I'm in the same boat. My EEA2 application went in on the 1st December but we didn't include our passports as surprise surprise some people need to travel. Never mind the grief I have had at Heathrow two out of four times being told to wait for 30 minutes and been made to look like a criminal while t...

I currently have an EEA2 application underway which was received by the HO on the 1st December 2007. We did our application with the assistance of a solicitor and provided certified copies of our passports so we could travel. Currently the BIA website says they are still looking at applications rece...

Can I please ask this again:

Is there anything I can print out legally that could strengthen my case at the border?

Thanks, Tom Is there anything I can print out legally that could strengthen my case at the border? If I can present some 'evidence' to support my entry then I could at least feel a little better about travelling and have some HO or BIA documentation to back me up rather than saying I've spoken to so...

I have an EEA2 application in progress since 30 November 2007 after marrying my French wife in July 2007. I have been on a Work Permit since 2002 which expired in January 2008.

How can I get a visa if the French don't issue one without 3 months left on a UK visa.

I could go skiing in Switzerland but it's not quite the same going by myself when all your friends are elsewhere.

I am a South African citizen living and working in the UK. I have been on a work permit for 4 years and married a French citizen in France in July 2007. My work permit expired on the 17th January 2008 but I applied for a Family Permit based on my marriage to a French wife with form EEA2. This applic...

Thanks for all the information thsths. I'm a little uncertain how a family permit differs from a residence card. If I am currently applying for a residence permit with form EEA2 how is this different from a family permit and what are the implications of being comitted to EU law? Am I able to get a f...

I'd like some advice please to check whether I am applying for the correct visa and what my future residency options are. I am South African and have been in the UK since May 2000, initially as a Working Holiday Maker and then on 2 Work Permits since January 2002. I met my French wife in June 2000 a...
