Thanks for your reply Obie. Really this forum is a life saver for us immigrants and their families! That said, they are plenty of situations like mine. Granted they were refused but then appealed succefully. Here's one from 2010 http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/eea4-on-5-year-...
Hi This isnt really a question, but I am interested to see if others had any experience Today I sent in my application for EEA4, i got married in December 2011, so next month it will be 4 years However I have lived with my EEA wife since late 2010, so I am applying on the basis of 5 years continuous...
Out of interest is there a website for tier 2 jobs? specifically for graduates or entry level jobs
it seems very hard for people to find them at the moment and I think a website which has links to jobs where companies are sponsoring could be very useful for people
Hey guys I'm an EEA family member and I have an EEA 2 permit I have been applying for shengen visas for the past 2 years when I had to travel without my partner My problem is the length of the visa is always exactly the length of my stay Sometimes I need to travel short notice and waiting 2 weeks fo...
FYI the course did not finish early, it finished the time it was meant to, but the Home office probably thought it was a 3 year course (because it is) but my friend already did the first 2 years in a previous uni all these details were made clear during the application, and its a degree transfer pro...
Hi My friends visa was granted for an extra 2 years. Their course ended in 2014 and they graduated but due to the a mistake with the home office they granted them a visa till 2017 they must have thought they were starting their first year instead of their last So my question is are they allow to wor...
Not really you can apply the day after you get married, if you have been togethor for 4 years that just makes your application stronger. All the best for the future!! Does anyone know if Non EEA and EEA couple need to wait a certain time to apply for EEA2? My partner and I have are about to get mar...
Does anyone know if Non EEA and EEA couple need to wait a certain time to apply for EEA2?
My partner and I have are about to get married after 4 years of being together but we have not lived together for the 2. We are both in full time employment
Hey guys I am planning to apply for an EEA2 application My girlfriend is Lithuanian but we have only lived together for 1 year, so we are planning to get married early next year If not married, you will need to be in a durable relationship for 2 years in order to be considered a family member of EE...
Hey guys I am planning to apply for an EEA2 application My girlfriend is Lithuanian but we have only lived together for 1 year, so we are planning to get married early next year My question is how do we prove she is exercising her treaty rights? Also is there a specific list of approved marriage cer...
But you've confused me here, so is a residency card not a spouse visa?? No. Residence card is following the EEA regulations. Spouse visa is following the UK national immigrations laws. These are two different routes. One for EEA nationals and one for British/non-British with ILR. Because if it isnt...
Residence card & PR = issued under EU directives. Spouse visa & ILR = issued under UK immigration laws. You cannot apply for "spouse visa" when your EEA national partner has not acquired PR / British citizenship on the date of such application. You can only apply for a residence c...
See also 2. Eligibility for permanent residence Has your EEA national partner acquired PR / British nationality? I see So the residency card is a visa for 5 years, so I could apply for ILR either at the end of the 5 years or at the end of my 10 years here But you've confused me here, so is a reside...
With regards to "settlement": 1. Under EU directives you may apply for settlement (PR - permanent residence) after 5 years of your stay in the UK. 2. You may be eligible for ILR (under UK immigration laws) under long residence as and when you complete 10 years lawful stay in the UK (inclu...
1. FLR(M) form is for reference only. FLR(M) form is not for you ... and so isn't any information related to FLR(M) application - other than making yourself aware of the type of documentary evidence(s) needed to prove cohabitation. 2. In light of above, that statement you quote is irrelevant to you...
will the fact that we have only lived together now for about 13 months affect my application? No, if you apply after your marriage to your EEA partner. Yes, if you are thinking of applying before marrying and before you complete 2 years' cohabitation period - as cohabitation for 2 years is a mandat...
1. Intending to marry before July 2012? If so, then you may apply for a residence card as a family member (spouse) of an EEA national. 2. To apply as family member (durable partner), you will need to provide to provide evidence of cohabitation for at least 2 years, so this may not be a suitable opt...
Hi I am currently on a PSW expiring in July 2012, I am currently working earning 30K Unfortunatly it seems that its company policy not to issue Tier 2 visas and I have only been working here for 2 months so leaving my job is not a viable option I have been living with my girlfriend who is an EU nati...
