Should be fine.jjLDN wrote:Hi there,
I've found some great information on this forum, thank you to all the helpful members.
What I'd love some advice on:
I'm a NZ passport holder, currently in the UK on a Tier 5 (youth mobility) visa that expires 18 August 2016. By the end of May I'll be married to my fiance, who holds an EU passport (Italian). I'll then (promptly) apply for an EEA residency permit as the spouse of an EU member.
From what I've read, this will take 6-7 months, which means roughly 3 months in, my Tier 5 visa will expire. Is it legal for me to stay in the UK, (married to an EU passport holder) while waiting for my residency permit?
My only other option would seem to be: Ask for the passport back during the application, leave the UK (perhaps to France) and return with my wife and appropriate documents, asking for the code 1a stamp for a further six months?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you!
Don't get mixed up between PR (& PR card) & RC.jjLDN wrote:Thank you for your reply noajthan!
My fiance hasn't done any official paperwork surrounding her permanent residency, but is working full time with a NIN, bank account, health insurance etc etc
Does she need to take any additional steps before I submit my application for my PR card?
Also, I tend to travel a lot for work. If I need to go to the USA for example, when coming back into the UK, am I going to run into problems not travelling with her?
If I am to travel, would it be best to first take a short trip with her, and show all supporting documents to an officer to get the code 1a stamp (I believe this is the right stamp/term?)
After that, would I be more free to move?
Thank you!
Thank you!If you travel before you receive your RC suggest you apply for a FP from each country you go to to ensure you can re-enter UK.
