Dear All, do we qualify? Thanks for any help in advance. Yes you do qualify to be issued a Schengen visa for France free of charge, on top of that, you do not need to submit other than copy of your passport, your marriage certificate and your spouses passport. Perhaps evidence that you will be trav...

Contact UKBA

Hi all, On the VFS website on the documents required page it says an applicant must include an "attested copy of passport" of the inviting person to the Schengen country. Can anyone explain what this is and how important it is? Thank you! That would probably mean by to be attested by the immigratio...

I do not think this falls under discrimination act, but I do know nobody should change your name without your legal consent you should pursue the case with the consulate with the help of a polish lawyer. Note that even if your case happens to fall within the scope of the EU anti discrimination law, ...

Some times it doesn't take up to 3 weeks, 2 weeks at most, yes follow the instruction on the website.

I have a feeling you will be successful. Whenever it appears someone meet the requirements they tend to approve it. As there were no disagreement as to what document is necessary or not, it signifies that they will also approve it without problem. That's my experience about the Schengen countries on...

See UKBA Document 5. WILL A CHILD WHO IS BORN IN THE UNITED KINGDOM ON OR AFTER 1 JANUARY 1983 BE A BRITISH CITIZEN? (SEE CHART A) A child will be a British citizen when he or she is born if one of his or her parents (see Note 4) is: • a British citizen (it does not matter how the parent concerned ...

Do as Jambo has said, they do not accept MN1 application for children who are already British citizens.

When did your husband acquire PR? when was your baby born? If your husband acquired PR before the child was born you do not need to register the child as a British citizen as he is British from Birth.

You can apply for passport with evidence that father has acquired PR, it should be sufficient.

This post is related to this thread in the sticky, http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... 4&start=60 Vinny locked a similar thread yesterday, it will be better to continue on the sticky thread.

The receipts from landlord will also add to your list of documents, you seems to have enough evidence for the application. I would not worry about having fewer bill , if worried you can write a letter explaining that most of your bills have been included in the rent.

Good luck with your application.

You have been eligible to apply for Naturalisation 2 years ago have you? Yes, you are a family member of an EU/EEA citizen from the day your father receives his certificate of Naturalisation. OP isn't talking about being a family member of an EU citizen, neither did he express the father's wish to ...

You mean certified copy? I hope it goes well for you, did you provide the hotel reservation in the end

Thank you Frei for getting back to me, so without the EEA2 I cant work ? and if i can work is there is any proof to show them that I can work without residence card ? :) It will be hard to prove to an employer, that you have the right to work in the UK, I will suggest you get on with submission of ...

As your spouse is currently employed, you can submit an EEA2 application to the UKBA for confirmation of your rights, It will be valid for 5 years, and it takes 6 month to process.

The forms can be downloaded on UKBA website, the required documents are stated on the form and website.

Your legality in the UK depends on the activities of your EEA spouse, what is your spouse currently doing in the UK?

UKBA states on their website, that residence card is application is not mandatory but you might have difficulties obtaining job, opening bank account among other things.

Schengen rules doesn't necessarily means your first point of entry should be the country that has issued your visa.

Congratulations Flatpack.

They knew all about my history that i had traveled to Philippines before we met, and made some most ridiculous allusion to that without actually explaining what it all meant. Like I had no right to visit Philippines before I met my wife :-) Pablito if you have some savings you can get your wife a s...

You should contact the registry and ask them if a letter confirming who you are from the embassy of your country will be accepted as they have also confirmed from UKBA about having your passport.

For Ireland , this is not an issue , you could travel together and or be joining the spouse, it is not a problem.

I think it is always good to be cautious..................... one can quote all the relevant law with regard to freedom of movement but if the airline officials or the immigration people say you need a visa then what are you to do? I don't like what one poster has termed what we are discussing as '...

You have been advised to do so, why haven't you done that yet?

Jambo, in the case people who got residence card via Surrinder, when would they be eligible to apply for naturalization? Would it be after 3 years of living in the UK? even though they have not completed 5 years of residence or it will be after achieving PR as they must be exempted from immigration ...
