Hi, My question is: has your wife out of employment any time during these 4 years? I mean, has she changed jobs and then out of work for 1 or 2 months for example? Maybe they considered this gap and then rejected the permanent visa. I have a friend (dutch) who got the permanent visa denied and his ...

That being the case I really don't understand why the applications have been refused. It does not make sense! OK you might not have a right of appeal but have you written back asking for a Manager's Review? You never know, that might work. Or could it be they mislaid the documents that have not bee...

What proof was enclosed to show that treaty rights had indeed been exercised for 4 years, when the two of you applied in March this year? We've sent P45's, P60's, current Job contracts/letter from employers. And the thing is, they've kept most of these documents with them. We didn't receive them, j...

I would suspect that EEA2 is correct for you. Your wife? Has she been exercising treaty rights in the UK for at least five years? If so the form should be EEA3. If less than five years then EEA1. But earlier in this topic you posted :- our Residence Permit was issued in April 2001, expiring in Apri...

Gino, what was the reason given for refusing the application? You say your wife is working so she appears to be exercising her treaty rights. Could it be that you have simply applied for Permanent Residence too early? How long have you been living in the UK as a family member of an EEA citizen? Hi ...

Hi there, I'd like to know if anyone out there can help me. I've just received a letter from the Home Office, refusing a Permanent Residence. Our Residence Permit expired 3 months ago (while the HO had the case with them). My wife is european, I'm not, so I need a visa to stay here and continue work...

I thought the Permanent Residence form EEA3/4 was the one to apply for ILR/Permanent Residence..

Hi Chess,

Isn't a Residence Permit a Valid Visa?

Hi there, Can anyone help me please? My wife and I came to the UK 5 years ago, she's an EU citizen but I'm not.. We've received a Residence Permit. Now, with the 5 year visa almost expired, we've been informed we need to apply for Permanent Residence. But, as we've been unemployed for about 2.5 year...
