Is an applicant that does not work for the NHS eligible for an IHS refund if their spouse (British, not applying) does - works for the NHS?

Spouse is currently not in the EU

An Irish citizen friend currently exercising treaty rights in the UK -and has been for over three years - is looking to return home and would wish to take advantage of the Surinder Singh route to bring her spouse -who wasn't exercising treaty rights in the UK with him - to Ireland. Question is, does...

A million thanks to both contributors (CR001 and HappyKai) for the insight.

Regards

Many thanks HappyKai for your input, The Irish citizen is indeed exercising treaty rights in the UK but the non-EU partner couldn't, so on their return to the ROI he wouldn't have any proof of having exercise treaty rights with his partner in the UK. The lack of a residence card/registration certifi...

I should be glad if members could please shed a light on whether Foreign Born Children before naturalisation - through marriage to an Irish citizen - are entitled to Irish citizenship.
Furthermore, if the answer is yes what are the procedures.
Many thanks.

Can somebody please proffer an opinion?
This silence is unhealthy. Please

Hello forumites. Is it possible for a non EU national to avail himself of the Surinder Singh aspect of the treaty rights without a RC. Background : The non EU's partner is an Irish national thats been exercising treaty rights in the UK for over two years and they've decided to move back to Ireland t...

FLR(FP) under the parent route doesn't apply as the OP and their partner are not living separately.

They could, as even the HO has expressed doubt on their association/relationship, its up to them how they present their case

Junior,
IMHO your best bet is to get your kids British Passport and thereafter
download the FLR (FP) form to apply for the FAMILY LIFE AS A PARENT,
10 Year route ('cause of the immigration breach) for your partner.

This has worked for someone I know.

Thank you once again for the response, unfortunately i couldn't avail myself of the fee waiver as i am neither -nor could i be classed- a destitute, which is the requirement for the waiver.

Many thanks to Obie for the reply but my question still remain unanswered i.e. how long before the HO comes knocking on my door as i haven't got any resources now to make a fresh application plus, is the FLR(FP) the appropriate form to use.
Thanks in anticipation.

In closing it said "Please note that there is no administrative review available for an in-country application under the Point Based System. If you are not entitled to a statutory right of appeal, you may wish to submit a fresh application with new or additional information not included in the ...

No, he/she said "On 06 June 2013 you were granted Leave to Remain in the UK under Human Rights until 07 February 2014" and another paragraph reads "Future applications for entry clearance or leave to enter the UK will not be refused under pagraph 320(7B) if you are making an applicati...

Hello, I applied after the expiry of current leave but not up to 28 days after, and i guessed it was refused because i applied using the PBS form (for which i paid about £1600 instead of £601 for the FLR (FP)) it was refused and they were also saying there's no record of my entry into the country. B...

Hi, Thanks for the prompt response, and the Portuguese woman has never exercised treaty right in the UK (she disappeared immediately after the union) that was why the decision is somehow non-contestable. After the deportation order was withdrawn after appeal for re-consideration i was granted a 6 mo...

Dear Forumites, Much as i've been a background (non-contributory) participant in much of the discussions on this forum (mainly perusing varied topics). I have just today received a refusal letter to an application i made in march '14. Here are the background info - I have been in the Uk for more tha...
