We applied 2 days before you and got the biometrics letter a week ago.

You can't apply if you haven't exercised treaty rights in another EU country.

EEA FM, SS route. Sent: 4/7/15 Received HO: 7/7/15 Money deducted: 9/7/15 Biometrics Letter: 15/7/15 (dated 10/7/15), Biometrics submitted the same day. Still waiting for COA but we phoned them yesterday (20th) and they said "next week". It seems 2 weeks after biometrics seems to be the no...

Hi, I am making a SS application for my wife right now. All the other documents we have such as payslips, tax records, bank statements are only in Spanish.

Do I need to get a certified translator to translate every individual page into English or is it something I am allowed to do myself?

Thought I would share my experience of coming to the UK the other day with my wife, who is from the Philippines and me a Brit working in Spain. Arrived nice and early at the Brittany Ferries terminal in Bilbao. Ferry employee at the booth was friendly but unsure what to do, asked why she didn't have...

The new family visa rules are going to preclude that route to us, my fiance and I are due to get married in August in Hong Kong. She is a nurse and has been offered a job in the NHS which will be sponsored, the question she has though is if she is married to a British national and has a dependent ch...

Yes this is as I thought, I did think of this as a potential timetable however. June or July Leave China with her on a vistor visa, I start work in the UK. December (6 months later) when her visitor visa runs out she returns to China after which I will have worked in the UK for 6 months and makes th...

Hi, I am a British Citizen living in China. I have been researching this including reading this forum for over a year now and we are finally planning to move over in the summer. We will probably get married in Hong Kong in the next few months, probably just going to be a simple signing of documents ...

Hi, I am British and getting married to my Chinese partner soon, we both live in China and have no plans to leave. After we get married we are going to visit the UK and a week in Tenerife as part of this trip. My question was, can we get an EEA family permit to enter Spain for this holiday? Is it fr...

Hi, im in China right now. I have been with my girlfriend for about 18 months. She is about to graduate from University and I have been working over here. I have a job being held open for me at home and really want to return. We have talked about getting married however I feel that without already b...

My partner has a biometric visa but was never asked to provide fingerprints at the border, this was Humberside Airport though, I suspect they are rolling it out at the big entry points first.

You could chose to live with him in China, true there is no Chinese spouse visa however getting a job in China is as easy as eating lunch. The easiest way would be becoming an English Teacher, the official requirement is for a degree holder however its rarely enforced and your employer will probably...

Can my parents sponsor her? Im sure they would be willing to and they certainly have the means. My parents have visited China and met her before but dont you have to prove a relationship with the person?

hmmm, do we HAVE to show bank statements? The cost of flights would be somewhere around £800 or less, as ive got a lot of airmiles stacked up and living off family hospitality would require very little spending money. Another option is that I could take cash which is currently tied up in my company...

Hi, im a British citizen resident in China. Basically I want to take my chinese partner with me when I visit the UK for a month or two this summer. She is a student here with a year to go on her degree so Ill be covering most of the costs (credit card, plus family at home). Says on the website if I ...
