You need 18,600pa....Savings can be counted to reduce this but unfortunately the first £16k of saving are disregarded so we'd to know the exact amount.. In order to make up the difference of about £1000 between the job offer and the Minimum Income Requirement, you would need savings of (difference*...

Straight to the point tho, the application is 85 pages long, and not taking into account the extra documents we need to send it's kind of baffling that HO wants a novella per applicant. I'm a non-EEA migrant and when I submitted by first extension application (a concept alien to the EEA Route), the...

Point them to Article 5(3) The host Member State shall not place an entry or exit stamp in the passport of family members who are not nationals of a Member State provided that they present the residence card provided for in Article 10. As a member of the EEA, Norway is also obliged to incorporate EU...

Not sure if later marriage would retrospectively confer nationality on offspring born before marriage, but your colleague should register as a British citizen using Form UKF. The fee for form UKF is £80, jut the fee for attending the citizenship ceremony.

CR001 wrote:at least 40 days before the implementation date.

That is the general rule for amendments to statutory instruments. The Immigration Rules, including fees, are statutory instruments and hence can be changed at any time, provided the changes are published 40 days in advance of them coming into force.

Be aware that unmarried non-EEA durable partners do not have the same rights as non-EEA spouses. For non-EEA durable partners, the EEA Country that you are visiting can choose to examine whether you meet their definition of "durable partner". They are only required to "facilitate" the visiting of no...

Children born outside the UK are expected to be free of immigration control (Page 16 of the Guide MN1 that I linked to above). In other words, ILR before registration. Having said that, there has been a recent success on these forums of a child without ILR being registered because the rest of his fa...

Would application of the new EEA Regulations (in the abstract and not in specific cases) be in scope of the discussion of this thread or should that occur in a separate thread?

Highly recommended. Ideally done with mother's ILR application.

See Pages 14 & 16 of the Guide MN1.

If you apply for British passport, the child will automatically lose the Indian citizenship and will become solely British.

If you want the child to remain a dual British and Indian citizen, apply for an Indian passport and then apply for a CoE-RoA in the Indian passport.

In that case, you do not have any legal residence in the UK. If it makes you feel better, you are lawfully present. I would encourage you to get a private health insurance policy to cover you and all non-UK members of the family and then immediately apply for an EEA(QP) document for all EEA family m...

It won't show up in the SAR. It will need to be disclosed when you are applying for citizenship, because you will need to disclose your immigration history. As they will have that on their system, once it is put cogently in a timeline, they will see that you overstayed between the end of your workin...

What is your immigration status and that of your immediate family (you, your wife and all children) in the UK?

No idea what a lakh is; conversion required. Assuming Indian rupee, rough rule of thumb; for each "lakh", read one thousand pounds sterling. It is a very rough and ready conversion and very imprecise, but handy for mental calculations. To the OP (and to others posting here): the Indian numbering sy...

The date of application does not matter. You can, in theory, apply today. What does matter is convincing the ECO that your parents are visiting and not residing and that they will leave the UK when they said they would. The facts that (a) they have just recently spent five months in the UK, (b) that...

Start here.

Your friend can only sponsor one wife as spouse in the UK. Any other wives will have to apply on their own steam; essentially as single applicants under Tier 2 or 4 or 5.

I do not need health insurance in my country, why do I need here? NHS is OK and it's same in my country free. I don't see why I must pay for insurance if it's free in my country? Mere presence in an EEA country does not amount to residence. The requirements for residence in another EEA country are ...

Be aware that the UK government has tightened the regulation on the Surinder Singh route and expressly states that it does not apply if it is used to get around the UK Immigration Rules. So, if the wife's immigration applications have been rejected twice, the SS route may not do much good either.

Yes.

Have you tried googling it ? When you arrive in Belgium Notification of presence: if you are staying less than three months Although EU/EEA/Swiss nationals do not need a Belgian permit to live, work or study in Belgium for stays of less than three months, they do need to register their presence in B...

the fact that I didn't know about the change in the grace period till after the 14 days passed I was commenting on this statement. What I was highlighting was that it does not matter/is an irrelevancy as to when you became aware of the change of rules. You are assumed to have full knowledge of the ...

Char Bhai = Brother Char; Char ben = Sister Char.

A cover letter is only to help clarify points and/or details which could not be covered in the application itself. if the application is self-explanatory, there is no requirement for a cover letter. Thanks Char bhai for prompt response. As an aside, not everybody on these forums is from the Sub-cont...

What you need (as a minimum) is a) Proof of your EEA citizenship -Your Latvian passport b) Proof that you are exercising treaty rights in the UK -Were you registered for WRS when you started working in the UK? If so, your WRS certificate -Your P60s till date, and salary slips for the current financi...

What is your (the sponsor's) current status in the UK? Are you a British citizen, on ILR, on PBS or on another immigration route?
