Northern Irish rant.

It is all about being protestant / catholic, Sinn Fein and all that gimmicks. Some people did not grow over their totemism mentality. How is this ever relevant to the immigration decisions whether to relinquish one citizenship in favour of another?! [sigh].

Borat Sagdiyev was supposed to be Kazakh :wink: and was filmed in Romania. hence, the connection! On the subject, I lived in Sweden, where ability to get a personnumer (equivalent of NINO) requires identity and immigration checks. Once done and ID issued, I do not need to scan and email my passport...

My ad-hoc employer of many years went down that route to check my right of work after 10 odd years. I genuinely need a fake Romanian passport in the name of Borat Sagdyev.

I always thought that driving licence is to confer ability to drive a vehicle. How did it get attached to your status? (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2014/22/part/3/chapter/)???? So, if you were a student and then left UK, they going to revoke your licence? If you had a licence and became undo...

PS I leave names in. We should know ones who are in charge but not sure themselves of what in. Details removed - kindly refrain from posting such names. Whatever your thoughts about this official (& I'm beginning to get the picture) he is only a functionary in a bigger machine; he is also unable to...

Stanic why did your wife not renew her residence card. Under national or citizenship law, the state can impose any restrictions on nationality as they see fit. Remember it is at the Ministers discretion that a certificate of naturalisation is issued. If you have applied for Permanent Residence Card...

parade of stupidity continues (oh, how I miss my second home!!!): My response to (stupidity Number 1): With all due respect, it appears that this position does not take ECJ Judgement in C‑423/12 Reyes vs. Migrationverket (16 January 2014) into consideration. This is surprising because it clearly con...

btw,

permitted family members are not direct family members, right?

It will only be a matter of time where a serious case goes to ECHR picking one of these issues and end up being rewarded costs/ compensation for such breach by the Irish authority/ government body. It's a shame that people don't think about the Tax payers wallet before structuring such things. yes,...

...Innocent??? If I was a judge in the court of stupidity I would find him guilty on all charges )))) funny, if not sad. Ok, so reading Reyes would indicate that Ireland would accept them as my dependents? Is this in any way contingent on their employment/ not engagement into employment while stile...

Name removed to protect the innocent. Indeed. Case law: Reyes : Court stated that family members cannot be required to prove that they have searched for a job in the country of origin and that whether they will eventually manage to find employment in the host Member State is an irrelevant factor wi...

about what exactly they do. Unless I am terribly wrong. Any comments? My email: This is further to the EU1A application in relation to dependent family members of an EEA national. I am Irish national and reside in UK. Upon returning to Ireland, as per guidance, I will be treated as an EEA national f...

For permitted family member, the minister has imposed a new requirement , which is that, the relationship should not have been established for the objective of seeking residence rights in the state or in memberstate . So they could refuse if they think it is for Surinder singh . Hi Obie, Good Eveni...

I apply for a PR confirmation in the summer. Upon issuing a PR my dependent family members become dependent family members of a permanently residing EEA citizen. In this case, the absence of an EEA sponsor for less than 2 years, not 6 months, will have no repercussions for their residence in UK. Is...

The point is pretty clear, and I have less concerns for her ability to clear immigration than for the ability to convince Ryanair visa checking desk. My experiences of com...

Hello guys, there is a bit of uncertainty here and we need some of your help. My relative has a EEA RC issued by UK (article 10, a dependent direct relative). She will fly to Dublin where I meet her and we drive to Belfast. I was not able to find a link to a Timatic tool to verify this, but I do hav...

Can I try to guess the country of your residence if you don't tell us?!

The naturalisation and Immigration Service of the Department of Justice and Equality has announced some changes to EU law, one of which I find unlawful. It is most welcomed that all documents regarding treaty rights, should be copied as opposed to original. This is welcomed as some EU nationals are...

@ASBO its really confusing if the lituanians are asking for such a long list of documents for your parents to travel without you to schengen area.and also they are holding a article 10 resident card issued by another EU country which is the basic thing they need to travel without any visa. Hey, you...
