thanks sushdmehta,

it's a shame, I'm getting a bit frustrated, so i just thought if there was a tracking system, it would be great.

thanks,

Hi all, sorry for a silly question! I submitted UK settlement visa from British Embassy in Dublin, Ireland. I haven't provided any info about online progress tracking system, I assume it's not available in Ireland? I should have asked to officers at embassy, but I forgot, it was silly mistake. After...

Hello all, My hsuband is British, and I'm non EEA. We've been married for 6years and currently live in Ireland. I'm about to apply a 2yrs settlement visa, our agent says it will take around 2 to 4 weeks. But when I checked border agency website, it says up to 12 weeks! it would be great if someone k...

sorry my reply is late again, I just set up notification in different email address. I found a right info, I am japanese, my husband is british. I can apply for EEA FP, then when I enter in UK, I can apply for residency card, or I can apply for permanent residency straight way. I don't think about c...

Hello everyone, I am going to apply EEA family member permit. I have 2 questions about this permit, I checked lots website, but I couldn't get very much straight answers. 1. I read that EEA family member permit valid for 6 months for multiple entry. After 6months, what should I do? Should I apply fo...

sorry for my reply is very late.
I sent an email to www.visainfoservices.com they replied that they can't be guarantee, but said same thing as Victoria5. I'll call British embassy in Dublin soon and will ask the question.

Hi Victoria5, thanks for your reply. Sorry my first post wasn't very clear, My husband & I live in Ireland now. We married in 2004 in Dublin, I used to have a work permit in ireland before marriage. In 2005 we got to move to Australia because of my job, then we came back to Ireland in late 2006....

Hi archigabe,
thanks for your reply, I'll have a look at family immigration forum.
hope things have been well for you.

Hello everyone, I got 5 years EU FAM visa last july, and now we are planning to move to UK. My husband is british, and myself is non EEA. We've been married for more than 4 years outside of UK, so now I can apply for permanent residency in UK. But, my husband just called immigration office in Liverp...

Hi archigabe,
I just posted some ideas above, hope it help you? I also pm you.
if you can give me certain questions, it makes me easier to answer.

hope you get a good news soon.

For instance.... How long have you lived with your partner and where? What special documentation did you submit? What are you and your partner's citizenships? Did you intentionally do anything which you think caused you to immediately get issued the EUFAM4 stamp? Hi all, sorry my reply is late, I a...

I know of some people who had received the full residence cards inspite of not having lived in another E.U country...I don't see how that is possible unless they or their lawyers pulled some strings. Hi archigable, I received 5 years residency and EUFam4 stamp in July 2007 inspite of not living in ...

thanks for info greengrass,
I got it. EUFam4 is Spouses and dependants of EU nationals who have exercised their right to move to and live in Ireland.
thanks!

Hi Platinum,
yes, in my case I got 5 years residency. and sorry for wrong info, stamp4 didn't need to pay fee, I wasn't sure.
I still don't know the difference between EUFam4 (mine) and Stamp4.

Big Apple,
I don't know the difference either, in my case, I have EUfam4, not stamp4.
At GNIB, I didn't have to pay anything to get this EUFam4, I'm not sure, but maybe Stamp4 you have to pay registration fee €100. Also my EUFam4 is for 5 years.[/quote]

it will be a good idea, I hired one before submission, so I'm not sure if you have submitted already? just hire a solicitor and let him send a letter to justice? anyway, it will be much better than yourself write a letter ao make phone call, I think. there are some solicitors they are good at dealin...

Hi everyone, I didn't live in any other EU country before, also I sent only required documents and health insurance document (I was told it must at GNIB). The only difference could be a lawyer, I hired a lawyer before submitting EU1, and he wrote a cover letter, then he submit instead of me. That's ...
