My Brasilian bf would like to visit me (visitor) in the uk but we are afraid for him to be refused. He is student at Sao Paulo University so of course he doesnt want to stay in the uk only few weeks 3 or 4. I am going to pay for his plane ticket so he will come in the uk as visitor. Do I need to wri...

He is from France and has lived in the UK for 12 years. He has got permanent residency in uk. I have been told that if he enters the UK with his Brasilian partner Uk immigration will have to let his partner in under European law. They can't refuse him on the groiund that he has overstayed in Portuga...

A Brasilian friend would like to visit me in the uk. He lives in Lisbon and has overstay his visa for 3 month in portugal. Is he going to have problems with UK immigration if he decides to come to visit me?
thanks

My brasilian partner just got his permanent residency application approved by HO (EEA4) we provided them with an original of our French Pacs signed in the French Consulat in London in 2001. My partner had as well a bad immigration history, overstayed 7 years.

We have just had a call from our excellent solicitor and he told us the good news that my partner has been granted permanent residency. We have waited more than 8 months for EEA4 application. If you got a strong case everything is possible, my partner overstayed for many years. I am very understandi...

cant tell u what to do i am just telling what our situation is and what i have been told by solicitors (I talked to two differents). What they clearly said is that under EU rules now, they can't refuse to give my partner a residence right, but we are offically registered partner and not in a long te...

i believe the application take so long because my partner has overstayed even if we have lived togther 5 years and we got french civil partnership registered in 2001. I have treaty right and been in the uk since 1996.

It is exactly what have been told by solicitors. You dont need to go back to your country even if u are overstayer, you can apply for residence card in hte uk and apparently under EU law if your partner exercise her treaty right HO cannot refuse your application. We are in the same situation. I appl...

thanks Claudo for asking.
My solicitor has written another letter to HO. Hope we will get result. if not i will ask solvit.
It has been nearly 9 months now! What else can we do?

Chris

Since the new EU regulation(30/06/2006) it should be easier for u to get residency.
If you were maried I think HO would grant u the right to stay with your EU partner even if u overstayed.
But I think the rules are different for unmaried patner that overstayed.

hello Harper11,
today 26th of January still nothing from HO!!!
It is now going to be nearly 8 Months!

I am still waiting too. Application sent in May.
Next week if nothing has arrived I will contact Solvit asking them to take our case.

We applied in May 2006 and still waiting HO answer!!! We are in the same situation. The only difference is my partner overstayed. We apply for EEA3/EEA4 even with the overstay history they still should answer within 6 months apparently.
Chris

We applied in May 2006 for EEA3/EEA4, still waiting HO answer. 7 months now!

you should be able to work. can someone confirm.

Certificat of Applcation you should received may help

apparently it is possible, check with a lawyer

We applied in May 2006 for EEA4 & EEA3 permanent residency.
Still waiting for HO answer even if they should have given their answer within 6months of application.
Anybody in the same case?
Any suggestions?
Thanks
