Hello, I have been issued with the same thing and it is such a pain. I too have been told I cannot apply for a Schengen Visa in London because the residence permit must be stamped into my passport. I am travelling back to my home country soon and plan to apply there which is another option althought...
Hello, I dont think that this will affect your application. Exercising a treaty right is the basis of your application and so long as your husband is, there should be no problems. The Home Office seems to be experiencing a delay in processing applications at the moment and when they do process your ...
The EEA Family Permit is the visa you have applied for to enter the UK and is valid for the 6 months. Once granted, you are able to work immediately in the UK. Once in the UK and to the EEA Family Permit expiring you will need to sumbit and application to the Home Office for your residence card as t...
The most obvious one would I would suggest is your council tax bill which your parents will be on if they are living with you. Other document could be proof of registration with a doctor or bank account statement. Or you could simply change one of your utility bill into their name but maintain payme...
I have also had problem with a Schengen Visa application because my residence card is not stamped in my passports...see... http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=25520&highlight= I have had a look at the notes posted on the BIA website and the A4 sheet of paper where your residence car...
Oh she's gonna be a bit happy about that I think, the only problem at the moment is that neither of us speak French (I speak German to an intermediate level but I really don't want to move there) but there is always time to learn. :) It is all apart of the experience of relocating :wink: Would we n...
Way..... :lol: If you are a non-EEA national and is married to an EEA National, under EU Law you have the right to move, live and travel freely with your spouse. These rights are conferred upon you by virtue of your marriage (and not national law). So yes, if you were moving to France for settlement...
You need to state abit about your circumstances in order for forum users to be clear about your situation and therefore avice you accordingly. For instance, what type of visa would your wife be applying for? Are you British or hold citizenship from an EEA country?
Spouses of EEA citizens must apply for entry clearance to the UK in the form of an EEA Family Permit which is valid for 6 months. This allows the non-EEA national to work and reside in the UK once granted. Within that 6 months of being granted to EEA Family permit, you must travel to the UK where jo...
My husband holds both Irish and British citizenship. Earlier this year we applied under EU Law for our residence cards and were granted these in March. On the 5th anniversary of being issued my residence card, I understand that I will need to apply for PR and could then apply for naturalisation afte...

I moved to the UK in January of this year. My husband and I were together for 10 years prior to our marriage if that has any bearings under either route..? Staying under EU Law, do I apply for my PR status 5 years from the date of our marriage or 5 years from the date our residence cards were grante...
Would anyone be able to explain the ‘ppron’ method? My husband holds both Irish (obtained via decent) and British Citizenship (obtained by birth). I am a Non-Eea spouse and we both submitted an EEA1 and EEA2 application form based on his Irish Citizenship to obtain our Residence Cards in the UK ...
Enjoying married life is the main focus at the moment and being granted our residence card was the major hurdle. Anything after, i.e. the issue with the Schengen visa will be sorted out eventually I am sure. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for your reply. Abit relieved to know that the immigration officers can cross check my residence permit. As for airline staff, I will check in with my hubby at my side and guess walk with a simplified print out of the Directive. Abit more red tape: I have just also found out that I cannot app...
If your are self-employed, a letter confirming contracting of services will suffice. If you are employed by a firm, confirmation and a signed declaration may be more suitable. It is dependant on your circumstances, which ever is better suited to your terms of employment so long as you can proove tha...
No problem, now you have to wait for processing of your application which should take about 6 months, in the meanwhile- enjoy married life! If you were getting concerned about your applications, I suggest you call them to enquire of the progress. Any written correspondance should be sent via recorde...
I wanted to ask for some advice when re-entering the UK independantly of my husband. I am getting abit paranoid that with my residence card not being stamped in my passport will pose problems at the border. I am still awaiting a response from Solvit. When re-entering the UK, I am planning to take al...
On average, you should receive the COA within 3 weeks, If you have not heard back during this time, telephone them quoting your postal specail devlivery number requesting once be sent to you immediately.
I called the Home Office, where they essentially told me our applications had been split up, a note had been put in my husband's file, along with a copy of my passport and a confirmation that an officer had seen it, and that my husband's EEA2 application was still in the regular EEA2 queue in Croyd...
