Second appeal determination arrived today with award of 140£ also we had been paid already 80£ for previous appeal.

At some point I'll try to find time to write both determinations here.

Jestew, If you are already married in my opinion it wouldn't be so straight forward removal. But I would really consider this optionoption as a risky one. In our refusal it was alleged that we illegally entered UK. Apart from that I think the odds are that you are more likely face refusal if you app...

In my own view you could do that, but I would strongly recommend you having proof of legal stay in UK when you apply because you may get yourself into some sort of problems and refusal. Secondly you understand that since your wife is British she will need to prove that she had exercised her treaty r...

Yes you're right, but I didn't want taking chances with possibility that we would not be admitted to UK and our appeal right was lost. Also I believed that if we ignored our already second refusal for FP that would tantamount for greater doubt about our credibility in case our application for reside...

I will try to post it when i have little spare time..

Hello its been awhile..... Apparently we won the second appeal for residency card or rather should I say that Judge after his finding that my wife already won first appeal from outside UK for family permit he needn't decide anymore because as he stated the first appeal should be sufficient to get my...

hI Guys Those who read my story before would know my long story of refusals. I haven't updated my posts since long time and many events since then occurred. Yesterday I received the outcome of outside of country appeal which was allowed. The judge entirely supported our side, standards of proof for ...

beantsingh04 this is exactly what happened to me and my wife but she had eventually received her COA after around 2 weeks and her payment has not been taken yet. I would recommend you to be patient for another week and then if you don't get it contact them, it takes about 20 minutes or more to get i...

Hi Aine I see we applied just about the same time. How's everything going on? does anyone of you have had already been charged 55£ for the application?

Adding to John's suggestion I would also say that refusal of Family Permit does not mean that she can't really get it if you continue to fight for it, but of course it may take time. Schengen Visa should be much easier to obtain once you are already in France working.

My wife's new passport is with my surname so there wasn't any problem in proving that she is wife of EEA and can work. 2 passports having same surname doesn't prove that holders are married. Imagine how many other non-EEA women living in UK may have same surname as yours in their passports? I can't...

They didn't hire my husband in KFC where he got offer to be team leader. Same thing in Hilton hotel. In both places they told him that when he will apply for his RC, he can comeback. We have jobs, so I don't want to complain about any company, just saying how it is :) any way, thx for advice. Ainee...

She had an exit stamp at port in Calais, so I think this is obviously proof that she has entered UK at that time and date, otherwise where else she could be?

Yes we are going to apply for EEA2 very soon once I get my contract.

i'm shocked that people are willing to employ her without a valid visa. is it a big company, or local shop etc? (I know that she has the right to work etc, but the "risk" of the fine etc is enough to put many off.) just bear in mind, without the code1a stamp, it might be hard to prove whe...

Hi All Just a quick reminder, both with my wife got to UK by coach, my wife didn't get code 1A stamp in her passport but was allowed to enter. Finding job was really easy for her, on the application form they usually ask whether she needed work permit which we answered no. My wife's new passport is ...

Well without your wife your visa isn't worth much, why not go back to Pakistan if you don't want to be with her anymore?

Where exactly does it say that?

EUsmile it says in the application form itself.

Yes giorgosa, they can deny FP for any reason as they please...
but of course it does not mean that your wife will be denied.

When I spoke to Solicitor last year she told me that in principle UKBA don't prevent marriages to be contracted as long as they don't expect marriage of reasons of convenience. Now the question is when UKBA suspect such a marriage. Your friend in my opinion should try to obtain new passport from his...

Since you said you are Italian, after you are married her ban would not have any bearing on your right to be joined by her in UK, however, whether she was banned or not, still Family Permit for which you will be able to apply does not always end in success, but its free application. At this point it...

Eusmile and boloney, Thank you very much for your kind response. Eusmile I thought to apply for residence card first to avoid any possible problems and then in the future I could also try to fight for my right for PR. But you know I must tell you when it comes to giving them reasons for refusals, I ...

After coming back to UK I have realized that I lost my WRS certificate which I had since 2004. I think it is possible for me to prove 5 years of residency in UK and obtain PR card, however the problem I believe will be with providing WRS, and as I read in many posts people have problems once they do...

I am not sure if I remember correctly but I think Diomond tried to marry British person in UK and was removed (I may be wrong). It is possible to get married with EEA national without being removed but this is not a guarantee. I think it depends if there is suspicion that marriage is of convenience....

Ok some update, the letter that my wife received yesterday from Tribunal turns out to be reference number for our case and what to expect next (pending appeal). I have written to Solvit about the email from Visa Manager in Paris that the lady most likely is counterfeiting original decision since the...
