I just called the EU Treaty right Section to follow up on my wifes EU1 application (over 6 months already), and the woman on the phone dropped a bombshell. She said the EU Treaty Rights Section has been taken to court regarding the EU1 process, and until the Court Case has been settled they won't s...

You write "My Russian partner", which makes me curious.

Are you an EU/EEA citizen?
Are you living with her in Germany?

Does anyone have a reference to the rule that says you can only stay 90 days in 180 (when you do not require a visa)?

Easiest and cheapest option may be to arrange a low-cost airline flight to the UK for a few hours, and then back to Europe.

There seems to be a new version of the implementation of Directive 2004/38/EC in Ireland. Anyone know what the changes are? S.I. No. 656 of 2006 — European Communities (Free Movement of Persons) (No. 2) Regulations 2006 http://www.inis.gov.ie/80256E010039E882/vWeb/flJUSQ6WNDTU-ga/$File/SI656of2006.p...

The Chen ruling is the only way in which parents of an EEA-citizen can live in an EEA state. And it does not include the right to work. Financially dependent parents are already covered in the core definition of "family member" in Direction 2004/38/EC. In those cases there is no need to i...

Why kind of visa do you have presently in France?

My partner and I are not married...and I am really at the point of going back to live in Canada because I need and want to work. It's so difficult with the language 'barrier' to explain myself to the French authorities...although it is getting better. If anyone has some advice, I'd appreciate it! M...

A child born in the United Kingdom (since 1983) only gets British citizenship if at least one parent is a British citizen or permanent resident. Or child lives in the UK until age 10. Maybe to just add a little bit: A child born in the United Kingdom (since 1983) only gets British citizenship if at...

What exactly did the statements say, and where did they come from?

What did the embassy say?

And what did they say when you called the Netherlands?

In Oct' 2006, High Court of Irish Republic also said that Dept. of Justice has treated us unlawfully, and breached the law. Government appealed against High Court Decision to Supreme Court, but we don't know how much time it will take. I am impressed that you have taken this to court and have taken...

What I did personally was to go for advice to the Immigration Council of Ireland and they told me that what we can do is to send a complain to SOLVIT and to the European commission informing them that the Irish Autorithies are not respecting the time frame. Maybe I will do that but honestly I do no...

I spoke on the phone with the Norwegian UDI (Immigration) office in Oslo today and the person who answered my query claimed that this EU Directive/2004/38/EC) is not applicable because my wife is a Norwegian citizen and that I have to go through their normal process of applying. So either the perso...

I suggest you read over some of the earlier postings to this board about this same topic.

There are often student work experience programs which have a quota of visas for current or recent students. In Canada a program called SWAP http://www.swap.ca has a visa arrangement with Ireland. You can check with them about who their sister organization is in the US. IAESTE is another organizatio...

Norway and Iceland are part of the EEA (http://ec.europa.eu/comm/external_relat ... /index.htm). As such they implement legislation like Directive/2004/38/EC, even though they are not fully part of the EU itself.

You are eligible for European rules (Directive/2004/38/EC) because you are a family member of an EU citizen who has been exercising treaty rights by working in the UK. Entering under EU rules means the process should be fast and easy. You typically need to prove your married and that your spouse is ...

Your wife has a right to move back and you have a right to join her. Should be very straight forward.

You can send the swiss embassy copies of the important pages of the passport and they can send you back a letter of confirmation saying that you do not require a visa. Call them first...

How long have you been living together, and do you have a solid documented history of the partnership (e.g. leases for a flat, bills in different or shared names, ...)? You are not required to be married to apply under the European rules. The rules are less clear for an unmarried couple than for a m...

They also say... If you wish an official letter certifying you do not need an airport transit visa, please write to the Visa Section (6a Cromwell Place, London SW7 2EW), enclosing photocopy of the main pages of your passport. Please provide a self-addressed stamped enveloppe for the reply. You shoul...

If you do not presently have German citizenship and you want to obtain it, you will have to renounce your US citizenship. I am not sure about fastest route. Probably it is to move to Germany and live there working and enjoying the place. The good thing is it will give you a chance to reflect on your...

So you had nothing to do with Ireland at the time of your divorce? And had been in Colorado for several years. So it sounds like their problem was with the wording of "The Petioner (me) was domiciled in Colorado for 90 days before this case was filed." It may be worth talking with the peop...
