Not if they hold a biometric passport.fysicus wrote:As far as I know, Venezuelan nationals always need a visa for the UK
Regards the application from the US please have a look into this thread.LAROCCAMOM wrote:Will he be able to apply from with the US?
You got an answer to this right here.jrge wrote:If my husband obtains his biometric passport (he has an appointment 4/20), he then does not need to apply for a VAF5?
That's not quite right (see Article 5(4) of Directive 2004/38/EC for details). The type of passport is also irrelevant. As long as the family member shows proof of identity and relationship to the EEA national that person must be admitted to enter the country. Immigration officers have clear instructions to follow that rule. In practice, however, there may be problems also regards employment. But this has been discussed here multiple times, e.g. see the link just above.jrge wrote:If your husband intends to seek, apply and maybe accept any job upon arrival to the UK, he needs to obtain VFA5 Family Permit. By obtaining the biometric passport, it will only enable him to enter in the UK as a visitor.
Have you actually followed the link given above and read the discussion there? A link to a private company is not very useful.jrge wrote:You had also mentioned that your husband has an open asylum case in the US. If he has received some sort of legal document (visa extension, TPS, work permit) from ICE to remain legally in the country, he can apply for his VFA5 within the US, otherwise he will have to obtain it in another country
Correct: 11(4).86ti wrote:A non-visa national should be able to present him/herself to an immigration officer as an EEA family member (hold the necessary proof and be prepared to argue).
