Dar man there was an ECJ ruling called Surinder Singh ruling that is currently being implemented in EU law, which essentially makes provision for community worker or self-employed person to return with their family member to their home country using EU rule after having exercised EU treaty rights in...

I see no reason, why they should have to disclose any information to anyone other than a sexual partner or someone they are about to enter into sexual intercourse with, who they are oblige to tell by law. A country can ask for those information from a public health (financial implication aspect), bu...

See this information on the countries whose citizens they do TB health checks for.

South Africa is not one of them at present.

TB is a Airborne contagious disease, whiles HIV is not.

That form is just to establish you immigration status and entitlement to Tax credit. I do not think you should loose much sleep over it

As an EU national living with your spouse in Finland, you are both allowed to stay anyway, with or without the Greek Acknowledgment document. Even if your go to the Finnish authority, no harm will be done. Remember, her right to stay there exist from you. So long as you are there with her and meet a...

That is not rocket science, even my smart 10 years old brother was able to provide me an interpretation in clear English, when i asked him what he understood from it. I gathered they are using the fact that in the ECJ ruling in Diatta's Case, the judges stated that until the divorce absolute is issu...

Yes mate, you can apply for the minor sibling, provided they are living with their Irish sibling in the same household in Ireland.

See This Thread.

Excellent stuff. You must be thrilled and overjoyed.

Congratulations to you guys. Success at last. Your effort and determination certainly did not go in vain.

Immediately when your circumstances change and it get acknowledged by the Irish Immigration services, you will receive a stamp 4. Why don't you apply for a course when you come in, and probably do it until the 2 years click. That is another legal and legit pathway, or might it not appeal to you. The...

Stamp 3 is usually issued to dependant of work permit holders.

Stamp 4 will award you an immediate right to work without needing to apply for a work permit.

Difficult_Guy, unfortunately, as John eloquently stated, the UKBA don't see things that way. They have sought to, and continue to seek to curtail the rights of non-EEA spouse of EEA national's as illegally as they can. John i accept your point and it is perfectly valid. It is a shame and a complete ...

If your wife is saying she never lived with you in the UK or was exercising treaty in the period leading up to the initiation of the divorce, that could be a bit tricky. Have you any evidence she was living with you? Bills in both of your name. Bank statements. Medical Insurance. If she attempt to s...

I don't know what your query was about, but on the face of their reply, it seems accurate. The are obliged to facilitate your entry as stipulated on the directive, but there is no requirement, that they process a resident card for you before you enter Ireland. Resident card is only processed, once t...

There is no requirement for you to prove you are supporting her now. All the ECO will need to satisfy him/herself is evidence at the point of making the application. With the fiance visa, the requirement for maintenance and accommodation on your part is not exclusive. She can get support from friend...

If all the documentations she provides are water tight, i am sure there is every possibility that her partner will be able to secure the visa.

The worse thing to think, is that you will fail after all the hard work.

Evidence you will need to support that application. Can I join my unmarried or same-sex partner in the UK? You can apply to join your unmarried or same-sex partner in the UK, as long as: * they currently live and are settled in the UK, or they are coming to live permanently in the UK, and * you and ...

Janabee have you any evidence that you and your partner lived for two years as a partner, before he left the UK in 2008. If you do, you can apply for the Unmarried partners visa, which awards the same right as a spousal visa, and valid for 2 years too.

Usman, you should try and stick to one thread, that way you will receive better information and prevent duplication.

See the Residency Requirement

Hi Knapps, if you are going through the EU route, your time starts ticking from the time you and your EU partner start living together in the state and not when your Resident card was confirmed.

Hi Tanveer,

Have a look at the EEA 3 Form, and see if your partner will have the necessary document to support it.

Opening a bank account in 2005 is fine, she will just need to provide evidence for 2004, or she might just be border line okay.

Far from it Wanderer. If you read my statement carefully, you will notice that i stated, if they were providing all her needs and gave her money that will be considered an allowance rather than a wage. I know to some, it might appear i am threading on a slippery slope or a thin edge of the wedge, bu...

You are right. It never clicked. This chap will not be able to obtain the fiance visa. If he came of age (18) in 2008, then he will be about 19 going 20 now.

I suspect he would need to wait for another year or two. It would be best for him not to submit an application as he would loose his money.

She can claim that she was living in the UK as a Self Sufficient Person. But she will need bank statement and Medical insurance to support that, and the family she was living with, could also provide a supporting letter, that they were providing for her needs. That is, if they were giving her money,...
