This gives me some relief, as I kept calling the UK's procedures "illegal" in many of my postings.The report cited above wrote:15) Several letters of complaint and petitions addressed to EU Institutions highlight that some Member States are reluctant to fully recognise their rights to third countries family members; by way of example, UK, Lithuanian and Polish legislation preclude a non-EU family member from entering without a visa. Legal and administrative obstacles affecting third-country family members are extremely problematic; UK legislation precludes a non-EU family member who has a residence card issued by another country from entering the country without a visa, and UK administrative practices are such that lengthy delays and extensive documentation in the processing of applications for residence cards for family members who are third-country nationals also constitute significant obstacles to the exercise of free movement rights; in Estonia, third-country nationals face problems when attempting to enter the country with a residence card issued by another Member State, and third-country family members applying for visas have been also asked to pay the visa fee; in Italy, a third-country national citizen who applies for family reunification will be required to show the lawfulness of the origin of his/her economic resources, the amount of which may not be lower than the yearly social allowance.
How in the world did you get her birth certificate so quickly? In London it takes WEEKS to just get that. I hope her passport interview went well! :-)Richard66 wrote:Yes, Ciaramc, the child is a British citizen. She received her passport even before being two weeks old, which must be a record. It could have been even faster, had I applied for a next-day appointment on the first working day after the birth.
