Thanks for that jes2jes.

Personally, I also think that Lucy should count herself lucky and not bother with appealing. The way I see it, it's not worth the hustle. But it was worth hearing other people's take on this. So thank you.

Could someone kindly add their comments or advice to this dilemma??? Here is the situation... Lucy initially came to the UK on a Visitor visa in 2001, but exceptional personal circumstances prevented her from returning to her home country, and she applied for FLR before her Visitor visa expired. She...

As long as it is original and you manage to stick it together and keep it safely, I don't see why not! But how difficult is it to get a replacement certificate from India? According to your post, you've got a whole two years in which you can arrange another one. Surely it wouldn't take that long :?:...

I think a child born to parents who have ILR is automatically a Brit citizen!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong....

Try the Dutch Embassy.

All you need is your partner's EU passport, proof of relationship and your own passport with valid LTR. You don't need to show proof of funds or accomodation, and certainly not your travel tickets. It's relatively straightforward.

Good Luck!

Personally, I would not take the risk of saying that I paid for my visa, when in actual fact I did not pay. In section 44 of the visa application it clearly says, "I am aware that any false statements will lead to my application being rejected or to the annulment of a visa already granted, and ...

Hi dhcp. I am a non EU national who is married to a Dutch man, who is exercising his treaty rights (working) here in the UK. I have Leave to Remain in UK stamped in my passport, and when I applied for a Schengen Visa to visit Holland with my husband, all I needed to show was my valid non-EU Passport...

I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this.... My Belgian friend relocated from Belgium to the UK in May last year, and has been working here in England ever since, on a full time basis. She never applied for an EEA1 certificate when she arrived last year (as it is not compulsory), but is thinki...

Hmmm..... And just when I thought it was safe to go into the water.... :wink: Thank you killinghall for that piece of information. After all the stress I endured wondering how I was ever going to pass the Dutch civic intergration test (or whatever they call it), I was really relieved to learn that I...

I guess it's IND's way of tracking down students who are working more hours than they should do I wonder what happens if one 'forgets' to mention it on the form , or simply doesn't have one?

Hi everyone! I'm happy to report that indeed I do NOT need to apply for an MVV to return to Holland with my Dutch husband, as he has been exercising his EU treaty rights by working in another EU state (UK), even though I myself am a non-EU national. :D He would be considered as an EU national, rathe...

Thank you all for your replies. I think that once we have apostilled my birth certificate(I was born in England, but I'm not British....but that's another story) :!: and our marriage certificate at the FCO. We will go ahead and apply, and hope for the best. I have since emailed the Dutch embassy as ...

In answer to Directive/2004/38/EC. The requirements for MVV are basically general eg. passport, proof of relationship, proof of residence in applicant country, income and proof of passing the civic integration test (in Dutch, by the way :( ). I think I will require one because I am a non EU spouse o...

Thank you for that. But you're right. When I try the wizard on the Dutch IND website, it doesn't give the option if your partner is actually Dutch. I know for certain that to go back as a spouse of a Dutch citizen, I WILL require an MVV! I think we stand a better chance with the EU route. I'm comple...

I am a non EU spouse of a Dutch citizen. We met, married and live in UK, where he has been exercising his EU treaty rights (ie working) over the past year. We now wish to return to live in Holland under the EU policy. The question is...Do I still have to apply for an MVV, even though my husband is r...
