Since you'll be leaving the country for more than 6 months in a year period you won't be able to apply for permanent residence using the period accumulated prior to you leaving the country, so I see no reason for you to keep paying CSI during a period which will be absolutely useless towards EEA4. J...

Why would they need his work history if what matters is if his wife was exercising Treaty Rights, fact demonstrated by her documentation?

Hello, Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but I don't think you would qualify as a durable partner. From chapter 5 of the European CaseWorker Instructions: Durable Partners The following conditions should normally be satisfied: The parties have been living together in a relationship akin to marria...

Hi, okay so a big change in our situation - I now have a full time paid job. Happened today with something I had applied for last week. Please can you give advise on the best route forward - do we re-apply (not sure how as they have my husbands passport) or do we ask for a re-consideration or do we...

Hi Everyone, I have applied EEA2 residence card on the 27th of December 2013. And I have received my EEA family residence card for 5 years on the 3rd of March. When I applied my visa, my husband was self-sufficient and was still searching for a job. In this case the conditions were that we both hav...

Hi, I currently have an EEA family member permit to work and live in the UK until 2017. I have re-entered the UK many times without any problem, but yesterday I returned from a trip to New Zealand with my wife (of whom I am the EEA family member) - I went to the EU passport holders desk with my wif...

I think the best option would be to postpone the Italian Oath cerimony until you have the documentation back from UKVI. The Italian embassy will certainly understand and it shouldn't affect his citizenship process, since all prerequisites were already fulfilled. I know it's a bummer to have to delay...

@helix I don't think it's the end for you as you can apply for naturalisation after 6 years of marriage as you have been in a valid relationship for 5 yrs you are eligible for Pr residence automatically regardless of whether you apply or don't as having the pr confirmed is for formalities sake. You...

Lawyer 2 was correct and you ended up following his advice anyway (re-applying with extra documentation). Don't worry that they haven't taken your payment yet - that means they haven't even bothered opening your envelope yet. Just sit back and relax. You're not illegal since, if the documentation pr...

This is the new link now, it was never broken in the first place. They have combined and consolidated all departments of government to one central link.

You need for both. If the EU National would be exercising Treaty rights as self-sufficient based on your earnings, both of you need CSI. If you can prove she was a jobseeker during this period (interview invitation letters, for instance), neither of you would need CSI.

You and your EEA national family member need to be living on an EU country (UK included) or Switzerland for at least 3 years before the first day of the academic year of your course.

Hi all. Our story is not a Christmas one but here we go. Our situation: I'm Russian and my husband is British. We have been living in France for over 2 years and he has been self-employed for over a year and I have French Residence Card of EU/EEA family member. We were hoping to visit family in the...

Hi Boys and Girls. For months before I was able to apply for my PRC (EEA4) I have been following this forum for tips on what to do or not to do. There have been a few "horror" stories, which had me biting nails! But just after 7 weeks of applying we (Husband and I) received our passports ...

If you want your RC in your passport, you would need to make a new application. You will be allowed to travel with RC in expired passport. You may encounter some problems with airline staff. You'll just need to stand your ground. I've been on this situation for almost 5 years (RC in an expired pass...

If on this gap your wife was looking for work, she would then be exercising Treaty Rights as a jobseeker. Is that the case?

Thanks for the response Jambo. She was working for 3 years, then went to uni to get her degree for 3 years and worked part time, and then has been working the past 4 years. We will be appealing, but we only sent the most recent P60's and bank statement along with her letter saying she had graduated...

New forms are on the UKBA web site now: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucitizens/documents-family/applying/ The new form is a joke.
