Seriously, it will be the worst decision you will have ever made. I've lived here in London all of my life and it is a nasty, dirty, overpopulated, expensive, violent city and i cannot wait to leave.

2 years then probationary citizenship for minimum of 1 year. What i'd like to know is what does someone have to do in that 1 year in order to qualify. Would they even have time to work?

It seems like they are even making it harder, depressing and complicated new law and calling it green paper. It should be called as toilet paper. The people who migrate do want to be a part of the society asap but they have found a new way to seperate them out. My question is , does this also effec...

Based upon what they're saying.. It's probably not that different.. It would be 2 years of residency, which would have limited benefits.. and then 1+ years of "probationary citizenship", that would be only 1 year if your spouse were to volunteer enough (based on criteria not yet determine...

I'm trying to get my head around this, i really am, but cannot work out how this will affect my situation. I am a UK citizen and my American spouse will be coming to live with me in London, in September. What will the route to citizenship look like for her now? Before it was 2 years residency, then ...

Thanks for the in info hopehan, puts me at ease a little

Thanks alot for the clear info yankeegirl, it's strange isn't it, you'd think they would want to interview people in person wouldn't you? ahh well.

Smooth operator, thanks for the help aswell, i was asking on my behalf for when i get married to my American girlfriend next June.

Thanks again

I was recently told on this forum that the EEA Family permit applicaitons are no longer done face to face, but are now by mail/courier only, is this also the case with the UK Spouse visa? or can you still apply in person.

Thanks,

Thanks alot for the info mate

Yes, i'd like to know a definitive answer to this also as i've read 3 months is required, while i read on another website that 6 months is required.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Jaj, thanks for your post, i had a look into the PPRON method briefly and it states that is for only British citizens, would this mean i would have to get my wife to the UK via a UK spousal visa? do you think i'd get a spouse visa with the evidence that i've listed?

thanks for any help mate.

Didn't think of that, thanks. So you think this evidence will suffice for the EEA Family Permit? as proof of relationship that is.

Around 30 photographs over 3 diffrent outings Letters, Emails going back 8 months I am employed full time and have about 3000 gbp in savings We will be living in my 1 bed flat in London We met in December 2006 through mutual friends when she was visiting London. The wedding will be the 3rd meeting. ...

Which route would you guys suggest i take? considering that i will only have photographs, letters, emails, plane ticket stubs and a marriage certificate as evidence.

Thanks so much for your help!

Thanks for the replies,

In light of the evidence that i would have to show, the only real difference between the EEA route and the UK spouse visa route is the cost?

Damn, it sounds so much easier when yankeegirl got hers!

Do you think mine would be rejected if we only provided marriage certificate and some photographs as evidence?

Thanks again, i'll do some more research!

Hi Victoria, if they do require more evidence than the marriage certificate why do they not mention it in the application form? I wish they would just be clear about things like this!

Do you have any suggestions on what we could provide as evidence?

Thanks again

Thanks victoria, i did consider the UK visa route but it was very expensive and i was told that it's easy to get rejected and when i consider the fact that me and my girlfriend have only met twice with only a few photographs and emails as evidence, i'm quite sure we would be rejected! Yankeegirl, th...

Hey yankeegirl, thanks alot for the info, i'll be spending the next few hours on those websites lol. When i go over to the states in June to get married, do you think we would be able to complete the application process within 3 weeks? (work constraints :roll: ) assuming that i will be using the cou...
