Re: Change in claiming Treaty Rights with no re-registration

It'll probably help if you present a clear timeline My wife (Polish) came to the UK in 2007 and received her PR certificate in 2012. She was first a full-time worker, then a full-time student and a full-time worker at the same time (oh, dear...), then a job-seeker, unpaid trainee and a student concu...

Re: Can I have Tier2 and EEA2 at the same time

I have both Tier 1 (General), which expires on 28/11 this year and EEA2 RC. I've used both to come back into the UK after various foreign trips, and have never encountered any trouble. I did not send my BRP with the EEA2 application in late 2012, because they are entirely unrelated. I applied for my...

It's mostly your own making. Everyone told you to change your useless solicitor, but you ignored everyone , carried on throwing loads of money at this useless so-called solicitor.

Re: Overstay and Marriage

I have a Polish wife. I think your friend can acquire an EEA FP once they have got married in India (or anywhere), and I don't think he needs to wait for a year. The UK diplomatic post may refuse the EEA FP application on spurious and irrelevant reasons purely to delay the process and frustrate your...

Re: I'm giving up UK - What can I do to sue the government ?

I'm not a fan of any ragime in the UK, past or present, but based on my experience around Europe, the UK is by far the easiest place for someone like me, who looks entirely non-white. If you move abroad, you shouldn't expect a red carpet in front of you. If the official fails to act accordingly, tel...

Instead of relying on my dear Polish wife and the EEA2 RC, latter of which I obtained just as an experiment, I might actually acquire an ILR based on my T1(G) ...
