Thanks a lot mate.

Did you send the Originals or photocopies of all the evidence ?

Did you apply 28 days before your Residence Permit was expiring ?

Sorry to hear about your application though and thank you for the valuable input on Passport. Luckily our passports are expiring in 2014.

Hello All, I hope you all are having a nice weekend. My Current Situation: - I am married to a French Wife since 5 years. - We also had a successful COA before our weedding in the UK. - My current Residency Permit is expiring in June 10. - I successfully passed my Life in the UK Test yesterday. - Bo...

Thanks Kayalami. I will apply as a dependent on my wife's application. She then needs to have the P60s etc. as proof of employment. So do I need to have proof of employment too even if I am applying as a dependent and my wife applying for an ILR including mine? Thanks for your speedy response... Che...

Hi Everyone, Its been long since I have posted any query here. I have a question to all regarding ILR. I have been working in the UK now for 2 years under a Work Permit. I then got married and received a Residence Permit (as my wife if from France). So to apply for an ILR I know that we need to comp...

Hey Glauco, Well whenever there is a genuine case I presume they deal with it soon...very soon . So I think yours too must be a straight forward thing. I have a question for you too. So you say that we dont need your partner to travel with you ? Coz I thought that your wife needs to travel with you ...

Hi Guys, Thanks for your support. I have received my Passport today (endorsed) and with a small apology letter. I was impressed by the way they dealt this. So now I can apply for my Driving Licence and hopefully life will be a bit more smooth now. Thanks to one and all and I wish all of them get the...

Hi Pedro,
Well you are right. I can move on. Its just the fact that if you dont have your passport you cannot travel or even apply for a Driving Licence.
Its just a pain when you think you are there, but still almost there...
All the best with yours mate
You will get it...
Cheers,
Sunil

Hi John, Well I called them up last week and I was told to post the Passport immediately with a covering letter explaining the reason behind me sending the passport back. They did recieve it and when I called them up a few days later they said to me that it was under the status "Awaiting to be ...

Hi everyone, I finally got the Residence Permit today. My wife (who had applied for her Residence Permit with my Residence Document) received all the documents along with her Residence Permit(Blue leaflet with her picture). I also received a letter from Home Office mentioning that my Passport has be...

Thats Wonderful.
I have sent my application in April and I hope I get mine too in 3 months.
Mine too is a straight forward application but you never know how the Home Office works...

Hi Pedro,
Could you please send me the phone number I should call and get further details reg. my application ?

Hi All, I have seen a few threads and people are talking about the various stages in the EEC1 application approval process. I had applied for the same last Friday and the Home Office must have received them on Satruday as I sent them by Special Delivery. But I wanted to know how long do I need to wa...

Hi All , I am marrying my French Fiance this Saturday and was going to apply through EEC1 for my UK Residence Permit .

Hi , I intend to marry my French Fiance next month and I was thinking to apply through EEC1 Application. But I also heard that FLR(M) form can also be used for the same . In my personal opinion I would apply through EEC1 . Is it better to use EEC1 or FLR(M) ? (Maybe John might know the answer :) ) T...

Can anyone make a comment on the same ? http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/en/home/laws___policy/immigration_rules/part_...

Thanks again John , You are a star . I have been waiting anxiously for your reply . Well ... My wife does not have a British Residence Permit in her Passport. -So my understanding is that EEC1 Application is the Resident Document for me and a Residence Permit for her . Is that right ? - They seem to...

Hi John , Thanks a lot for your information .This Message board is absolutely stunning in service requests . Also there are 3 more questions coming out of your suggestion then . 1. Do you have any idea on the work-around times (also best time to apply - like just after marriage or a bit later) for a...
