There is an option to mark posts as read in individual forums. I don't see there being an option to mark the whole board as read.

It used to be the case that once logged on, and then, after logging off, all posts were marked as read. Therefore, once one logged on latter on, only the posts made since last logged on were highlighted. That said, I'm guessing as to what the poster itk means by "it was better before, please change ...

I hope so too, please post back when you have the result.

So then, you are in the UK?

If the form is not clear, you should inform UKBA. I suspect they believe the form to be crystal clear. An application ought to be very simple indeed. Show that you are the family member of an EU national who intents to exercise treaty rights in the UK, bearing in mind that for the first three months...

In order to demonstrate that a parent is dependent on their child, they would need to provide evidence of this. If your mother can travel to the UK independently of you and doesn't normally live with you, she may not be dependent on you. There is guidance on constitutes dependency, but you will need...

You will require a visa. They will expect you to apply in your country of residence.

I saw the link. The UK can and does restrict access to the job market for the new member state, Croatia. The UK is meant to provide Croatian nationals with at least the same access to the job-market as non-EU nationals. For students and self-sufficient persons, the UK must issue a residence certific...

Hello, my husband is an Australian with a Greek passport and I am Australian. We applied for an EEA Family Permit in Athens in September 2013. Our application was then sent to Serbia for processing. Two weeks later it was refused on the grounds that we did not prove that our marriage was not one of...

So what was that in terms of time - just over three weeks?

Firstly, in order to benefit from directive 2004/38/ec, your mother would require to be dependent on you. If this were the case, you could argue that the directive mandates that member states provide every facility for the visa to be issued. They generally expect applications to apply in the country...

I understand you entered under the immigration rules (you've confirmed this). You may well find that a gap between living in an EU country and returning to the UK cannot be used as a reason for refusal. However, this was the argument used by the IO on your first attempt. If you were to successfully ...

Make the application, you are entitled to the visa if accompanying or joining EU national.

Can anyone advise on implications of applying for RC with EEA2 while on limited leave to remain? What if the leave expires while waiting for the RC, or while waiting for the CoA? Could she end up overstaying? For a non contentious case (let's say French citizen living in the UK legally with non-EU ...

There will not be a problem at a UK border. What might happen abroad is a different matter. The airline should be straight-forward enough. If there are any problems, remain patient, but don't be fobbed off.

No, application cannot be refused just because the form has not been completed fully (or even used at all).

An application for a residence card ought to be really simple. Generally, the important items are passport, proof of relationship to EU national, proof that the EU national is entitled to a residence certificate (is a worker, self-sufficient person or student).

To qualify for the dispensation, one would have needed to have successfully applied prior to the insurance requirement being enforced.

It is possible to travel abroad with an expired residence document. You could apply for a family permit (visa) abroad in order to return. While this might not be particularly convenient, it would be an option.

Hi everyone I have noticed a lot of UK family permit refusals recently after the new 'centre of life' rule has come out in Jan. I am interested in knowing the exact reasons and I'm sure it would also help others who are planning to apply via the Surrinder Singh route. It would be great if you could...

It sounds reasonably well organised. Keep a cover letter with a record of what you enclosed (your index may suffice).

Is it possible for HO to check if an EU national is travelling between UK and other EU state. I travel to UK every month for one weekend. At border control i usually show them my passport. No one scans my passport. Would there be any reason for you to declare or not to disclose this? Information ca...

Another angle to pursue might be that you've already benefited from a code 1 and so should not be subject to the new rules. When last did you enter the UK?

I can understand why you want to be home until your Dad gets better.
