What does this mean for the situation I'm asking about?

I understand this is a question that can possibly require deeper caselaw knowledge and is not very easy but I need help with this. Say self-employed person takes sort of holiday INSIDE UK not doing any work, still has advertisements online, but not actively seeking new work. This time can count towa...

Thank you Obie. You're good.

You think that based on your or others' experiences with UKBA? I'm pretty sure there's a correct answer to my question, down to a day. I don't trust that UKBA would make concessions that are not in the law, and I understand that there's no law that says 1-2 days plus are OK. Some of my questions may...

Does it matter how many days were in a month or does one month mean 30 days strictly?
I came to UK April 29 this year. So when exactly (which the day is the last) does 3 month period end for me?

Thank you.

Laws should be easy to understand, right? So these questions should not be hard to answer? Please help, it's very important.

Interestingly, helping an illegal "morrocan" immigrant getting married is more important http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/illegal-immigrant-getting-married-in-the-uk-t191190.html than my questions. This says it all really. People from EU need to be kicked in three mo...

Can I claim that I have started trading at the end of initial residence period and provide just advertisements online, nothing else, and then do HMRC registration later in another 3 months? EEA1 form leaves an option to say that one isn't registered with HMRC. Should this be understood as it's not a...

In old (2013) self-employment threads people say that one has three months to register with HMRC from the day they start trading. I understand this means that one can start trading near the end of the 3 month initial residence and then have 3 months to register. But is it now changed with new laws? ...

The result is that the appeal tribunal erred in law in apparently applying a different interpretation of Directive 73/148. The appeal tribunal apparently considered that the claimant could not have a right of residence until she had actually started teaching someone French. Alternatively the appeal...

Going to attempt to answer my own question if you don't mind. Here's what I have found: It is clear from UK case law. that someone who is “taking steps” towards establishing themselves as self employed will have the status of a self-employed person: R(IS)6/00 held that the crucial factor was ‘whethe...

What happens to 3 months initial residence count if a person exits UK before the end of initial residence without yet exercising treaty rights, and then they return before 12 months pass? Does the count of initial 3 months residence start from zero again or not?

Thank you.

If that means that regulations are not being followed, then its good. We should not follow such regulations. :roll: We do not want this country to become benefits supermarket destination for EU citizens. IMHO EU citizens who fail to find a job in 3 months, should be put back on a plane back home. :...

To be a qualified person as self-employed does one really need to be registered with HMRC? I have read that one has 3 months to register since they start trading, so I thought that logically then it would follow that self-employment counts from the day a person starts trading regardless if they regi...

Please help me understand this better.

Does anyone disagree that Job Centre won't register people as job seekers (qualified persons) unless they have worked before for a year?

https://www.gov.uk/eea-registration-certificate page about registration certificates as an example: You don’t need a registration certificate if you: are a ‘qualified person’, ie you’re working, studying, self-employed, self-sufficient or looking for work ... Since one can only get registration cer...

I have found these regulations on UK government's website where all laws can be found. So how am I supposed to know which provisions UK pleases to follow and which not? I wasn't even looking for a job because regulations say there are no conditions for the first 3 months in a country. From what I ha...

So this means that regulations aren't really being followed and jobseeker isn't really an option? Because regulations contain no such requirement that a jobseeker can only be a qualified person if having worked before. Unless I have missed something major.

So the answer to every question about immigration lies on gov.uk website and there's no point of asking anything on this forum? Plenty of people should be able to answer the question as plenty of people already registered.

I know I will have to apply for NIN, like I wrote. Question is will I be a "qualified person" exactly after I apply. But I have found that in regulation there is no mention of registering at Job Centre at all. So maybe that's not even a requirement after all, then my question would be solv...

How fast and how simply can I register at Job Centre for the purpose of being a "qualified person" as a jobseeker if I don't yet have NIN? I have read gov.uk website, it says that if I don't have NIN, then Job Centre workers will help me to apply for it. However, it is not clear whether ri...
