Hi, after having submitted an EEA2 application for my fiance last Aug we found out a couple of months ago that case was transfered to the Legacy team. Our worry at the moment is the changes occurring regards the whole 1st Oct deadline for voluntary return. As the legacy cases may not be resolved unt...
Sorry, having re-read my post I wasn't very clear about that - confusion & worry! Parental issues in Albania meant that he was known by a different surname to that on his birth certificate, passport, etc. It was his 'known as' name that he gave. This has since been rectified & immigration al...
I have spoken to the HO today & have been able to find out that our case is now with the 'legacy' team. I've had a quick read up about this & there does not appear to be a time limit on when they have to make a decision. Does anyone know if the post 1st Oct ban would still apply if we have a...
I have posted before but I'll give a brief overview before addressing my current query. Apologies in advance for the lengthy post. I am an Irish citizen engaged & living with an Albanian for almost 3 years (we have been in a relationship for 3.5 years). He entered the UK 9 years ago as a port en...
We now have Solvit involved with my fiance's application, which was 9 Aug 2007. Today Solvit have told us that the HO have said the reason they haven't made a decision is because they are waiting for us to return the Method of Entry questionnaire they sent us in Jan, & so our application is not...

I have had similar experience - I was told on the phone that the 6 months is merely a guideline. However, having contacted SOLVIT they have advised that the HO is in breach of the regulations by going over the 6 months.
I've just had a look at their website, will they take the case on as my fiance is Albanian? Or is it enough that I'm EEA national & it's an EEA application?
Having read this discussion I have a query - my fiance currently has an EEA2 application under consideration (since Aug 07), he is Albanian & was a port entry - I'm wondering could it be possible that if they decide to refuse his EEA2 that he come under the 10 year ban? & if so is it possibl...
Hi, we are also in a similar position - we applied for my fiance's EEA2 on 9th August 2007 & still no decision. We have now sent 2 complaints, 3 letters requesting infomation, & 4 phone calls! We have been told nothing as to why it is taking so long or what is going on, only the standard rep...
He has remained in the UK for the whole 8.5 years & arrived from Albania. We researched the definitions in law regarding unmarried partners before making the application! That's why we applied - we meet the criteria! If we didn't there would have been no point! My query with the post was regardi...
Non-EEA family member of EEA national, applied 9th August, since 6 month deadline expired have submitted 2 complaints, but still no answers & no real explanation as to why they are taking so long!

What do you mean by port entrys?
A port entry is where they have travelled without visa/documents but have declared themselves to IND on arrival at the port. It's all detailed in the EEA regulations, EC directive, & Euro casework instructions.
Hi there, about complaining, I dont know if it helps, we are also waiting for residence permit and we applied august 2007 we still got nothing, we tried to complain in dec, we got a letter, conforming our complain and that they will contact us in 4 weeks, but they never did. I call them nearlly eve...
What was his visa status in the UK for all those years? He wasn't given a visa & only got a passport 3 years ago! But having read through the Regulations & the Euro Caseworker Instructions we applied on the understanding that they still have to consider giving residency to port entrys &...
Thanks for that. Don't know if it makes any difference but he has been in England for 8 & 1/2 years & was given IND papers on entry which gave him temporary admission. I think our next move is going to be to send another letter asking for a proper explanation as to the delay & change of ...
Hi, I am an Irish citizen engaged to an Albanian. Back in August we made an EEA2 application as we had been living together for 2 years. He came into England as a port entry, but from the reading we'd done it seemed that he should be entitled to the residence card. In January we received a Method of...
