Anyone in a similar position (non-EU family member, holder of biometric RC) has had any confirmation of status, or know how long this takes after their EU family member has had theirs? Hey Kamoe, glad you were able to apply in the test phase. The non-EEA people I know are waiting for an answer, hav...
Pleasure - also have a look at the UKCEN site on FB. They have put together a FAQ file with a lot of practical tips on how to put the PR application together. I can't post the link on here as it seems to be against T&Cs. Also remember that if your wife is refused PR for whatever reason, she can ...
The lawyer is right - you are allowed one absence longer than 6 months due to exceptional circumstances, like going abroad for university or work. Provided your evidence is good, I think you can try to apply without a lawyer - if you get refused, then suggest you employ a lawyer before applying agai...
Non-custodial convictions shouldn't affect SS, but this is a grey area so suggest you consult a lawyer. Have a look at: - Past posts with key words 'criminal prison' - https://www.ein.org.uk/news/joint-council-welfare-immigrants-launches-legal-challenge-over-settled-status-scheme-eu - JCWI & UKC...
I have considered option two but the current system is in it's Beta phases and will not be fully implemented until 30.03.2019 (the date the UK leaves the EU). My wife's residency document however will expire on the 17.03.2019 so she would have overstayed her allowed stay in the UK. That's right - y...
Hi All - in case of interest. In case you are seeking to borrow an Android phone 6.0+ for the Settled Status application & don't know anyone who has one - I've seen a grassroot hashtag on Twitter (#SettledStatusBorrowMyAndroid) to put together peeps who are offering & those looking to borrow...
The cheapest solutions are: 1) EEA immigration law route: your wife applies for EEA (PR) for the period Nov 2010 - Nov 2015, based on your P60s/payslips for that period. Fee is £65, but there will be other costs such as certified translation of marriage certificate, if not in English; 2) New UK immi...
I think the best thing is to contact a lawyer and tell them your story.
If you need a pro-bono lawyer, try the organisations I mentioned before - IKCEN, Citizens' Advice Bureau, The Aire Centre, Here For Good, the Good Law Project, the3million, JCWI.
Good luck.
Sorry, just re-read this and saw that the offence was 12 years ago but your arrest is recent - again, a caution shouldn't affect your Settled Status application, but you might want to contact a lawyer/pro-bono lawyer to double-check. The EU Londoners Hub page says: Criminality checks You will be ask...
Given this was a caution and not a criminal conviction, you didn't go to prison, it was 12 years ago and you haven't re-offended - I think this is unlikely to affect your application. You must declare the caution in your application. If you want to read more about this, search for posts with the key...
Can you give more details of the cautions/convictions - for which offence, how many, when?
Criminal convictions with prison sentences of more than 1 year could have an effect on a Settled Status application - lawyer advice strongly recommended in these cases.
1. Now that the settled scheme is live - can we still apply for Permanent Residency ? Yes - the two statuses are basically parallel: one based on EU law, the other based on UK law. Everybody that currently has PR and is then granted Settled Status basically has both until PR becomes obsolete. 2. If...
I'm about to apply for settled/pre-settled status(have booked to have the passport scanned at the registry office next week), from what I've read even if I can't prove the residency for the settled status, I'll get the pre-settled status but won't need to have the CSI with that? Thanks in advance f...
FYI I asked an immigration lawyer today whether there's any rule impeding people from applying for Settled Status and later also applying for a document certifying Permanent Residency (DCPR). There's no such rule - given the two applications are made based on two separate sets of legislation. I'd as...
- Come to the UK on the EEA Family Permit Yes - Apply for the EU Settlement scheme, for pre-settled status (for her I do not need it as an Irish National) Yes - At the same time apply for a residency card - I am not sure if this is required or not? No. Given your wife is already applying for Pre-Se...
Look at this other thread from a few months ago & the links on there: https://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/eea-permanent-residence-application-with-a-criminal-record-t267885.html I understand that a criminal conviction with a 12+ months custodial sentence is considered a seri...
Surely, linking my "settled status" passport to my wife's EEA-PR application should have been enough evidence that I was exercising the treaty right?! No - Settled Status is based on residency/identity, not on exercising treaty rights. I am now considering to appeal the decision. Does som...
Sounds like you may be able to apply either as a worker, or as a combination of worker + student (given you have EHIC). Given Settled Status opened its final test phase to all EU citizens today - you could also directly apply for Settled Status. This should be easier than the PR application, unless ...
Ciao - me and another forum user Obormot have a very similar family situation to yours. Don't feel overwhelmed - there's a bit of work to do, but it's doable. Have a look at my other thread, and Obormot's responses: https://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/eea-pr-for-dependent-parent...
By the time you accrue 5 years in June 2019, Settled Status will be in place - and presumably PR will be phased out. So your only option will be to apply for Settled Status anyway.
No. After you've acquired PR, as a qualified person, you can be away from the country for 2 years without losing your PR status. In theory, you could apply for the DCPR card from abroad - but I don't know anyone who's done it. If you're successful in applying for DCPR from abroad, you'll need to exc...
I'm presuming you're doing a joint PR application for the EEA worker and the non-EEA husband? When is the 5-year QP for the wife, and when is the 5-year QP for the husband? They need to have been married for 5 years and living here for 5 years. For the EEA worker wife - if submitting P60s as evidenc...
