Hello I am not a solicitor but I have seen a few in my life. Some are worthless and have no idea what they are talking about. Few are amazing and can help you out from the most desperate situations. I am not a solicitor, but from what I observed, is that you are better off getting a marriage in the ...
Yes, I went once to Venice with my wife and I agree with you, zero hassle. Other than that, I don't remember a single trip without issues. It starts at Heathrow were the airline guys ask for a visa and claim you can't travel to EU with EU-national and EEA Family permit. Needless to say, I followed u...
Hi I would like to know have anyone got experience travel to any Europe country with BC under EU settlement scheme. I'm French national and my wife got settled status biometric card because of non eu national. Can she go Spain with this card without visa because I heard it must be mentioned on perm...
I have seen a couple of appeals and did one myself for a family member. My understanding is that when you appeal you are challenging the decision that has been made based on the evidence you provided. If the test you submitted was valid but they mistakenly considered invalid, you then appeal and cha...
It's hard, if not impossible, to tell how a major event such as no deal Brexit can translate into individual situations.
All what have been said is valid for today. If a big change happens, it will probably reshuffle the cards and a new assessment of the entire situation is to be done again.
The 1 year passport is accepted. It's a fully valid travel document/id. It looks like any passport. The only giveaway is it's validity that is shorter than typical (1 year vs 10) but still, it's accepted without any question. However, you need to make sure you cover everything else otherwise you can...
A friend was in the same situation with an expired Algerian passport. Here is how to sort it: Go to an immigration solicitor and get him to write you a letter indicating that you have the project to marry and for that, it's necessary that a valid passport is provided. This letter has to be stamped a...
I traveled a lot with my wife across Europe. I am the EEA national and she has a residence with the famous "Family member of EEA national". The only country where we had zero issues, was Italy. Otherwise, it was a nightmare to travel. The issue starts usually at Heathrow when BA or whateve...
Hello, I am under a Tier 4 visa that expires in a week now. I applied for the EU Settlement Scheme as an unmarried partner of a EU citizen. We have been together for almost two years now and living together for one year. I called the EU resolution centre and was told to apply. We apply together the...
If you were just a guest, there is nothing to worry about. I was once invited to a marriage of people I barely know (not in the UK), I went there and realized quickly something was off. It was, from my point of view, a sham. I quickly left. There are not going to go after the guests. Even if you wer...
I recommend he consults with an immigration solicitor as anything regarding extended family members is difficult. Usually it's easier to bring kids or teenagers. For adults, even if you prove a dependency, it's very hard to get anything. You need to see all the details of the situation and a profess...
Take a calendar and see how long your wife really held a residence permit while you were in the UK. There are situations where she may have acquired a retained right for residence. This means that her residence doesn't depend on you. This is usually used when there is a divorce, separation or death ...
Hello For EU citizens, it's business as usual at least until end-2020. Even if you seem to have some paperwork in hand, I don't recommend to go and apply while she is not the country yet. I would wait for them to come to the UK. Then the partner gets a national insurance number, start working, colle...
Hello I am sorry that you lost this money. In the UK, some immigration applications carry huge fees (in excess of £1000) and, in most cases, if the application is unsuccessful for whatever reason, no refund is given. Technically, you can apply for anything and pay the associated fee but it's up to y...
You want to use regulation 7(3) that states: (3) A person (“B”) who is an extended family member and has been issued with an EEA family permit, a registration certificate or a residence card must be treated as a family member of A, provided— (a)B continues to satisfy the conditions in regulation 8(2...
If you didn't keep the receipts yourself, check with your father if he kept the receipts delivered to him when he used to send the money. If your father is British and lives in Britain, he cannot sponsor you under EEA route. There are cases where a British Nationals can be EEA sponsors but it doesn'...
I have been reading more documents this morning. I found some relevant items. I share them here in case they are useful for anyone else. I am referring to a document called "eu settlement scheme caseworker guidance" issued on March 29th (v 1.0) Page 54: https://i.imgur.com/Lk6fF6A.png It s...
Hello board members, I am an EEA national and I sponsored the residence of an extended family member. A few months after the residence card was delivered, the extended family member found a job and moved. So technically, at this point, there is no dependency and the extended family member is not par...
Thank you CR001 for correcting me. Yes, I do have a PR, no an-ILR. I got my PR after 5 years residence with exercise of Treaty Rights. I have a letter from my employer plus water, electricity and council tax bills on my name. I am going to add them to the application to cover from July 2013 to July ...
Thank you :) I am EEA. So even if have the ILR, I still need to prove residence from 2013 - 2018 by submitting a council tax documents or utility bills for that qualifying period. My friend was non-EEA (India). I think this is why he didn't have to demonstrate residence when he applied for citizensh...
