Thanks for that information, Jambo. Our original thought of return to the UK mid-May would mean that she was working in Ireland nearly 6 months. I guess it's discouraging thinking of that as a "relatively short period" - but I guess for UKBA that will be how they look at it.Jambo wrote:I suspect he just said that to scare you (in case you were thinking of entering the UK via Ireland to avoid immigration).
With the recent changes to Surinder Singh applications and the fact that you plan to move back after a relatively short period in Ireland, it might be better to apply for EEA FP before moving back. You don't want to start a long appeal process in the UK if they reject your application claiming you have not spent enough time in Ireland.
Mid May might be OK. 6 months aught to be enough but I would recommend applying for EEA FP before moving back. At least if they refuse, you can choose either stay longer (if this is the reason for refusal) or move to the UK and apply (and appeal from there). If you move back you only have one option if refused.jestew wrote:Thanks for that information, Jambo.

If they do reject my FP application, then what? I've read that others file an appeal and then travel to the UK anyway and apply for EEA2 directly. Is that possible? Is that wise? I guess there are no general rules and every case is different.
People's opinions have been really helpful for me trying to sort all this out... Thanks again.
