Hello, Thank you very much! Even with a FP it was a palaver getting through immigration at Plymouth. The immigration officer questioned us for about 15 minutes asking for previous passports, the date we got married, the reason for my wife’s last stay in the UK. He clearly didn’t know what he was doi...

Hello! We received our parcel today and in my wife's passport we found an EEA FP good for 6 months :D . That is the first hand hopefully hardest step, but we receive this news with mixed emotion after living in a small comune in France for over a year! We have made some of the most amazing friends, ...

well my wife applied again for an EEA family permit. She applied on the 6 of august in the application we stated we would like to travel on the 1 of September. It has taken them 3 weeks to the day to process it and obviously I complained about that on the 15th day and as of yet we have had no reply ...

You don't have to declare savings - you just put n/a for that question I understand it's not applicable but if you do an online application it's a multi-choice question (yes or no) you have to answer. http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/moving-to-eea-country-with-non-eea-wife-to...

Sebstewart, it just occurred to me, did your wife apply for the EEA Family Permit before 1 January 2014 or after? Interesting! We made two applications. The first one was made on December 2013 but my wife didn’t apply with this one because we didn’t declare I had savings (but evidence I was submitt...

We arrived in France on the 2nd of May 2013 my wife’s appointment for a uk FP was on the 6th of January 2014 so that over 8 months.

U know how long they were there in Germany? Since early September 2013 They did have 5 years residence cards - this may have made a difference my wife had a 5 year residency card from France but they did not seem to take it in to consideration. it seems the German residency cards are special though...

Application done on 6 January - refusal today

Four months employment etc

Seems this is going to be happening more and more.

any details?

Hi Seb, Sorry to hear that the UKBA refused your application especially as it certainly sounds like your "centre of life" has been in France for 8 months. Would you mind me asking please how many months you have worked in France all together? I'm just wondering what the UK deems as a reas...

In my opinion, I think the most crucial point of argument is, are you a worker? If you are, I do not think UKBA can set any hurdle for you and your family member returning, you should be able to prove that your work is not that of marginal or ancillary in nature, if you met the criteria of a worker...

Yea stewart you can apply whilst your appeal is ongoing, in fact you can apply as many times as you want until your appeal is heard if you haven't received the desired result. Thanks for the reply that’s good to know! I sent a copy of the refusal to solve it. Now does anyone have any tips or links ...

I realy would like to appeal but i know appealing can take a long time and it really would depend on wether i can re apply for the visa whilst an appeal is beeing proccesed?

thanks
seb

Hello, this is my wife's refusal received today - The decision - Regulation 9 of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006, as amended by the Immigration (EEA) (Amendment) (No.2) Regulations 2013, states: 9. (1) If the conditions in paragraph (2) are satisfied, these Regulations appl...

Hello, My wife has been refused the visa and I am bit confused if she has been refused because of our accommodation, my work or both (“Due to these reasons, I am not satisfied that your British national spouse has transferred his centre of life to another EEA Member State.”) My contract has a minimu...

Hello, I am a little bit confuse because in the new online application you have to fill all the fields, for example they ask me for my EEA National Registration Certificate number, and I don't hold this , is it obligatory to have one now? They ask details about me, the EEA national, and if my wife h...

Hello, Thanks for your reply Directive! Probably more stupid questions but I hate filling in paperwork! :? I have been trying to fill out an online application on the new application website. Really frustrating lots of fields that they make you fill in before you can submit it. Like: - What is the E...

Sounds like it is well sorted. Should be a straight forward application. Note that you do not need to answer any questions on the form about your wife's assets or work, either past or future. You also do not need to answer any questions about your assets or future work. You probably should answer t...

So we got the visa in the end without providing any of the extra information they wanted. My wife and I ended up in France, although, the airline didn’t want to let her board the plane without a return ticket, long and boring story but with a lot of arguing we got on the flight. We have now been in ...

Thanks for the document it was very helpful and put my mind to rest. I would say the work is poorly paid but genuine and effective employment

I’m still confused with this as i have been Reading who is deemed a worker under EU law http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2011/12/23/who-is-a-worker/ it mentions contract lengths and how many hours a week but nothing on income. And the UKBA sight just mentions this "The ECJ case of SURINDER SINGH...
