Thankyou so much once again Obie! This is certainly proving that I have been misled about things countless times. I will be travelling to another city over the next couple of days, we are thinking of trying to start a guesthouse there to keep all of our options open. I will be back soon no doubt to ...

Thanks once again Obie, I do remember looking in this direction before, I haven't found the relevant information yet but from memory it is something like... a citizen of any other country aside from the UK, so if I was German/French etc I could do this to move to the UK with my wife. Its a real pain...

Thanks a lot Obie for your reply. I had previously looked into going this route but was under the impression that we had to live in an EU country for at least two years together before getting to the UK? You are saying that she would be able to gain access to any EU country with me providing we coul...

Thanks a lot for all the help so far. Really appreciated! As if by coincidence the visa application was returned today, with the visa being denied. Neither of us are working.

Thanks a lot everyone for your replies! I have been having a good think about it all with the wife. I think what would be a good idea would be to take her to the UK on a tourist visa and then return here with her and then apply for the residency visa. Is it possible to apply for a residency visa at ...

One further note, to save me trying to get my head around it... Is it possible for me us to apply for the EEA residence card? My understanding after reading it a few times is that it is only valid to European Nationals who are not from the UK? If I am mistaken then I believe it would be very easy to...

Hi All, I have searched throughout and have not found any answers. We would be grateful for anybody to take the time to read this and advise us on the route to take. I met my wife in February 2008 on skype, but we only have proof of email from July 2008. I came to The Philippines on October 7 2008 a...
