Hi All,

I have live in the uk for almost 15yrs, i arrived on a student visa but do to all sorts of reasons (some the schol's but as an adult i would say mostly my fault), my Fiancee and i have been together for 7 years and have just will be giving notice on the 3rd and hopefully our wedding is on the 29th of september 2011, my questions are as follows

a) I am currently working , is there any law that strengthens my case to do so as my fiancee is exercising her treaty rights (she works full time)

b) i was issued a removal but the HO withdrew that on appeal on the ground of the amount of evidence we provided, now, with money being very tight for everyone, i am torn because i love my job and i have been there 5 years, i don't want to get them in trouble, what is your advise as our solicitors are unwilling to advice us unless we pay them another £1200 registration

c) Do you think an EEA1 and EEA2 application will help us in the short term?

thank you for help

Regards

You have the option of making a long residence application or a residence card application if you have been in a relationship with the EEA national for at least 2 years and there are documentary evidence to prove this

If you are not yet married, you most likely will not be granted the right to work till a decision is made, but as a married couple, you will automatically have the same rights as an EU citizen to pursue employment. The confirmation of receipt of you application (COA) will state this for married partners.

But you do know that the 14-year long residency should apply to you? I think it states that regardless of your immigration status you would qualify for residency.

Good luck, whatever you guys decide.

Based on what you have told us,It seems long residency application would benefit you as you can get ILR straight a way instead of going through this EEA route hassel.But choice is entirely upto you which suites you the most.

But what about the previous removal notice, dont you think that might have stopped the clock. It is not clear from what he told us whether the ho withdrew it based on his own right or eu process. If ho withdrew the removal under eu law, might be good to proceed with eu application. The op doesnt have to mention about his employment, is pointless.

providing you have been living in UK for 14 years (long residency), you are eligible for ILR on the basis of long residency. legal/illigal status is irrelevant. Your removal status has been withdrawn so you should not be worried. You have to apply as soon as possible as the 14 year long residance rules is going to shut down very soon or probably this year.
