Same scenario here. Me and my British wife have been here in Germany for almost a month and half. I was given a Family Member of an EU citizen visa. On arrival in Germany we had to find a place(which took about 2 weeks).After we got the rental agreement, we went to the Stadamt for Registration. Once...

OK, so after reading all this I'm starting SS in 2 weeks,what are the possible outcomes/sceninarios if the non-eu family members receives the host member states residence card before the referendum?

What would happen to people who are already in their host state or are going to be in their host state before the referendum?
Surely, if they have been been issued Schengen visas or Residence cards on the basis of freedom of movement,they can continue with their SS route under the current rules ?

Sorry if this sounds stupid but what changes are being made to SS route??

Casa wrote:The referendum is only a vote giving opinions. The changes won't be immediate, if there are any at all.

So in the event of an exit,when would the treaties cease to be applicable?

So would it be wise to do a SS in 2016 if the referendum takes place in June/July or even autumn?
Any setbacks/suggestions??

Dear members:
I'd like to know If you are paid in cash would a letter from the employer confirming the employment plus monthly payslips be sufficient enough to apply for FP or do we still have to provide the bank statements showing the money coming in??
Any thoughts anyone ??
Thanks in advance

I remember reading one of the posts where a person was refused a FP because the income earned was less than 150GBP per week. Perhaps,the Home Office is applying the "Minimum Earning Threshold for EEA workers" to SS applicants. Now, whether they should apply this to SS applicants is another question?...

Dear members,
I would like to know if a person is still allowed to work after the EEA2 application has been refused but is in the process of appeal.
Note that the COA issued at the time of EEA2 application gave the right to work.
Any answers would be appreciated.
Regards.

Thanks for your help, so as I understand it isn't necessary to register the birth with the UK authorities and with the added time in this step won't speed up the overall process. Does anyone know as I have been British from birth with British parents/grandparents etc. should this whole process be q...

I am familiar with the 'service provider' that you mention. If you feel you are unable to find a property and job then i'd say possibly they are an option to consider , otherwise your free to ask for help on here. Hi St244, With regards to the 'service provider' I can see some banners going on this...

Technically yes although in Surinder Singh cases, my recommendation would be to go for Family Permit to ensure you got the required documents and satisfy the HO. You don't want to get refused for a EEA2 application after you moved back. Would an EEA2 application for S.S cases be successful if someo...

Congrats.
I was wondering if a RC from member state is necessary in order to apply for a FP or EEA2. If it isn't would it make any difference to FP or EEA2 decision made by UKVI?

"I'd also like to say that other people who want to do SS route consider doing it before the end of 2016 due to uncertainty of referendum result." Apart from a few months difference, your comment concurs with Wanderer's post :? I guess your right in a way but at the same time I don't see the SS rou...

Wanderer wrote:I'd say that the SS door will be firmly shut one way or another in the next 12 months...

I disagree. Surinder Singh door can't be shut as long as the UK remains part of EU/EEA.

If its Surinder Singh route you want to do then you need to act fast as the referendum would most likely be held in 2017 and no body knows what would happen after referendum. I'd also like to say that other people who want to do SS route consider doing it before the end of 2016 due to uncertainty of...

The regualtions regarding continuity of residence are quite vague.
It's still not clear whether a person who stays out of the country for a period of upto 12 months is allowed to take subsequent absences of up to 6 months in future without affecting the continuity of residence.

But Regulation 3(2)(c) does not seem to be ambiguous . It appears to provide for one absence of up to 12 months. Further absence will appear to break the continuity of residence. Also going by the caselaws, he may pray in aid to Babajanov . Thanks for reply Obie. It seems to me that an absence of 1...

Dear members, A friend of mine had his EEA4 refused on the basis of continuity of residence. His timeline is following: EEA2 issued: Jan 2010 Feb 2011-Dec 2011:Moved to US for studies (11 month absence). August 2012-October 2012: Left UK for a holiday. Jan 2013-March 2013: Left UK for a holiday. Mar...

Dear Members, I was wondering if Teaching English Online is sufficient to prove self-employment in the following case. 1.The clients exist in Asia. 2.There is documentary evidence such as invoices, contact details for customers, self employment registration with the authorities, bank statements to s...

Provided of course it is of economic value.

Thankyou very much for the reply

Dear members,
I would like to know if a person would be classed as a worker if he/she is doing a paid/unpaid internship for a duration of about 5 months.
Any replies would be highly appreciated.

This was posted on one of fb groups: This is from an email that one of my friends received from Europa advice after asking if they could travel to the UK without applying for FP. They traveled to the UK on New Years eve without any problems. Didn't even get asked any questions at the boarder. Just s...

Thanks for your reply. A friend of mine had his FP approved under student category recently even though it was refused initially.So i guess it's possible to succeed under C-456/12. I was wondering what documents would be required if someone wanted to apply under self-sufficient category? Also: http:...
