EEA Family Permit with "Adverse immigration history&quo

[frency]

Dear forum members,

I applied for protection in UK at the age of 15 under a different name. I was given permission to stay until the age of 18 and then given a ticket to return. However, I stayed a few more years and then decided to return to home country with a passport issued under my real name.

Now I have gotten married to an EEA national and we are planning to try to establish ourselves in the UK. The advantage being the language rather than the economy

My partner has left for UK a few days ago and I plan to apply for a Family Permit in about a month.

What are my chances of getting this permit with no stress as the UK Authorities took fingerprints and photos when I reached 18, just before they wanted me to return.

When I apply for the FP, I will use my real name, however, I will show up on record as already being in UK under a different name, James Bond style.

You think I should come clean and tell them the whole story or tell only if asked. Can I be refused under any circumstances?

Please advise and ask if you need further info.

P.S. It's not a marriage of convenience (work in an EU country made getting together possible). Also these occurrences many years apart.

Best regards,

Frency

You just have to be honest since your fingers are involved.

"1- When/ where did you marry?
2- Are you in EU country now? if yes under what RC?
3- did you leave the UK with enforcement or no?
4- any other conviction in the Uk other then Immigration?"


Hello,

I married recently in my country.

I do not have a RC in a EU country but have had in the past. I dont know about enforcement but they gave me a ticket and said go to the airport. I didnt but I left with own expenses/wish a few years after. Dont have any convictions, I was studying.

Isnt it true that even if ECO refuses, I can get the EEA Permit at the border if I am travelling with partner?

Ive heard this is possible.

Best regards!

This is true but for that you will need to get to the border and if you are a visa national you won't be able to board the flight. If you are not a visa national, then the Family Permit is not required at the first place.

Thanks for answer Jambo!

Im a visa national but only for the UK as I can travel in the Schengen zone, benefiting from the visa liberalization that was given to certain countries at the edge of EU.

Do you suggest I skip the Embassy application altogether?

Thanks!

The choice is yours. See No visa but still want to travel.

It's less likely to get a refusal at the border. The only issue might be a proof of your true identity (who says that now you are who you say you are).

[frency]

But I do have a national passport which I have used throughout the Schengen zone in last few years.

And I dont really need to discuss my past in the UK at the border I think.

My issue is if the border police will let me through as they might be reluctant because I dont give fingerprints and photo at Border. Something which is obligatory at Embassy.

Anyway, thanks for suggestions!
