Re: Application for Permanent Residence

Hi there. Just to give you an update of my PR application. I applied for PR on November 2014 and received COA on the 8th of December with letter saying that they can't confirm my right to work because I only sent a copy of my ex-EEA husband's passport. I got a call from my solicitor last week saying...

We (my wife as I am a British Citizen) successfully submitted our application for permanent residence (she was originally here on an EEA family member, now divorced and remarried to me), her application shows that treaty rights were being exercised during the duration of the marriage and we pushed t...

Re: ILR Application

If the case is presented properly.... would you suggest us continuing to use a solicitor to ensure that the case is presented properly?

Is there any issue with the fact that her residence permit ran out in June 2014 (although we had applied in April 2014).

The spouse in the UK was self employed at the time of the divorce and we have evidence that we can provide as part of the application.

Re: ILR Application

Re: ILR Application

Am I right in assuming that as my wife was granted the residence card (in form of a stamp in her passport) that she has retained the right of residence, the marriage lasted for longer than three years, they resided in the UK for more than 1 year, she is employed in the Uk and therefore self sufficie...

Re: ILR Application

The suggestion from the person that she spoke to today regarding the EEA route was that she could not apply for that any longer as she is now married to a british national and it is now a matter of immigration. If we go down the FLR(FP) route would that restrict her from working whilst under conside...

Re: ILR Application

You are correct Obie, this board is the only place that is giving us the correct information, we have been looking at potentially apply for FLR(FP), which would allow us to apply as my wife (partner) and parent of child (or daughter), there is a premium service in Belfast that we could avail of, whi...

Re: ILR Application

Spoken with the UKBA today and it seems like a package has been returned to our solicitor today, which we are assuming is the full package of documents as the application was not the correct way to go. We have an appointment with our solicitor on Friday so hopefully the package will have been receiv...

Re: ILR Application

Re: ILR Application

I am not sure where the solicitors confidence comes from to be honest - we had originally filled in the forms for the EEA route and the solicitor advised that we didn't need to go down that route, that the Set(m) was the right way to go and had continually said how confident he is that it will be ac...

Re: ILR Application

Ok, this is going to sound silly, but my wife has a residence card stamp in her passport - it is that residence card that is expiring / expired June 2014 - does this change things - apologies I have so many things going round in my head relating to the issues that have been raised by this applicatio...

Re: ILR Application

That is worrying, especially as the solicitor recommended going down this route, although I do not think she is applying as my partner, I think she is applying under the treaty rights associated with the previous marriage and the number of years that she has been living and working in the UK, but I ...

Re: ILR Application

Apologies again - it was the Set(M) form on the advice of the solicitor.

Originally we were going to apply for permanent residence however, my wifes previous partner would not allow her to have his passport to make the application.

Re: ILR Application

Apologies, yes her visa was granted as a EEA family member. I am not 100% sure under what exact provisions (rules) she applied, I know that she has been in the UK long enough to have the rights to apply for ILR under her previous marriage - if that helps, apologies. She would qualify under 5(d)1 und...

Hi Vinny, thanks for taking the time to respond. She did retain her rights of residence. However it was the solicitor who having considered all the information that we had suggested going for ILR, so hopefully they have advised us correctly as they are immigration specialists. In terms of 287(a) she...
