Theoretically, according to this directive, someone with an EU long-term resident permit should be able to move to and work in another EU country (excluding UK, Ireland and Denmark). Hi all, just to clarify: According to EU law someone with a residence permit in accordance with directive 2003/109/E...

My wife is from the USA and she is on a spouse visa which has a 2-year probationary period (ends 2 June 2011). That's pretty soon. Once she got ILR, there is no obligation to apply for naturalization. So she can just as well keep living in the UK with her ILR and only pay the 900 pounds. I have bee...

If you want to test-run your documentation, your partner could first apply for EEA1 via the same day service in Croyden.

Then you'll see if UKBA is happy with your CSI and how much details they want about your financial support.

a) Should I apply under my hubby as self sufficient, student or worker (actively seeking but not sure if can find job in months or so)? Worker would probably not go through if he is only a job-seeker. Both student and self sufficient require Comprehensive Sickness Cover; so if I were you I'd probab...

If he is self-employed, then he doesn't need to register with WRS and you can apply for EEA2 straight away, once you're married. Just be careful to supply proof of his self-employment and not to claim he was a worker instead.

I'm not sure if I'm able to retain rights in the uk please help. Any help would be appreciated. I don't see how you could with that story. Your EEA partner needs to be a qualified person throughout all the three years. Otherwise he not only jeopardizes the continuous time required for permanent res...

But what about my visa? It will expire on March, if I wait until May to apply can't they say I was staying unlawfully? The vignettes in the EEA system (Residence Cards, Registration certificates, FMRS and so on) only confirm a right that already exists automatically by law. So if your sticker expir...

It deals with EEA periods and ILR applications under the long residency rule: During their time here und...

As to my knowledge, this is only required for students and self-sufficient persons. Workers and self-employed don't need to show proof of Comprehensive Sickness Cover.

I don't think you can get any more useful advice than you've already been given.

FYI: Here is our experience from entering the UK without a Family Permit. But at that time I was traveling together with my wife; this clearly makes things easier at the border.
