Does anyone know whether the UKBA carry out checks on applicants history at the British High Commissioners at applicant's home countries?

Are people in Scotland subject the same UK Immigration Rules? or is it a separate jurisdiction?

Thanks John. Benifa, have you come accross any case similar to this. Or have you got case law or guidance to support your argument that I do not qualify under EU as a sponsor. Obie, I am inclined to apply under EU regardless of the outcome, because the maximum the UKBA can is to refuse the applicati...

Thanks all, I did not know that my case was unique and that it would be bring such an intelliqual controversry. I agree form EEA2 does not accommodate for non-EEA with PR to sponsor a non-EEA national, but in the same time it would be unfair and illogical to be treated under the uk immigration rules...

I wrote to the HO European Enquiries asking about this.

I see the logic in Benifa's and Wanderer's arguements but there must be a guidance on this some where. Any idea where to search.

Have any one of the senior members had any similar situation.

Thanks all for the useful debate.

Thank you for your reply benifa.

I thought that ILR after 5 yrs for non-EEA nationals takes a different shape to distinguish it from ILR in the form of a stamp for other applicants.

Do you have any useful links to read about this topic.

I am non-EEA national currently holding ILR after 5 yrs of continuous residence as an extended family member of an EEA national.

Can my wife (non-EEA national) now apply for a Residence Card using EEA2 application and list me as her sponsor?

Thanks
