I am not a registered advisor, I work for a company that provides assistance with filling in forms, translation at interviews and general translation of documentation. The information I have given here and elsewhere is merely personal experience from other applications I have assisted with.

In order to get the card the Home Office would like to see your account details, it is unlikely your application will be successful if you send your friend's. If you go into a branch you can get a printout statement,most banks would be able to help you on the spot.

Hi,

the reason she cannot benefit from free movement is not because you are Bulgarian. Citizens of Bulgaria can benefit from free movement within the EU, however if she holds a Turkish passport even though she is your spouse she is a citizen of Turkey, i.e. a non EU state.

it does not take 3 months to get a yellow card, it does take less. Unfortunatelly the date you gave has now passed, but in future if you need your documents to go through faster you can do it through an agency, there are a few in the UK who offer fast service.

petkanov is right, but that requires your partner to attend a full time course which means 20 hours per week authorised work during the terms and unrestricted work during vacation time. Alternatively he can get self-employed and start working straight away without restrictions. In this case of cours...

It is in the works that he restrictions will be reconsidered in 2012. However with the number of Bulgarian and Romanian nationals seeking employment here my personal opinion is that it is unlikely that the restrictions will be lifted. If you're coming to do a Masters your university is likely to pro...

Unfortunatelly it is very likely they will consider your application to be too late and reject it. Regarding the sandwich course, internships and placements on courses like that are generally considered a part of the study curiculum rather than lawful employment. However, if you are looking for a jo...

If your wife does not have a Bulgarian passport as your spouse, she cannot benefit fro free movement within the EU as she in fact is not a EU citizen. However, it is fairly easy to get the visas required to travel in Europe as she is the spouse of a EU citizen.
