I would like to ask how and when you actually jump from UK law to EU law. I was previously on a work permit and married my French wife in France in July 2007. I returned from the wedding on the 22/7/2007 but entered the UK on my work permit which then expired on 19/01/2008. I had then applied for my...

Have spoken to the airline who say the don't deal with this as the ground agent will check documentation. I've tried explaining that they may not understand the documentation I would present but couldn't seem to get anywhere. I then called Heathrow T3 Immigration Office said they are getting strictu...

Anyone have any experience of convincing an airline to let you fly in this situation?

I'm also wondering if there's any way to prep the airline in advance so they can do their research to hopefully avoid missing a flight.

Once to US for a conference and once to EEA for family holiday.

I know its going to be hard but I really can't just not travel for 6 months and both of these trips are at least in my mind unavoidable.

OK, so maybe I need to wait, travel twice and argue my way back in and then apply for PR and hope I can manage the work travel.

I'm South African so a visa national. What will be difficult is 1st of all boarding a flight to the UK with an expired Visa and no new family permit. If I get on the flight, I will need to convince the immigration agent that I am in fact resident in the UK, am married and living with an EEA citizen ...

Thanks, that would of course be ideal but my 1st trip is in the next 10 days and I would never get my passport back in time. My other complication is my EEA2 has actually expired and so I would like to get my EEA4 application in before leaving the country and hopefully get a COA which would make ret...

I am able to apply for my EEA4 perm residence card but need to be available to travel internationally for work. Am I able to apply for an EEA4 with a certified copy of my passport but keep my original for travel? I know UKBA suggest you don't do this and I understand I may have issues getting back i...

So even though my now wife has been exercising treaty rights in the UK for more than 5 years and I have been resident in the UK for more than 5 years I cannot apply for PR using EEA4 route until 5 years after we returned to the UK after getting married, so in another 2 years +-3 months in my case? T...

Thanks for the quick response John. We have both been working full time in the UK since 02/2006 after returning from traveling. We took two weeks off work for our wedding. If I can only use the EEA4 route, does the 5 year timer start when I returned to the UK after our wedding, which in effect does ...

I am a South African passport holder trying to work out the best path for me to achieve UK citizenship. I arrived initially in the UK on 07/04/2000 on a 2 year Working Holiday Visa I met my now wife in 2000, who is French having lived and worked in the UK since 1998 I changed to a Work Permit which ...
