You all forget that OP's wife still holds valid UK spouse visa.

Secret.simon's concern was that it had become invalid.

Hello. I would like to ask for opinions on the no-fee "conversion" of existing ILR status to EU Settled status. Do you think it is worth doing? The only difference I have noticed is status lapsing time due to continuous absence is 5 instead of 2 years. Moreover, the 5 year clock can be re...

It's in Hansard, which is available for free on-line. That's where I found Shirley Williams' comments.

As an aside, it can be argued that by acquiring EU citizenship, your spouse's leave to remain as the spouse of a British citizen has been invalidated (EEA citizens cannot be subject to Leave to Remain under the Immigration Act 1971) and therefore s/he may no longer be eligible to apply for ILR usin...

There appears to be a potentially troublesome requirement for a family permit under the immigration rules: FP6. The applicant meets the eligibility requirements for an entry clearance to be granted under this Appendix where the entry clearance officer is satisfied that at the date of application: (a...

The April changes contain one significant change. Firstly, the term 'EU citizen' has been replaced by 'EEA citizen'. Apart from the expected addition of non-EU EEA nationals, there has been one significant changes. It now only includes British citizens deemed to be covered by the Lounes judgement, a...

She can definitely apply for a pre-settled status in her own right, providing she is a qualified person.

She doesn't need to be a qualified person - at least, not until Article 50 is revoked, and no-one knows what happens then. (Probably not civil war.)

On the other hand, When assessing failure to comply with immigration requirements, it will normally be appropriate to disregard failure relating to a child when assessing their good character, if it is accepted this was outside of their control. For example, where a parent applied for the child to c...

However, when I saw the guidance note and realized that Irish citizen's children can inherit their parent's status so I thought that perhaps the same would apply to children of dual national parents. It would be better if my children could inherit our status because instead of pre-settled status th...

But An application for registration of an adult or young person as a British citizen under section 1(3), (3A) or (4), 3(1), (2) or (5), 4(2) or (5), 4A, 4C, 4D, 4F, 4G, 4H, 4I, 5, 10(1) or (2) or 13(1) or (3) must not be granted unless the Secretary of State is satisfied that the adult or young pers...

One has to start asking what it means to be a British citizen. Does it only count if one is a caucasian British? If this child was a Caucasian British , would he have been left to die at a Syrian Refugee camp? As far as I am aware, the child was Caucasian. Are you suggesting it was half 'Mongolian'...

On the other hand, if the child is taken abroad by the parents, s/he will need to apply for a visa to return and would be an overstayer if the child stays longer than the term that is granted in that visa. However, as the registration under Section 1(3) is an entitlement, the child can still be reg...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/mar/26/warning-of-legal-limbo-for-3m-eu-citizens-living-in-uk-after-brexit Has the above article in today's Guardian put a stop to all what we believe that people are covered with Settled Status (ILR)? It touched on statutory instrument been used to grant t...

Your economic situation or residence history is probably such that the logic of the Surinder Singh judgement should apply to you, i.e. you should not lose rights by having become Finnish.

Thank you for your reply 💐 So does this apply: he can get ILR through EU Settlement scheme without spending 5 years Yes - Rule EU11(7) . and then after 1 year of having ILR he will be able to apply for British citizenship? Once you have become British and he has ILR, you can apply to register him a...

If someone have British citizenship then it should not apply for Settled Status.

Unless they're not sure they can prove that they have British nationality.

I mean the procedure would same like normal tourist visa where ticket hotel etc needs to be book in advance or they can issue the visa and then the trip can be planned up? In principle the latter, but there may be a problem with proving that the non-EU spouse will be travelling with the British spo...

I am so worried right now. I am non-EEA. I had my Residence Card of EEA family member in 2014 and it will expire in April 2019. I wanted to apply for Settlement Status but unfortunately only now I realise that I never had BRP. As far as I remember, I have not been asked by HO to get it done ever si...

The case of Ms Begum seems extraordinary. Ms Begun is a personification of evil, every parents worst nightmare, but the action of Mr Javid cannot be justified. As distasteful as her conduct was, she does not deserve to be made exile and stateless, she is a British, she was born here, citizen under ...

1) You could apply right now for a residence, card, and you would get a paper Certificate of Application certifying your right to work (which might or might not convince a landlord that it also means right to rent) within a week. Then you would get a Residence Card within a few weeks (sometimes it'...

2. My wife was off from work for a year from march 2017 till April 2018 can i still go for PR? SHE IS SELF EMPLOYED FROM APRIL 2018 and still working. Unless the two of you had Comprehensive Sickness Insurance (CSI) for that period, you have not qualified PR. However, on 30 March you will be able t...

As the proven spouse of an EU national exercising treaty rights, a border officer can't deny you entry. However, the tricky bit might be the airline, as witnessed on these forums, different airlines go by different rules, and there have been cases of people been denied boarding even if entitled to ...

You cannot aggregate visas granted under other parts of the UK Immigration Rules to build up to Settled Status. As I read Schedule 6 Regulation 8 of the EEA Regulations, the OP's status as an EEA national can be backdated indefinitely for the purposes of the EEA Regulations to cover periods of lawf...

I would be grateful for any tips or help,my mind is feeling slightly restless again ever since I printed this 85 page bloody form :) Read the form carefully. There are many sections that you do not need to complete. If you have been successfully self-employed then your wife's non-criminal activitie...

I called UKVI this morning they told me that it is possible to switch to UK visa as long as we meet the other requirements and that the turnaround times were 8 weeks. One of the requirements is that your wife be in the UK lawfully or that it would be unreasonable or infeasible for your British chil...
