Hello, I recently got an EEA family permit approved and feel I should make a post based on my experience. First, my situation was as follows: - I am married (have been for four years). - I am not an EEA national, and my spouse is. - My spouse is not a national of an ascension state. - We are not cur...
Yes, I picked them up first thing in the morning. Waiting time was about 3 days longer than the longest times reported on the web site for February, 2011, which isn't too far from what Worldbridge claimed (2 days longer on average). By the way, I had emailed this address two days ago with a complain...
Just sent to UKBA: "Processing problem for EEA family permit applications submitted from Dusseldorf, Germany since March 1, 2011 My aim is to report a major problem with processing of EEA family permit applications submitted within the EU. With the recent closure of the Dusseldorf consulate off...
Hey ukde, Called Croydon directly today, of course they couldn't tell me anything. emailed the solicitor, no reply. Wrote to some dude that I found online who also submitted an EEA FP application at Dusseldorf on March 16 (21 working days ago, or just short of a month !) and still no word that it's ...
ukde, Thanks for the info. Not very re-assuring, but at least it's good to know that there's not necessarily something wrong with my particular application that's causing the delay. If the delay gets to be long, like more than 15 working days for example, what recourse is there ? Would it help to co...
Sorry for the misinformation. I admit it's probably out of date. The web page I pasted it from was dated 2008 So I have to stop second-guessing and just wait for the decision. I expect it to be approved if the sickness insurance letter is accepted. I'll post the results and the processing time (also...
Hmm, yes, I knew that it's not legal to refuse an EEA national / family member under 320, but I also found this today: "If a non-EEA family member of an EEA national is applying for an EEA Family Permit under the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006, they cannot be refused unde...
From UKBA: "Motoring offences dealt with by way of a fixed penalty notice are not criminal convictions." I think how it works in The Netherlands is that if a camera catches a car going faster than the speed limit, a fixed fine is applied up to 40 km/hour. If the speed is more than 40 km/ho...
Good point. The solicitor seems to be working for the employer to cover their butts, but not much for the end customer. Anyhow I spoke to the solicitor again yesterday on the phone. Something else came up in my case... I think my wife my have gotten caught by a camera 2 or 3 years ago going more tha...
Sorry about that, got mixed up on the dates. It was submitted first thing in the morning on March 28, which would be 10 working days. Funny thing is I'm an engineer by trade ! I submitted in Dusseldorf because the Amsterdam Worldbridge office is now non-existant and Netherlands applicants are instru...
Hello all. I've enjoyed reading many of the posts on this board... intriguing stuff mentioned and some very knowledgeable people. On to the point. I'm an American national living in The Netherlands, with my wife and son who are both German nationals. I've been offered a dream job recently in the UK ...
