Thanks for this sheraz7. yes i know that UK and EU regs are different, the reason why i had brought it up was i was seeing if there was a way at all to argue that NHS is our CSI as we originally entered the UK under Tier 4 visas but now remain under EEA1 and EEA2 permits. Is this not possible? We are not considered EU national students, we registered as Americans nut are using the student basis for exercising treat rights.sheraz7 wrote:First of all you should not mix up the tier 4 into EU route because it is completely different and regulates under UK immigration rule. But as far as EU national students are concerned they need to covered by CSI and from June 2015 the whole family must have CSI plan. However, if the EU national student had received its EEA1 certificate on student basis before june 2011then now under transitional plan basis they won't be refused from eea3 only because of CSI otherwise they will be refused. If the EU national didn't hold CSI in previous years then he/she can use the other mode of exercising treaty rights like working/self employment.
That clarifies it, thanks! but also bad news. am i right in understanding that since we are both students now and at this moment do not have CSI then no matter what we will not be eligible to apply in at least 5 years time? There is no other basis he could be exercising his treaty right that does not require CSI unless his (tax-free) PhD stipend qualifies him as a worker?sheraz7 wrote:NHS cannot substitute CSI which is a mandatory requirement for EU national self sufficients and students along with their whole family.
The reason you were granted EEA1 & EEA2 when your CSI policy was in its first month because for EEA1 & EEA2 applications the treaty rights should be at least active on the day of application and afterwards during its processing. But for eea3 application the treaty rights must cover the whole previous 5 years.
This may merit a new thread.ally007 wrote:Can anyone please shed a light on this for me please....
