EEA4 refusal with right to appeal.

[EUsmileWEallsmile]

Hi Jambo, at the start I spoke to HO staffs and few of them said that as long as we lived together for 5 yrs is fine regardless marriage and besides on the book(as you say) it says as long as you are a family member for 5 yrs but never says you should be married

It won't be the first time the customer service gave wrong information. "I was told so over the phone" is not a strong legal argument.

The regulations clearly define a family member as a spouse / civil partner or extended family member with EEA FP/RC/PR. Read Regulation 7 (1), 7(3)

I know, but what is a family member? if I live with EEA, and EEA loves me and accommodate me and feed me and look after me and pay for all bills and then after that marry me,,,,so what the hell is a family member???????!!!!!! you now what as I said,,it's free so for me nothing to loss and by the time appeal is over it will be 5 yrs of my marriage anyway so I will just kill the time with HO and they are the one paying for everybody not me :)) let the game play ;)

If you think there's a realistic chance of success, good for you, go for it. If not, I'm sure you could find better things to do with your time.

If you are interested in a case that is not directly relevant to you, but has some relevance, please read this.

That's completely your decision. The main thing I wanted to get across to you is that you need to keep your expectations realistic so that you are not too disappointed if things don't go your way.

Thanks for your advice but it's rather experience and who knows might just happens to be good I'm already waiting to apply next year,,so not a big deal, I'm not gonna to hope for it and get disappointed anyway.
