Only my father in law works and he is self employed.

Is there any other option other than UK family visitor visa?

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.

EEA Family Permit for non-EEA in-laws?

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. I do not set the immigrations rules so will not apologise that you have to pay and I did not. As you can see, I am now in a position where I am ab...

Appreciate that advice. Cape Town processing times on settlement visas are 96% by 10 days, 100% by 15 days so perhaps if we went for a few weeks we could submit all evidence and data on our day of arrival and hopefully have it issued by the time we leave. If it's not ready, he could always fly back ...

Unfortunately we needed to return to the UK urgently and with no savings or no option to wait up to 6-months for an answer on the UK route it made sense at the time to apply for EEA, which took less than 24 hours to be approved and was available for collection the following day. 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...
