You may be able to request your documents be returned to you.

Will it not cause some problem with my Naturalization application if I request my passport?

If I go to Citizen Advice would it help? or contacting the MP perhaps? Is there any way I can get a letter from Home Office that I can work? Sorry for asking too many questions, I just didn't see this coming

The Immigration Act 1971 would not apply to you as the family member of an EEA citizen. You could have acquired PR automatically under the EEA Regulations. But it is always a good idea to have proof of that, hence the PR Card. When did you apply for naturalisation? And do you have a PR card? I didn...

This is self-contradictory, there is no part of the message indicating that OP was refused for being overstayer,refusal for not having a valid ID is not the same as overstaying, being legally resident is not part of the requirement that needs fulfilling. Your opinion was clearly wrong and dangerous...

What are you talking about? I understand that it is your opinion, but on this ocassion your opinion is clearly wrong. who told you OP was refused for being an overstayer? Overstaying as far as EEA applications are concerned is an obsolete word. This is what I am talking about.... I came to London u...

In my opinion you were refused as you don't have a valid visa. As you have mentioned you overstayed since 2003. This was the same reason that is why your embassy refused to renew your passport. I would suggest you do it right, you need go back to your country, marry your partner and apply for FP. W...

^ The residence card is still valid as long as it hasn't passed its expiry date. I've read accounts of people travelling in the EU all the time with current visas in expired passports, although you might get the odd border guard or airline staff who hasn't been trained properly who might give you h...

From 6th April, all residence cards will be issued as biometric cards . You will have to pay an extra £20 at the post office for them to check your biometric information, on top of the residence card application fee of £65. I think this is better as it will prevent the pain of having to explain the...

Did you provide bank statements? This is to show that you have sufficient funds to support your wife and her children in UK. And it would also be less problem if you have some possible accommodation once you are in UK. In my opinion, you should travel to UK, find some job and prepare everything for ...

I am in similar situation and any information would be appreciated. I would be applying in couple of months and I start to prepare my papers little by little. l am truly grateful about this site as I learn a lot from those sharing their experiences

I was only out of UK more or less 50 days as of present counting.
Thank you once again for this information, its really a big help

If she's traveling on her own she needs a visa to enter UK. As you know UK is not part of Schengen Area.
I am a family of EEA national and every time we travel to EU countries I always been asked by the airline staff if I am traveling with my husband.

I can't thank you enough for this helpful information. I have been waiting for someone to answer this query of mine as I was feeling confused reading this in some site that I can only use this route "if the non-EEA family member already have permanent residence when the EEA national becomes a B...

Hi, As I am preparing to apply next year I would like to ask if I can skip EEA4 as some people did in this forum. January 2010- got married Sept 2010- arrived in UK January 2011- RC received *My husband has been naturalized last October 2013 but still keep his EEA citizenship. Can I apply straight t...

Hi, I just want to ask if I can do the same in my case. I will be 5 years in UK next year and my husband has been naturalized last October 2013 and still keep his EEA citizenship. Can I apply straight to British citizenship? Your opinions and advises will be appreciated. Thanks.

I would recommend for you to get a visa as you are traveling on your own. I traveled to Poland several times with my husband yet I have to present my marriage certificate every time. But it could depend which airport you are arriving, I think Krakow or Warsaw airports are more familiar with this sit...

Thank you for all the advises and for sharing your knowledge about this situation. I appreciated it so much

The UK will not have a problem with your documentation. You may (i.e. this might happen) have a problem with an airline clerk afraid of allowing an undocumented passenger to board. Just prepare yourself for this and don't take no for an answer. Yes, that is main concern about my RC document, I may ...

Thank you very much . I will be travelling to Asia and afraid that they won't let me go back when i don't have my RC vignette on my new passport.
