Now, how would the HO know about someone if he never contacted them before? How would they know if your wife has been working here for 5 years or just watched TV all day?DO I JUST RING HO AND ASK CAN YOU TELL ME IF MY WIFE IS A PR OR NOT? DO THEY GIVE HER A ID NUMBER ETC?
Not quite, see Chapter 5, 5.1 and Chapter 6, 6.1 of the ECIS.nonspecifics wrote:New forms came out on June 2011 and they insist applications are on the latest forms too.
So the wife's clock likely started when she entered the UK, not when she started working. See http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2011/05 ... nce-begin/Jambo wrote:as your wife started working in January 2007. You can apply in January 2012.
She does not need to prove residence in this period. She needs to simply state the date she entered the UK. UKBA can confirm this from their internal records of entry if they so desire.Jambo wrote:Agree.
Practically speaking, as there is only a month difference, would probably easier to prove using payslips from January but if she can prove residence in December 2006, then she can apply in December 2011.
What internal records of entry are held on EEA nationals and their family members?Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:She does not need to prove residence in this period.

UKBA knows that she can do anything she wants in the first 90 days.
And then, very nicely, she started working a month after she arrived.
There is no need for the EEA or non-EEA to have minute-by-minute proof of their residence (or presence) in the UK.
Do you know what the "scan" is doing? Perhaps checking the machine readable zone and opening the chip if there is one.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:I am not totally sure. They scan everyone's passport (UK, EU, others) when they enter, and I think it would be naive to assume the information is just thrown away.
Definitely those checks. And I remember seeing a display at Stanstead where you could see two identical photos from the UK chip passport, so I suspect they are displaying the passports chip photo next to the passports normal photo. So if the paper photo was altered the IO could see that it was different...PaperPusher wrote:Do you know what the "scan" is doing?

I kind of doubt this last claim, but in any case...4.3 Landing cards for non-EEA family members
Family members do not normally need to produce landing cards. However, this does not apply when a person‟s claim to be a family member is assessed and accepted for the first time at port and admitted on a Code 1A. This is because we do not otherwise have a record of the person.
