know the feeling!!!

Something weird is happening with my application, maybe someone here can shed some light on it. I applied for EEA4 via Retention of Rights in October 2012, been chasing the UKBA like a mad person since the 6 months elapsed. I've complained twice via email and once via signed for delivery, no respon...

I have checked the requirements for family visitor's visa and it says that the family member in the uk (myself) needs to be "settled in the uk" in order to be a sponsor.
Otherwise , the person who will apply for the visa (my mother) needs to do it as a general visitor.

Whist not wanting to delve into the personal lives of people... It sounds like your partner may have already achieved PR (working for more than five years). It may also be possible that you also have achieved PR (easier to prove with certificate, but if not you may be considered a durable partner i...

To answer the question as to when you qualify PR, I would need to know the following. When did you enter the UK? Did you do so before or after your partner? What has your EU partner been doing in the UK? Have they been exercising treaty rights for five years? Frankly, other than living with the EU ...

Re: PERMANENT RESIDENCE CARD EEA4.

...It is very confusing this, because when I had this discussion with my employer, I phoned myself to the HO and they told me that NHS is right to give me only a fixed term contract because I have my residence card only on the basis of my civil partnership . And that it's up to nhs discretion. ... ...

Re: PERMANENT RESIDENCE CARD EEA4.

But it was agreed that my contract will become permanent when I will have permanent resident card in the UK (because I have a sustantive contract) That does not sound correct to me and it may be illegal. Would your employer treat a UK national this way? My employer is the NHS, and when I got the jo...
