Hm-m.. My job contract started from May 1, but physically I only arrived to UK 2 months later, on June 30 (university job, they did not really need me "on premises"). My job interview was in the fall of preceding year. There are no stamps in my passport, as I am French citizen. In this cas...
I would like to invite a close family friend for a short visit (about a month). This is a retired lady (70 years old) from Russia. I am EU (non-Brit) citizen, working in UK on permanent contract with good salary, home owner (the guest is a friend of my mother, who lives with me on EEA2 residence car...
Here: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/329789/NHS_Implentatation_Plan_Phase_3.PDF on page 18 they talk about recovering cost of treatment from EEA patients who are "non-resident in the UK" It also talks about changing definition of "ordinary re...
Where does it say in documents that EU citizens who work in UK (but do not have permanent residence yet) cwill still be able to use NHS for free? The way they all put it is that you only can use NHS for free if you are UK citizen or PR. About EU citizens it says they will need to show their EHIC car...
How UK immigration treats cases of acquiring a new citizenship (non EU) after one gets residence papers to live in UK? My mother, originally Russian citizen only, got EEA2 5-years visa as my dependent. It is on a separate piece of paper, not in the passport. After getting EEA2 she changed her Russia...
Have you considered moving back to Pakistan to be with them at all? There are other alternatives you know... ? Is this a "Paki, go home" response? Do you think it is useful fo the person who asks? Or do you think he is too stupid to be able to think about "other alternatives"? O...
Kind of obvious after dealing with the system that they are not objective. On the other hand, topic-starter clearly did not supply dependency documents at all - is appeal a good way in the case one did not submit required documents in original application? (I never had to appeal, so I do not feel co...
You can use FP for residence, or just for a short visit (s) You do not have to show dependency if you apply for FP for young children or spouse (or unmarried partner) of a EEA national. However, for parents or adult children you are required to prove dependency in order to get FP. In the same docume...
I only have a recent (successful) experience of bringing my elderly mother (I am EU citizen, working in UK, she has Russian passport). But all the regulations I used talked about dependent "ascendants", not just "parents". Here they mention grandparents explicitly: https://www.go...
At least until very recently (say, at least until a few months ago), they would not simply "put residence card in the passport". They were stating that if you want to put it in the passport instead of separate paper, or transfer it from expired to new passport, then you would have to re-su...
My mother has EEA2 Residence Card, not Family Permit. She already entered on FP last July. We immediately applied for EEA2 residence, and shortly after that asked for passports back. She then left UK at the end of November (for family reasons). We got EEA2 residence for her this January, on a separa...
My mother is retuning to UK in a few weeks, and it will be first time she will use EEA2 permit to enter. When she left UK a few months ago, she did not have the EEA2, we got it later on a separate piece of paper, and I subsequently sent it to her abroad. She is 69 and does not speak English. I under...
You do not need to go to New York to apply - they do not accept applications in person anyway. One has to send them application by post, and then they send you your documents back. Family Permit is free, so the only thing you pay is postage fees. It is also a priority, usual processing time is less ...
I would recommend to use a different lawyer. 1. There are no restrictions on marriage in US (unlike UK, you do not need a special marriage visa or such) 2. You CAN adjust status in USA - the only formal requirement is that at the time of entry you were not planning to do AOS ( no "preconceived&...
Visa-waiver cannot be changed to any other status once inside USA, or extended beyond 90 days (the only exception - if you marry US citizen). So yes, it is absolutely a MUST for European citizens to get H1B visa stamp in the US embassy abroad before you head for USA.
In order to be able to apply for Family Permit, they have to either
- be financially dependent on you/your husband (rely on your money to satisfy their essential needs)
or
- live with you as members of your/your husband's household immediately before you moved to UK (if this was a recent move)
EU FP applications are priority (should be treated quicker then non-settlement applications). When we applied to NYC consulate about 9-10 months ago, I tracked average processing time, and it was several days. We got FP back in less hen 2 weeks from applying (I think they got our docs on Monday and ...
Just on that last point, I can't think of any reason why the FLR(M) would be made available to someone in my situation. I certainly don't deny that I made a bone-headed mistake, but it would have been so easy for anyone at any point in the process to steer me away from paying 953 pounds unnecessari...
1. Yes, EEA2 is not required, it just makes your life easier 2-3. If you report your passport as lost/stolen to US embassy, UKBA will know about it, and will refuse your application (cases like this were discussed here before). Instead you could ask for return of your and your wife passports immedia...
