Surinder Singh self sufficiency From Germany
Posted: Fri Oct 05, 2018 11:43 am
Hello, I am new to this board so please bear with me .
I am a British citizen . For the past three and a half years I have been living in Germany with my Afghan national husband . Initially his asylum application was under consideration and hence he was given a 6 months temporary permit which allowed him to stay and work in Germany .
My daughter was born there in 2017. My husband got a job with annual salary of 25000 euros . As soon as he was offered the job the office dealin with work and benefits informed the visa office there and they granted my husband a Residence card of a family member of Union citizen . The card expires in June 2019 and has to be renewed . It was granted of the basis of my self sufficiency. When husband started job, and as is compulsory in Germany , he started paying for health insurance from his income directly to the health insurance company. Me and my daughter are covered under his insurance policy.
I want to know whether I can use Surinder Singh route to apply for husband’s permit on the basis of my self sufficiency
My questions are
Does Surinder Singh route accepts self sufficiency as a treaty right ? It didn’t in 2016 I know because we applied and we were refused the permit
2- As we were covered under his health insurance policy does it satisfies the definition of comprehensive health insurance ?
3- he is allowed to travel to uk with his german issued residence card without the need to apply for Eea permit. Is it a good idea to apply for a permit there or go straight to Uk and apply for a residence card ?
I don’t want to leave everything here and go to uk , make an application only to be asked for further information to support the application. .then my husband might not be allowed back in germany . That is because we both need to be in Germany to be able to apply for renewal of his residence card
He should have been given a 5 year residence card in Germnay but for some reason they decided to grant him a 2 year card
Please advice
