It is an option - to apply for a UK visitors Visa, but the requirements are greater than the EEA route. And as them visiting could become a regular thing, it could become costly.
Hi there, I am a UK Citizen with a non-EEA husband. We are both living together in the UK. As I was exercising my treaty rights in Ireland for 6months+ my husband was able to apply for and was granted an EEA family permit to join me when we decided to return to the UK in February of this year. My Hu...
Please re-read my post. You'll see I have made no insults whatsoever. As you say is acceptable, I am simply stating facts. I have no anger at all with UK immigration... I think they are doing their job... But I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't find out all the facts and try my best to do what's ...
Pennyless in india... if you'd bothered to read my reason for applying via EEA rather than UK, you will see that 'free' was not my main reason. Time was.

If it's not ready, he could always fly back ...

I didn't avoid UK im...
What if he hasn't yet applied for his 5-year permit? He was initially granted a 6-month UK entry visa under EU law (as an EEA family member) which expires in a week. If we hold off on applying for the EEA 5-year family permit, can we apply for a spousal visa or leave to remain under UK immigration l...
Hi there, Hope someone can help! My Husband entered the UK on a EEA family permit, which was granted in Republic of Ireland, where we were both living. Although I am a born British citizen, I was exercising my right in Ireland and so we were able to take the EEA route as it was easier, faster and ch...
