Thanks Chaoclive Where could i find the below Regulations on government website? "A person who held dual British/EEA citizenship, and who has renounced their British citizenship, will be considered an EEA national for the purposed of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 (a...

I have a question. What is the sense for a US citizen to apply for a family permit? A US citizen has the right to enter the UK anyway via his passport. You're right, they can enter the UK without having a visa, but they don't have an absolute right to enter, i.e. if they've had immigration issues w...

Hi Chaoclive i have held off sending everything to my husband as im not sure if they would want my most recent payslip? I prob sound silly...i have got all my payslips for last 2 years until this month plus letter confirming my employment which also confirms date i started and my hours of 16 and st...

Hey We have applied for my Wifes renunciation of British citizenship on 23 July. How many days after do they take out the money from the account? Thanks Depends. Mine took about 2 weeks before I had heard that they had 'not been able to use my card'. they said that there was a problem with the card...

Hi Chaoclive good to hear from you . Oh i hope your right . Every day when the postman comes i hope its my renunciation thats back. Don't worry. It's in process :) Some will take longer (due to 'lack of payment details' etc) but it will come through in the end! Might as well get everything else rea...

Update , still waiting :( seems thats all i have been doing for the best part of a year. Renunciation application received 5th may , payment declined then taken mid june, As i enclosed a pre paid envelope for the return of my Irish passport they took that as lets send this back now. So end of June ...

under the Dublin 2 agreement, they may be aware that you moved from UK, and you could find yourself being returned back to the UK. I m little skeptical about your comments above because it seems UK is not signatory to this Dublin II or Dublin III agreement.It is between European Union..... .....can...

Hey I figured out today that they have changed the EEA FM form to 91 pages from 137 pages. I want to confirm that if they had changed any laws or rules for the EEA FM( Residence card) has i will be applying in in August or they are still the same Thanks The rules will still be the same as far as I ...

For renunciation we need to show that my wife as other nationality(Irish) then British. So do u think that submitting my wifes parents Irish birth certificate should prove that she has Irish Nationality. Thanks That's one thing. Of course, you should also add a normal copy of her passport at the ve...

Ya i read your post and it helped a lot Chaoclive. Thanks Did u sent the certified copy of your passport? I had an extra certified copy of my Irish passport from when I applied for a scholarship in China so I sent it along with the renunciation as well. I'm not sure that it has to be certified but ...

We have the original with us. And we need for it for My EEA FM. So we are thinking that if we give my wife's Parents birth certificate original and copy of her Irish Passport and a print out from this website http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving_country/irish_citizenship/irish_citizenship_th...

Dear all Friend of mine who is naturalised Irish in very difficult position as his wife's visa to enter into state was refused. My friend was resided in state as a holder of eufam4 card as he was married to eu citizen.naturalisation followed as he filled all the relevant requirements. Reason given ...

Northern Ireland is not an option for us, neither is the UK in general. We moved to the US from England in early 2013 but going back to England as an EU citizen bringing in a non-EU spouse is an arduous task, plus it seems that most non-EU citizens in the UK are having to keep looking over their sh...

I am an Irish citizen looking to move to Ireland from the US, with my US wife. I understand that as a US citizen, she is a non-visa required national, and can enter Ireland straightaway when we land. My question relates to the new financial requirements of €40k over a three-year period. Is there fl...

These people are abusing our ludicrous citizenship laws so they can bypass our European partners immigration laws. Any Irish person that welcomes this is just as much a scummer as those abusing our passports. An American born in America will never be Irish. That they have an Irish passport is paten...

You got a point, but that point works against you. Correct, you can get EEA FP but only if you intend to move to UK----------- WHERE IN ANY OF THE LEGISLATION DOES IT STATE THIS? PROVIDE A QUOTE PLEASE. I KNOW OF PEOPLE USING AN EEA FP FOR A SHORT TRIP TO THE UK FOR A HOLIDAY. PLUS, THE VISIT VISA ...

An EEA family permit is a document for nationals that live outside the European Economic Area (EEA) but have a family member living inside the EEA who is not UK citizen. The non-EEA national will need to be journeying with the EEA national or joining them in the UK. Seems here that is all a great a...

Thanks again for your replies. el patron: Even if the RC is "invalidated" due to being out of the UK for 2 and half years she would have the right to appeal from the country? chaoclive: In that case, would I need to be working for a certain amount of time or making a certain level of inco...

Hi, Thank you for all of your comments and information. I guess I would have two last questions: 1) The university where I will be studying at starts classes on September 27. I came to the UK on June 30th to meet with professors, sort out accommodation, re-open a bank account, telephone account, et...

Hi Obie, Thank you for your reply. If she enters as a non-visa national, given her US citizenship, they would ask her what is the purpose of her visit. If she says that she is moving to the UK with me then she would get in trouble. So, I am curious as to how her non-visa national status could help ...

Thanks for that. Electoral Register is a good way out. However, it states the following "You must be a British, Irish, Commonwealth or European Union citizen, and you must give your nationality on the form". I can apply, can my dependent family members do the same? Phrased differently, ar...

Well I am perfectly content with you not agreeing with me. That is what makes an healthy debate. My view is that, it is at least arguable , that the article in question will be nugatory , if national authority refuses tje right of an Irish citizen to recognise herself only as Irish. In the case of ...

Guys, what banks open accounts to EEA family members with COAs and those in the process of applying for RC? We seem to hit the dead ground with oxymoronic morons within several banks (HSBC, Halifax) that know nothing and are not willing to listen to your arguments. Thanks We were able to open a bas...

I think you do not need to be overdoing this. You do not need to be hyper-legal-active and be emailing all the embassies. Every embassy wesbsite now states that article 10 card holders do not need a visa. You may just take a printout from the relevant embassy websites, and be on your way. Airlines ...

Thanks Chaoclive But i will need my wife Irish passport for my EEA FM application. What else can we show to prove evidence of another citizenship? Will photo copy of her passport be ok? My wife has her parents Irish birth certificate, will that be ok? Thanks I sent a copy of my passport, my origina...
