If not a family visitor or the visit application was made on/after 25 June 2013 , then there is only limited rights of appeal. If you can read my previous posts, it is a family visit. Correct that it was made after June. Basically we should reapply but the issue is that we still need to add documen...

Is it you parent's first proposed visit.

As you can read above, this is not the first visit. It is the second. The first one was made in 2010.

Full right of appeal seems not possible. It is only on human rights ground.

Thanks for your help. We even included a marriage certificate and papers to show I live and work here. This is the decision letter in almost its entirety. First you have to find out if there is, indeed, a full right of appeal. If there was nothing in your application to indicate your wife was the pa...

You showing more money as their sponsor is not the issue, and furthermore, I suspect that the UKBA fear an extended family application under EU rules once they arrive in the UK. They need to show their financial independence and proof of strong social and economic ties to China. Owning an apartment...

Background: mother and father in law wanted to visit us for the beginning of October because we are having a child. Reasons are several: my wife EEA2 permit has expired in May. The permanent residency application is being processed. She still has the right to live in the UK so they are making a fuss...

I’d like to know if with a permanent residency card (EEA4, not an ILR) a non-EEA national married to an EEA national can travel on her/his own in the Shenghen area countries without having to have an EEA partner “waiting”. Basically I know that with an ILR this is not possible and would require a Vi...

Expiry . Hi Vinny, thanks but I'm still a bit confused. Let's say they want to stay six months and the VAF1B visa is for six months. If they enter later than the 1st day of validity of the visa, will they have to leave at the date of expiry written or the visa or can they stay until the 6 months ha...

My question is if the time of entry and exit is strictly depending on the dates written on the visa. If my wife's parents enter the UK after the initial date of validity of the 6 months visa, will they have to leave at the end of the visa expiry date or can they stay 6 months according to the stamp ...

I'm not sure whether there is truth to this 'high risk country list' theory or not but even if there is, some of you guys are being rather impatient. A lot of you have only applied in June and are saying that your application is taking long. Stop basing your expectations on some of these recent app...

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the Permanent Residence or Residence card is considered a form of ID; every time I've asked, they've told me to bring my passport or National EAA ID; so in your case, I'd take your National ID as well; if you sent the passport, you should have a National ID and ...

My BC ceremony is due in the next few days. Will a Residence Documentation/Registration Certificate for a National (me) of an EEA State be considered as a form of ID? My passport is with the HO (my wife applied for a PR Card) and will take time to be returned. The Registration Certificate I want to ...

Eligibility criteria: EEA 5 +1 yrs (Didn't apply for PR card) Method of application: NCS 'Newbury' (excellent service) Date of receipt by UKBA: 25/06/2013 Date of debit of fees: 27/06/2013 Date of receipt of acknowledgement: (on the letter 26/06/2013) Date of receipt of approval: 13/07/2013 (date on...

Citizens of countries which do not permit dual nationality, can apply for right of abode sticker. They could show this in their countries. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/right-of-abode/ If you look here: "A certificate of entitlement is proof of your right to live and wor...

Rest of the story in a day or two, but let you know there is no Biometric ID once you become British Citizen, it simply does not exist. So, basically the last Biometric Residence permit that will be issued to someone will be of ILR status. If someone has Right of Abode endorsed on their foreign pas...

Citizens of countries which do not permit dual nationality, can apply for right of abode sticker. They could show this in their countries. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/right-of-abode/ I wonder where you get all this wonderful information from? Who informed you that to get ri...

You have drawn totally wrong conclusions out of your experience. Any kind of visa including ILR places restrictions on a person. All these visas/entry clearances/ILR are all given to foreign citizens. Once you become a British Citizen, basically an immigration officer loses all control on your entr...

Is the Permanent Residency card (EEA4) valid only for 10 years? WHat happens after those 10 years? What is now required to be submitted after the first PR document has expired? The expiry date of 10 years shown on ILR - BRP and PR - CARD is its normal standard format like a national passport has it...

Are you sure the ILR card requires the renewal? See no (3) BRP front . Hi Jambo, I've just had a look. ILR with settlement has "valid until: indefinite" in the card. No expiry date. The one you posted has an expiry date as it is for a student. Can you help me understand what's wrong? You ...

Thank you so much. I must have viewed the wrong images then.

It really seems like there is one more reason for PR under EEA4 instead of ILR.

ILR is not more powerful than PR. ILR also needs to be renewed after 10 years the same way your driving licence needs to be renewed. Both ILR and PR are not for life if you don't live in the UK. You lose them after 2 years abroad. Thank you. Actually when I see the documents the PR has a "10 y...

PR under the EEA rules only exists since 2006, so there is for now no clear process in place for the renewal after 10 years. Actually PR under the EEA rules does not need renewal, only the PRC which confirms it needs to be renewed. However, as you can only lose it by being physically away from the ...

I’m Italian and I’m in the UK on the basis that I work here. I’ve applied for British Citizenship just a few days ago. My wife is Chinese national and has been here since October 2007. Her EEA2 expired in May 2013. If I didn’t plan to apply for Naturalisation, it would be time for her to apply for P...
