Speak to your embassy in UK, set out the difficulty you have, ask if they will issue a replacement passport. Worth a try anyway!

See my post above, to clarify further - if your solicitor issues ancillary relief proceedings the decree absolute may be delayed and in the ancillary relief proceedings you can ask for specific financial discovery. Such discovery may be sufficient for your application to UKBA. You need to act fast h...

If you make an application for spousal maintenance, you will be able to request 'discovery' of your wife's financial circumstances in the divorce proceedings, this may be the same evidence you need to show her exercising treaty rights. Your application for spousal maintenance may not succeed, but at...

I find this an interesting post. I would also be interested in knowing if anyone has made the request for the return of their passports in tandem with their application? For what it is worth I made a request for the return of an EEA national's passport in August of this year, I still await the passp...

You'll need to show evidence of job-seeking, registration with a recruitment agency etc for example

I think the effect will be noticeable upon those in durable partnerships. If the partnership ends they are no longer a family member of an EEA national and then the non-EEA national would then immediately lose the right of residence. This has always been the case. It did not change following the ne...

Here is the UKBA position of the changes and the transitional provisions - From: European Operational Policy Team Subject: Revision to the Definition of EEA National Date: 16 July 2012 Issue number: 09/2012 Purpose of notice 1. This notice replaces European Operational Policy Notice 07/11 and provid...

You cannot extend the family permit, however you can apply for another one at any British diplomatic post abroad that accepts visa applications, the nearest likely to be Dublin or Paris, Dublin having the advantage of being within the common travel area. You won't of course get any advice from UKBA ...

Jambo do you have an authority for saying it does not reset on every entry? Other than what Regulation 13 states? No. Are you saying that if I take the ferry to France/cross the border to Ireland every 3 months, then I will obtain PR after 5 years without the need to exercise treaty rights? No I'm ...

It's once per a residence period. If you leave the UK for over six months (and break your residency period) and move back, it would start again (together with the count for the 5 years).

My recollection is that you have to be resident in Scotland at the date the course starts. I also recall to be classed as a home student that you have to have been resident in the United Kingdom and islands in the 3 years prior to the commencement of the course (not simply resident in Scotland). As ...

No obligation to, but she may be asked, despite the Border Force Manual also confirming that she should not be asked!

She can claim job seekers allowance, and register as a job seeker that will cover her as exercising teaty rights for at least six months (of course with interruption for child-birth!), I would say apply right away for the RC.

Not enough information in your post to give an answer. You need to give dates (when you got the Residence Card, when relationship with EEA national ended, why it ended) and length of residence etc

May be worth having a copy of this case with you on your journey -

Try claiming benefits, even just to get national insurance credits. This puts the onus upon them to steer you to obtaining a NINO. They can process a benefit claim clerically and give you a temporary number which is often your date of birth with 'TN' as a prefix, best not to take no as an answer, es...

I think it would help you if her residence paper is an EEA family member version, if you were in Ireland you are hence in the Common Travel Area, you then can assert your treaty rights and enter the UK without having to satisfy port entry clearance officers!

Does your wife have a - "family member" residence permit issued by Greece? In which case she can travel to Ireland which states Georgians are visa required unless in possession of a "family member" residence permit issued by Greece to a family member of an EEA national, or nation...

Did you actually apply for an EEA Family Permit? The refusal reasons look more like a refusal of a spousal visa under UK immigration Rules.

Yes, but expect frustration! You need to prove the Treaty rights by other means, which could be more difficult to prove in the case of extended family members, need to evidence relationship to EEA national and dependency/membership of the household. If all fails refer to the directive - Article 25 G...

Apply for an EEA permanent residence document, then wait 12 months and naturalise, that would be the most straightforward way to do it. Although as you are a British citizen would she need to wait 12 months before naturalising? Might be worth investigating if she needs to wait 12 months after obtain...

I can't see any reason why you would be unable to claim housing benefit etc. Your wife would be entitled in her own right to claim such benefits as she is a family member of an EEA national and as you are aware because of your working outside the UK in the past you have treaty rights. There is almos...

Yes he has the same entitlement as you to claim benefits, he is not classed as a 'person from abroad' for benefits purposes and is exempt from the habitual residence test. The benefits office staff may try to give him the run around though! Print this out and get him to take it along when he is havi...

There is a strong force in the Good Friday agreement argument if the person is a Citizen but never applied for a British Passport, rather the person from the onset has claimed Irish Citizenship and never considered themselves british. If however there is evidence that Irish Nationality was only sou...
