At the end the real problem is no one knows the real answer. Our case is a little weird (I think) so it doesn´t fit in a particular place. The last time in HO the told us about this option and now the only think we can do is wait :( you don't fit in a neat little box, your girlfriend is an OFM, but...
if the what money is available question is answered with the total amount of money for the trip, flights and personal spending money and the other questions are answered adding up to the total there should not be a problem, the supporting letter can easily be used to clarify what amounts are what an...
An EU national will not get a residence card. That is for non-EEA national family members. As Bulgarians are EU nationals, that will not be issued to them. Have you read the guidance document? http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/bulgariaromania/guidanceforbulgariaromania0...
some embassies will accept personal translations, but I would suggest that they be done by an translation office in the country that your future MiL resides, generally this is usually much cheaper than doing it in the UK, you could translate and perhaps a solicitor who can verify the translations co...

Well, my understanding is the this right to live 'wherever he wishes' within EU as you said is at some extent correct, however, for Immigration purposes, the HO defines that after 5 years exercising treaty rights he is actually given the PR status, so please check your facts. If you are not an EU ci...
i amended my post, i had confused myself where you stated about the children, i was confused, but did not intend to appear rude. my apologies, your post threw me completely, i could see why an EEA national would be applying for PR. what confused me iwas your status, which you have clarified as you a...

Registered WR on May 2006, worked from May 2006 to October 2010. Unemployed-looking for work 3 months (with prove of this) Self sufficient with Comprehensive...
Hi, i am confused on what to do at the moment. I have lodge an application under Discretionary Leave Under Human rights article 8 last November 1, 2011 and until now my solicitor havnt heard anything yet from the Home office.

If a sponsor needs to claim more public funds to support the applicant, you must refuse the application. For example, if the sponsor claims income-based jobseeker’s allowance and this would increase if their dependant was granted leave as their spouse. You must refuse the application under the relev...
Does the deafening silence mean no-one has any actual legal evidence (as opposed to anecdotal evidence or hearsay) that it is safe for a sponsor to claim child benefit for a child subject to "no recourse to public funds"? Mark :? P.S.: For what it's worth I've written to the Home Office. ...
We have EHIC it should be enough. Not necessarily, the devil's in the detail. isn't pregnancy/childbirth a valid reason? maternity leave has to be employment? so to speak, is the OP not retaining the status of worker? the EHIC and CSI is a bit of a minefield ~ as a returning Brit the NHS serves as ...
do you think i should explain to the ECO why i wrote pakistan address on it or leave it to chance? and hope he doesnt notice NEVER leave anything to chance! you will be providing documented evidence of your address in the UK for the visa app, it could be that the ECO doesn't spot the discepancy, bu...
I assisted someone who was also an A8, and had similar experiences with the WRS ~ their non eu spouse wanted to join them in the UK on an EEAfp, strangely enough there was some common sense and logic applied by the UKBA... although the WRS time had not been completed, the A8 had indeed been working...
One person dealing with applications. Sounds like there was not enough then. I totally agree with you! I do think it depends where people apply, in which country... we didn't wait long to enter the embassy, but were threatened with arrest for applying for a visa, my freind was also threatened when ...

It was very kind of you to help your friends out. To my mind, the wait was excessive. but if there were a lot of people applying in person, and only one person to administer the paperwork? which is what was stated in the posts... Its quite annoying when EU citizens are refused entry to an EU embass...
your girlfriend as an A2 national has conditions on her residence in the UK, as your relationship most likely doesn't qualify under "durable" your own status is whatever it is on your own entry visa to the UK. The restrictions on A2 apply to work. In general, A2 need a work permit, ie per...
were you in a relationship prior to you both being in the UK? I will assume that you and your girlfriend have met since you both entered the UK.... you have met and formed a relationship, however that relationship is quite new, and by the legal benchmark, not yet "durable", although your r...
I've just reviewed article 13 of the directive. The advice you've been given does not appear to be inconsistent with what's written there. If you haven't done so already, why don't you read the directive, pay attention to article 13 http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2004:15...

@ Melc Apart from your entire reply, the funniest thing mentioned that you can attach photos of Buckingham Palace as well. How come? loooolz people have a tendency to enclose pics of "a house" with nothing to accompany it to evidence/prove that it is THE house ~ the address where the spon...
