Dear all, Yesterday we have had some great news, my husband's application for Dutch citizenship has been accepted. I was wondering what this means for our life here in the UK. He works full time, I am pregnant and planning to be a stay at home mum. We are not planning on getting PR here in Britain, ...
So in that case it does not matter if we have PR or not? We would have the same rights as British Nationals? I am thinking of the future if we ever get children and they need to go to school etc?
Dear All, After another frustrating call with the Home Office I am none the wiser and would like to ask you one more question regarding my situation. I know I have been exempt from the SCI rule as a student, as I applied and got my residence card before June 2011. Now my question is whether I am sti...
My apologies, I thought as this was more about insurance in particular I should open a new topic. We had to inform them beforehand if either of us had any conditions but we don't have anything thankfully. I did just called Bupa and they said our cover is not fully comprehensive. My husband is going ...
Dear all, Thanks a lot for all your replies. I just checked with Home office and they said that as long as I can show a valid certificate with ANY private insurance that should be sufficient. They said as Bupa is a well known company that it should be fine. Also checked with their website to double ...
Just called Home Office to ask them. They answered that it would be sufficient to show ANY private health insurance as long as we can show a valid certificate. When I said that I heard alot of scary stories about people having that and still being refused she said that as Bupa is one of the larger c...
Dear All, I am sorry to start about this one again as it is already mentioned in other posts, but it is still not clear to me which policy would be a good one. It seems that no one knows exactly but I would like to know if people know of any insurances which have actually been acceptepted by the Hom...
Thanks for the confirmation, that is a real relief. The only worry in that case would then be my husbands job as I think his employer won't be happy to keep him there if his residence card has expired and he doesn't get a replacement.
Thanks a lot everyone. I am still a bit worried though as I read so many stories of people being self sufficient and still being refused the permanent residence. Is it a safe option or is it better if I try to find work once I have handed over my thesis? And what happens in the case we are refused p...
When my husband applied for his Residence card, I applied and got a residence document without having any CSI. I also applied for and received a NI card though as far as I know no tax has been payed over my stipend. I believed being registered with the NHS was enought so up till now I was unaware of...
May I just clarify that I have also been covered by Bupa (does Bupa qualify as comprehensive sickness insurance?) since August last year (I had forgotten that). So does this mean I am now a self sufficient person and still excersising treaty rights?
My husband is covered by Bupa via his work. We have the option to include me in the policy as well, but so far haven't. Do you think he can get his perminent residence if we do?
Dear all, I am a Dutch PhD student who has been studying and living in the UK for the last three years with my Pakistani husband. He came here on a family permit and is now holding a 5 year Residence Card which is valid for a another 2-3 years. I have been getting a student stipend for the last thre...
