Can step father apply for non-eea children to settlement scheme as guardian/Parent or does it have to be mother (non eea as well but she will only qualify for pre settled ?). Step father is relevant person of Northern Ireland so if does application then children should be able to get settled status....
I can now answer some of my own questions. 1. I, myself, can't apply as have both UK and Irish passports and won't let you apply as UK dual national. Think guidance makes this point now. May be able to do it if take line Irish only. Not a lot to be gained but would have been useful to allow wife's a...
As of Monday should be able to submit relevant person if northern Ireland application to cover family. Definition of EEA citizen on Monday includes relevant person of northern Ireland who is irish, British or both. Initially I thought I can apply as have both British and Irish passports but looking ...
When read this initial thoughts that came to mind are: 1. Is her employer paying her to attend the university course ie is this her job or is she a true student ? If her job then arguement that working away during the week similar to someone with traveling job staying in an hotel. 2. What is she doi...
Not sure if I am missing something but isn't one option to get marriage visit visa for your partner to UK, get married here (you talked about registration in Czech republic so assume you are considering this) when expect relationship would be recognised and then apply as spouse of EU citizen. Not a ...
Just noticed the reference to moving back to Ulster and wondered if you were born there and met definition of relevant person of N Ireland as detailed in document below. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/885021/CCS207_CCS0520583832-001_St...
Tend to agree that if possible try and stay long enough to qualify for Irish passport and get it for both of you. Means can both live in any EU country which is a big plus. If really no option and have to move to UK then my brief reading of appendix EU is that you would be a qualifying British citiz...
He does not have to - only you but may be easier. Process and info required as I understand it is considerably less and less stressful than UK fiance visa or UK spouse visa. If you have completed one of those should be ok. Probably good to have marriage certificate before applying. https://www.immig...
Requirement is that partner was born in N Ireland. That is the key requirement. If not born in N Ireland will need to have been exercising treaty rights or had irish citizenship then naturalised as british. As of 24th August on that basis you can apply for eu settlement scheme. Not 100% sure but thi...
Suggest having a read of link below. https://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/anxious-regarding-eu-settlement-application-with-northern-ireland-spouse-issue-t302290.html I was quite surprised at result and from details expected him to be rejected and have to reapply after 24th August...
Have a read of this thread. https://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/anxious-regarding-eu-settlement-application-with-northern-ireland-spouse-issue-t302290.html Just been sucessful in achieving eu route. Having read it did think whether should just apply now in our case although we h...
Don't normally like being proven wrong but in this case I'm delighted as did think they would apply the rules as now as opposed to what they are changing to. Home office applying common sense.
This is the De Souza case scenario. Your wife was born in northern Ireland to parents who were born in northern ireland. As far as UK nationality law is concerned she is British. At the same time based on Irish nationality law she is Irish. Up to 24th August as far as home office is concerned she is...
Easiest option is to use the eu settlement scheme if he is 100% Irish and does not have claim to British citizenship ie. born in Ireland to 100 % Irish parents and really want to do that before 31st December. There are fair number of opportunities to have claim to British citizenship and he needs to...
Don't think you need solicitors and we haven't used any either for visas or adoption. I'm a fan of doing my own research and reading a lot. One thing to be aware of us that adoption will be recognised in UK but not necessarily abroad so may be necessary to do work abroad if want to retain child's or...
Actually in the same situation and the local authority and courts are aware of fact that child is from overseas. Link provided is for adopting a child from overseas as opposed to adopting a child who is already in the UK. Also need to remember this is step child adoption which is simpler. One key is...
That was my understanding of pre-settled status. I think that route offers significant advantages over the current spouse visa route and dont think there us a loss of credit for time in UK. Ie shoukd be able to apply for settled status at the point of 5 years after arriving in UK which was a concern...
Seen the link else where and been trying to track sone more detail on it. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/885021/CCS207_CCS0520583832-001_Statement_of_changes_in_Immigration_Rules_CP_232_PRINT.pdf Interesting in that definition is born ...
She can get a marriage visit visa which allows you to get married in uk. Lasts 6 months and she HAS to leave the country at the end of visa duration. She CANNOT apply for settlement visa in UK. Can only get married at certain registry offices. We did that as suited our circumstances and only had the...
He would have to be resident in Saudi to get married at Embassey. Marriage visit visa to UK would probably be best option but depend on how much time she could get off to get to UK for marriage. Could then look to do spouse visa application from saudi to match end of work permit to avoid returning t...
If you want to open an account before arrival biggest issue will be finding a bank that will let you open an account without proof of residence. Wanted to open an account wgen my wife was here on visit visa and had no luck with my bank in UK. When we looked had to be resident and have proof. For tha...
Interestingly I've started process of adopting my step children (3 and 6) so looking for any information or experience on this one. Been in the children's life since before birth of youngest although long distance relationship at that point. No father on youngest birth certificate and no hope of fin...
Our experience on non priority last year was it was about a month or so before got the email. Depending on what country you apply from paying the IHS using the UK gov site may be cheaper as if your country of origin is not required to pay in pounds you have to pay at a very bad exchange rate. Up to ...
