Re: Does having Permanent Residence gives you a settled stat

First week of October. She cannot use FLR (M) with a visa less than 6 months. That was the reason I put in the application application before the deadline to apply.

FLR (FP) is likely to fail, given your circumstances, of that I am sure

You see, it appears that she wanted to trick me into making the wrong application so that she can easily refuse it.

Re: Does having Permanent Residence gives you a settled stat

I was furious at first, that the caseworker had refused the application. But having read OP subsequent post, I realised the caseworker was only being courteous in replying to him, and informing him that they have put his application on hold awaiting a conclusion from EU team as to whether he is eli...

Re: Does having Permanent Residence gives you a settled stat

Basically, my reason for calling her inept is because she doesnt seem to understand the differences between ILR and PR. She might be able to reject my wife's application on the basis that she hasn't seen the PR, but the decision wouldn't stand in the court if I'm given Permanent Residence Card befor...

Re: Does having Permanent Residence gives you a settled stat

She hasn't reject the application. I think what she was trying to point out was that I have applied for ILR and a decision hasn't been reached yet. The caseworker is inept. She doesn't know the difference between PR and ILR.

Re: Does having Permanent Residence gives you a settled stat

Thanks Guys. Should I put the warning letter in writing or fill a form? I sent the Caseworker a letter on Friday 17th of April about the errors in her decision. I would not consider this to be reconsideration as the application has not been refused yet. What she was saying was that my wife's applica...

Re: Application for FLR (FM)

Thanks for your advice.

Just a correction, under EU law a non EEA national acquire permanent residence (PR) after five years. EEA 4 application is for a confirmation of existing right rather than an application for the right to permanent residence.

You were just wasting your time. They dont know anything about immigration law. All you need to show are two documents; Proof of your treaty right and a valid RC. Spouse, children, ex spouse(RoR) and extended family members with a valid RC has the same right as their sponsor under EU law.

Not all information are available on that link. (1) The op is a famliy member of a settle person in the UK, therefore he/she doesnt have to be a settle person.
