Hello guys! I'm back on this forum and hoping for your helpful advice as usual :) I am applying for British Citizenship following sucessfull EEA4 application and PR issued in January 2013 (took only 2 months for them to process the application!). However, I am confused about filling in the part of t...
I'm not sure what is going on there. We wrote to MP providing the links to HO website where they give the info about passport return and also pointed out that before I applied I had called HO with this question and was told there wouldn't be any problem. However, MP merely replied that it does look ...
From reading some of your other posts, it sounds like you sent your request to RODRequests@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk? Was it a response from that email address that told you that your application would be put on hold? I'm just wondering if it is some kind of standard response, which doesn't apply to EE...
Hi again everyone! I've got a question about passports return. I've asked for them to be sent back to us but HO said that if they do it they will put my application on hold until I send the passports back to them. This is totally new to me, I have never heard anything of the kind. They said they hav...

It wouldn't be bad if they dramatically improved on the processing times as well
In a recent thread it was suggested that the best method was to write to them using traditional snail mail using special delivery. No harm in trying multiple methods though. I think I'll try both methods then. As for sending them a traditional letter, I've enclosed a letter explaining the situation...
Posted EEA4 application today. Now have a question about passports return. On the website under European applications there is an email address I should email to to request the passports back and it should take 10 working days to get them. However, when I called HO with the same question they said I...
I presume you mean PR Confirmation following EEA3 application and not a Residence Card (following a EEA2 application). Yes, that's what I mean, PR following EEA3 application. Just the blue booklet (and his passport). No need for the employment papers. That's perfect, thank you :) I think the bookle...
Update. Got the Residence Card today!! It took them 4 months and 2 weeks to do it. They didn't say anything about his 18-months' unemployment or not having SI. Now I am going to apply on EEA4. Can anyone advise if I can just send over my husband's permanent residence card with my application and not...
He was working at that time and we applied as a worker.
No, I didn't apply for EEA4. I wanted to see first what happens with his application. If it's aproved I will apply, if it's refused, then... I don't know.
If you apply by post, passports are normally returned when a decision is made (several months). If you apply using NCS, you get to keep your documents as NCS would certify the copies and forward the application on your behalf. I was talking now about his application for EEA3 - I want to see if it w...
There are more ways to exercise treaty rights than just employment (for example self-sufficient - living off savings or your earnings although in this case you are required to hold a private health insurance). They made the requirement for this insurance in 2008 and it wasn't there in 2006 therefor...
It actually also depends a bit on your good behaviour: that you are not (1) an ongoing threat to national security or (2) an ongoing threat to big public policy. But those are generally easy to satisfy requirements for most applicants. This bit is easy so far but if HO manages ro ruin our holidays ...
Did you complain in 2006 that it is not fair to be judged by your partner's nationality or were you happy to be able to live in the UK based on his nationality? ;-) I'd have preferred to do it on my own but there was no choice ;) And in any case, I didn't expect him to spoil everything by not worki...
Even for naturalisation? It's totally not fair :( How so? In the way that it's not fair to judge someone on somebody else's merit. It's irrelevant what I've been doing but it's relevant what my husband's been doing. Is it fair to judge me by his actions? In any case, I understand the logic behind n...
Can I ask you guys here please? In case non-EEA family member of an EU national applies for naturalisation without getting PR first, the form requires sections 2.4-2.6 to be filled in, which is basically to show employment (or other excercising Treaty Rights status) for the last 5 years. It also ask...
Applied on Wed 26th June 2012. Requested passport back this morning - hopefully they'll send it back quick as we are going on holidays in 4 weeks. We'll see what they say. Applied as a job seeker.
[quote="No, they can't. And I can ask for both passports back, not only my EEA spouse? Judging by the rules above, my husband won't be able to qualify as a worker as his unemployment lasted longer than 6 months. In this case is it better for him to state he was a job-seeker or self-sufficient?...
and from the regulations, reg 6 (2) A person who is no longer working shall not cease to be treated as a worker for the purpose of paragraph (1)(b) if— (a) he is temporarily unable to work as the result of an illness or accident; (b) he is in duly recorded involuntary unemployment after having been...
You could argue that the home office have already seen your passports from previous applications and so would not need to see them again and others have done just this. I think it is going to take much longer and will be more complicated than just sending in the passports and requesting them back. ...
Hi All! I was wondering if anyone here can help or give advice on the situation. My husband is Spanish and I am not from an EU country. Both my husband and I have been living in the UK since 2005, got married in October 2007 and so I will have to apply under EEA4 in October this year as my current v...
