Firstly, I am a but a noob to many thanks for your help in advance. Sorry let me clarify, I'm an American citizen who was teaching English abroad (in seoul) where I met my husband. We married here under Korean law but sent our paperwork to the us and the uk... We're legal. I however, closed my american bank account in 2010 when I left for Korea (without much consideration to my future endeavors... Although I wasn't sure I would be living in europe after my stint in Korea). Anyway, my husband is a musician. I am a tattoo artist... We do not qualify to make nearly 19,000 pounds a year and probably never will. However, his family needs him close to home- I don't have much family back in the US, at all really. So we are obviously in troubled water. Since we can't afford a spouse visa we are merely visiting for three months staring October 10 (for the holidays) since I'm leaving Korea though, I don't have a bank account- so I'm worried, with the immigration laws being as stringent as they are now, that I will be sent away- with only a ticket but no job prospects in Prague and no ties back to the us. Maybe I'm just an anxious person (I am) but I'm concerned about being admitted to the uk at all for my visit.
AFTER the visit- and this is the most confusing part, we are
Moving to Prague. We will both work. We are considering trying to get back into the uk in a year or so using the surrinder Singh route. QUESTION: I read that the new changes to immigration policies this July EXCLUDE British nationals from taking part in granting their family members EEA fp's. The revision says an EEA national is now "a national of an EEA state who is not also a British national". Does that render the surrinder Singh route invalid? From my interpretation that would, because British nationals are NOT considered eea nationals and therefore can NOT take their non eu spouses back into England to exercise treaty rights.
Am I wrong? I hope so... :/
