Directive, I think that houser is the Romanian national, and his wife is non-EEA. So for PR purposes, it doesn't matter what she's been doing.

The advice given by your solicitor does not make any sense. It beggars belief that a solicitor can give such an advice. Firstly your wife cannot apply for ILR, the reason why i said so is because , she was not previouisly issued with a leave to remain but rather a residence card. Except she has had...
Also my wife's visa is expiring in Feb next year - should we apply after Christmas or before? Is there a limit on the PR card? I've just checked the EEA guide http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/eea/guide-eea.pdf 'Please note that this material is not applicable for Bulga...
PR will give you all right as British Citizen, except right to vote in general election. PR will make absolutely no difference to voting rights.

Thank you both for your reply. Just to get this straight - EEA3 for me and my son ( he has Romanian passport) and EEA4 for my wife - South african passport.

Hi Houser. As I said before, you can apply for a blue card which gives you the right to work here with no restrictions under the basis that you have legally worked here for more than 12 months. After you get urs, you can apply for ILR and our wife can apply for it her blue card, as a dependant. I'm...
Hi Raluca. Thank you for replying my post. The issue is that we've already applied for citizenship ( I have 9 years in this country) and they refused me ( loosing 800£!). Home office asked me to apply 1st for ILR. Also regarding the blue card - I do have more than 1 year of working in this country ...
Hello I've been living in UK since 2002, I've received the self-employed 1 year visa in 2003, then the 3 year visa in 2004 as self employed. Then 2007 came and Romania joined the EU. I got married in 2006 November and my south african wife received a 5 years dependent visa in Feb 2007 and I received...
