Thanks, vinny, we learned that. Thank you, zerubbabel, so much for taking the time to answer so much! Seems like the best thing would just be for us to not think about citizenship now and just focus on getting on with life and emmigrating. That sounds like a horrible situation to be in for so many B...

Hi, Thank you for that. He's always baulked at spending 5 times how much it costs in Sweden to do it at the embassy here. :roll: But we're just going to go ahead and do that, now! His mum had two children before him and always thought she had to register the birth before he was 18 for him to be Brit...

Just want to update for anyone who might come across this somewhat unique situation. I'm going to contact an immigration lawyer as I feel this might be a bit much for online forums. I'll update later when I find out what they say but I'm leaning towards we'll likely have to reapply for a new visa fo...

1984.

Hello, I've been perusing the boards for the past hour and can't quite find the answer so am hoping someone else might know. My husband's Swedish passport is soon expiring and since he can't get home to renew it we're talking about applying for his British passport. He never knew he was actually alr...

Nevermind, I realise looking at the application it would make sense to continue along the EEA route as I currently am and wait the 12 months.

Hello, Please let me know if this would be better answered in a different category as I'm not 100% certain if this is the right one. My EU husband and I have been granted ILR/settled status as we were eligible for the early scheme (I have a Biometric Residence Card). He's been living here nine years...

Thank you!

*And just to be clear, I'm not trying to get around the law. Just figure out what my best course of action should be.

Thanks Richard W. I'll have to check out the McCarthy thing you mention. Also just came across a sticky about dual EU/UK citizens so I'll read through that stuff, too.

Thanks! Although I do still wonder if this means I'll eventually be able to apply for British Citizenship or is that just out of the running now? As far as the authorities are concerned, he's Swedish as his mum never registered his birth.

Although thinking about it now... would not his 25 years in Sweden and then coming to work / study here count as a Surinder Singh type entry?

Whoops, sorry, just realised I miss-read your earlier post and that only applied to pre-1983. Oh dear, guess we ought to figure what we're doing quickly!

He was born 1984.

Ah, cool so he's not British yet. Good to know we're not accidentally skirting any laws! Thanks for your response. I imagine it would be best to just wait and see what's happens, whether he should apply for me to stay depending on the results with Brexit.

Thanks again!

Hiya, This question spans a few different categories so please correct me if I need to post this in a different forum title. So my husband is European, I am non-European and on a family member of an EEA person residence card (EEA2 I think). The time has come around for me to renew my permit (whoa, t...

Hi there, I've searched a bit on the forums but haven't quite come across the answer I'm looking for so I hope someone might help. I arrived in the UK on an EEA Family Permit in Dec 2011. I did not receive my EEA Residence Document until May 2013, but I was continually resident from Dec 2011 (not ou...

Hi there, I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum. Please let me know if I ought to repost elsewhere. Firstly, a bit of background. I am an American living and working in the UK with a five year residence card as a family member of an EEA national. I have been living here three and a half years...

The parts underlined do not appear to be consistent with either the directive nor the regulations. In the case of students, a declaration is meant to suffice. Yeah, I was a bit baffled...We acquired a declaration from his University stating he is a student, how long he would be doing his PhD, and h...

Thank you everyone! Jambo, I was actually thinking about that option, not applying for a FP since I'm a non-visa national, but after reading through so many people having trouble coming in and how the UKBA 'strongly recommends' applying for it I was getting nervous! I think I actually feel more comf...

Hello all, I am an American married to an EEA national. He is currently studying (PhD) in the UK and receiving a stipend and I am working in the UK part time. When I first came over (Dec 2011) I applied for the 6 mo. EEA FP and was approved. I later applied for my Residence Card, was denied (didn't ...
