Hi. Sorry for my late reply, didnt noticed your message.frustratedbrit wrote:Hi Mrs.mdeben,
Thanks for the encouragement. Can I ask, how did you get to the UK the first time, was it on a Family Permit too? And what type of residence permit did you have in Cyprus? What concerns me about our case is that we have only resided in Germany for 4.5 months when we make the application. so can we pass the new "centre of life" test?
Hi there Me and My husband want to apply for Catagory C visa to do ss route via cyprus, what other things would we need, after the british passport, non eu passport, marriage certificate in english, photographs and cover letters, and application forms?we should be able to send hotel bookings and flight plans.please help any pointers will be greatly appreciated.Mrs.mdeben wrote:Me and my husband (British Citizen) stayed in UK for 5 months (December 2013 - May 2014) after living in Cyprus for a long time, we then came back to Cyprus and stayed for a month (May2014 - June 2014) then got married and applied for EEA FAMILY PERMIT straight after the wedding. I got the EEA FP last week and now were back here in UK.
Surinder Singh is a lot more difficult now but if you can prove to them the "centre of life" of the British citizen is already transferred then everything will be ok.
Any questions you have, just ask me, I can help.
Hi Frustratedbrit,frustratedbrit wrote:I am a UK citizen who successfully used the Surinder Singh route via the Netherlands (not the easiest route!) to bring my non-EEA wife and stepson to the UK in December 2013. (And many thanks to the gurus on this website for advising me all along the way.) We lived in the Netherlands for 5 months renting a house, I worked a 3-month part-time contract, we registered with the local authorities and my wife and stepson had temporary residency stickers in their passports as part of the process of applying for 5-year residency cards (which they didn't get because we left for the UK before they were issued).
After we came over to live in the UK, I was offered a full-time permanent job in Germany, and we moved over to Germany in March 2014. Again we have registered with the local authorities, and my wife and stepson have temporary residency cards as part of the process of applying for 5-year residency cards. My stepson is attending a local German primary school, and I am paying German taxes including health insurance for me and my family.
