Hello Darya. Where does your parents live? Do they own that house? What is sufficient depends on where your parents live and how much they need to survive each month. For example If they own a house, they will not be considered as dependent on you. I have so far not seen any case on this forum where...
Thank you very much for this information. If I choose to live in Dorset will 25K be enough then? Plenty of people survive on less. i would suggest you look around at properties in your chosen area to see how much rent is likely to be on this website: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/ You can also calculat...
If I choose to live in Dorset will 25K be enough then? The average salary in the UK is £25k. London is a very expensive city to live in, and to try to live with the salary you have been offered, requires a lot of discipline and budgeting. Keep in mind there are people earning even less than that. If...
Thanks for clarification. As mentioned in my post this job is in Dorset. Well done with the job offer siv123! Could you just clarify where the job is though please as Dorset and London are two different areas of the country and are a couple of hours and a good 100 miles apart. The cost of living bet...
Dear everyone, I have been offered a job in UK with a annual salary between 18-25K. This Job is in Dorset, London. I don't have any experience of living in UK. Do you think it is enough to survive in UK?. My spouse might not be able to get any job right away. Please give me some advice. Your reply w...
It seems like that being unemployed currently makes you undesireable in UK. I don't understand why people mention that they will live indefinitely in UK. EEA family permit is only valid for 6 months which means you need to apply for Residence card within this period. It is perhaps better to state on...
Hi Kadsac, What do you mean by two stamps in the passport? Do they stamp in your passport If you withdraw your application? My husband withdrew his family permit application from the same embassy a couple of times because on both ocassions they took more than 4 weeks to process. We just simply rang ...
Thank you very much for your advice. I really appreciate your help! I would hope they would give you the passport back. I would be very explicit that you need it to travel, but that you would like to continue the application. Ask them the reason for the delay. They might even issue the EEA FP there....
Hello. This is exactly what I am trying to do. But they keep repeating that they are not finished and don't know how long time it will take. For me the time is running very short and choices are limited. What I am afraid is that when I will try to bring back passport they will automatically cancel a...
Hello everyone, I am European national. MY dependent parents applied for EEA family permit at UKBA. After three weeks I contacted UKBA for the progress of application. The first told me that decision was taken. After another three weeks they said that it was a preliminary decision. Now I have receiv...
No. The reason is that It can take upto 20 days to get a response and it won't help me at this stage when I really need my documents back from the UK embassy. But I will off course complain to UKBA centrally after I withdraw my application. You have complained to the embassy. Have you also complaine...
Hello, Finally I have been able to communicate with the UKBA Office. They first said that they will try to finalize it today, few hours later it was still unfinished. In my last talk with them they said "no guarantees". This is really hopeless situation particularly because they have alrea...
Thank you very much for your advice. I would suggest you request your passport back urgently but do not withdraw the application. Also use http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/aboutus/contact/makingacomplaint/ to complain (today) about the fact that your visa application is being processed so slowly. T...
I have been trying to phone them, but they do not receive any visa calls. They recommend to call Worldbridge Services. Even it don't help with Worldbridge as they do not offer any information on phone but suggest to send an email enquiry through their online system or withdraw application. I have al...
I sent a complaint online through Worldbridge Services 3 days ago. No reply so far. The last reply from embassy on my email enquiry was 10 days ago. Decision taken, but it is still under review. According to embassy it is standard procedure to review decisions before they are sent to applicants. Now...
Hello everyone, Does anybody knows how to withdraw an application for EEA family permit? Actually, we need to travel abroad urgently and therefore need passport back immediately. UKBA in Stockholm has already taken 6 weeks in processing. Do I have to submit withdrawal form in person or can I just se...
No. They never sent any letter. What is max allowed proccessing time? Didn't you receive a letter informing you in relation to the progress time ? I thought it was standard for the embassy / home office to send a letter advising of the duration it takes to process applications. Just wait and see. :D
Perhaps your judgement is correct. We must wait and see the outcome. However, I have read many cases on this forum where UKBA clearly violates the free movement of EEA/EU citizens and their family members. Their agenda on many occasions unfortunately seems to discourage free movement of family membe...
Your husband must provide UK embassy the divorce order for his first marriage. hi guys well my husband just got phone call today from the UK embassy from Istanbul to go there next week for an interview. Apparently they concerned about our marriage, and the fact the he was married 10y ago to an irish...
