Sorry. The person who called me went on to state that: In order to qualify for the EEA family permit, I, the EEA citizen, should still be resident in the member state and returning immediately to the UK. She said that she got the impression the the ECO thought we moved to Azerbaijan to live and then...

Just had a call from the embassy. I told my wife to kick off at the embassy, which she did. They had to call the police to remove her. I then phoned the embassy, visa section was closed. can only call between 1000 and 1100. I explained a situation but my call credit ran out as he was talking. Anyway...

I will post it as soon as I get a clear view of it. It is so stupid! I quoted the directive on letters and emails to them and even provided snap shots of their own documentation guidelines which are posted on their website!

Are applications assessed by locals or diplomats in an embassy abroad?

Yes - when you finish employment you get a P45.

Signed Conract
Pay slips
P45
Tax credit certificate

Application submitted on 7 November 2012 Got an email to collect documents today. When to collect and they have refused the entry visa! They have also placed a black stamp in the back of my wife's passport noting the refusal. Saying with did not provide suitable evidence.They also said that I cannot...

Hi Directive, thanks for the reply. Yes - Our child is British. But the fact she does not have a UK passport and an Irish birth cert, at the moment, she is only in my wife's passport (Azerbaijani) So thechnically, does that not mean at this moment in time she is Azerbaijani? I was born and bread in ...

Hi everyone. I am a UK national. I was living in Ireland from Dec 11 to end of September 12 with my non-eu wife. We arrived together and we left together. At the start of September 12 we had our first child together. While in Ireland my wife applied for her Residence Card and it was granted in July ...

We got the visit visa becuase at the time my wife only had a temporary 6 month Stamp 4 resident card.

We have not applied for the RC in UK becuase we do not live in the UK and currently have no plans to do so.

When we do decide to go back to the UK we will avail the Surinder Singh route.

Hi there. Please see my previous post ( http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=90718&highlight= ) This will tell you everything you have to know. I had all the questions you may think about and I have answered them all here. I also have other posts which you may be interested in so do a se...

Hi everyone, does anyone have any experience in this? I am a UK citizen, exercising EU free movement rules as laid down in EU Directive 2004/38/EC as a worker in Ireland. Non-EU Wife is here living with me and has been since we arrive. We arrived in Ireland in December and I have been working since....

That's correct. I am a British citizen and my wife is non-eu. Currently in Ireland working.

That's a relief though. Thought I'd missed the boat then.

So - there are new regulation now applicable to EEA applications. Sorry - I'm not good at understanding these documents, they do confuse me. I am currently living in Ireland with my non-eu spouse. Does that mean when we wish to go back to the UK, get an EEA family permit, after 5 years she will not ...

1 thing. My with does have a 5 years valid Irish Residents card. Would she have to hand this in when and if we go to Baku. We might go but we have not decided.

As this will have EU FAM on it, we can use it to enter the UK in the future, visa free and then apply for the correct EEA family permit?

Yeah - but in Ireland, while they are processing your residence card (they take the full 6 months) they issue you with a temporary residence card stating Stamp 4, not EU FAM so this is not recognised as the correct EU FAM permit. Hence the reason why we got the visa for UK. Turns out an added bonus ...

My wife does have a tyce C visit visa for 6 months in her passport. We are going tomorrow for a visit. The visa states accompany EU spouse "my name"

This is what you're saying as entered under European Law, no?

Yeah - been working full time over here since arrived in December 2011 Cheers thanks for the info. Do you know the answer to this one? If we decide to go to my wife's home country after living in Ireland, can we use the Singh rule to then come back to the UK together. Say if we stayed there for 3-4 ...

Hi everyone Just looked over the new UKBA immigration rules and legislation. Just wondering would these apply to the EEA route applications? Currently living in Ireland with Non EU wife who has Irish residence card, UK citizen, exercising EU treaty rights as in EU Directive 2004/38/EC (might have wr...

I thought about that but they will most probably check for a UK Entry visa when boarding the plan in Azerbaijan. They probably wouldn't comprehend the fact the baby has another passport with then not recognising dual citizenship. I'm not trying to shoot everything down you say by the way :) I apprec...

Lucapooka - Thanks for the advice. Really though, I don't think I would want to risk taking the baby out of the EU without an EU passport. I've dealt with the British Embassy in Baku before and they have never been a good experience. Any ideas on the boarding with going through immigration with one ...

Hi there, I have a question and wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation. I am the a UK citizen (by birth) and my wife is an Azerbaijani citizen. We are expecting a baby, due in September. We will be getting the baby a UK passport. We will also have the baby put in my wife's Azerbaijani pa...

Yeah - Well the baby is not born yet. So would we tell them now that she is pregnant or when she has had the baby?

MsPita - Search my name in posts. I have a detailed post with my experienced which are positive. It may help you.

Thanks a lot. I must admit. I have been impressed overall with life in Dublin, in terms of immigration. Email requests/questions to INIS have a turn around of within 24 hours. Written responses/documentation are dealt with/responded to/returned within 5 working days. Initial application for the visa...

Hi Everyone, Might seem like a trivial question but here goes. Whenever INIS write to you they are clearly pushing the fact that the onus is on the applicant to report any change of circumstance whilst the application is being processed. We started the application on 3 January 2012 and have provided...
