So you are Irish and have been in the UK for 20 years. Over exactly what periods have you been working between 2000 and 2008?fouzi wrote:i have been in the uk for 20 years, we got married me and my wife in december 2005 and came to the uk /entered in january 2006, i have been made redundant in 2008, to date (after nearly 20 years of working in the uk)
In fact the UK accepts that, as regards Irish Citizens living in the UK, that they have PR status as soon as they start living here, without any need to live here for five years.If you are an Irish national and you were living and working in the UK for at least 5 years (and you say 20, so that seems to be the case), then in all likelihood you have already acquired a right of permanent residence (PR) yourself.
Does that mean an Irish citizen can apply immediately on arrival in the UK for confirmation of their EU-law Permanent Residence?John wrote:In fact the UK accepts that, as regards Irish Citizens living in the UK, that they have PR status as soon as they start living here, without any need to live here for five years.

AND WITH ALL THE ABOVE THE REFUSAL LETTER SAID BECAUSE I WAS MARRIED IN DECEMBER 2005, MY WIFE ENTERED /CAME TO UK JANUARY 2006, I WAS MADE REDUNDANT 2008 SO I DID NOT EXERCICE MY TREATY RIGHTS FOR FULL 5 YEARS( I DID NOT COMPLETE MY 5 YEARS TREATY RIGHTS UNDER EUROPEAN LAW AS MARRIED COUPLE SO WE ARE REFUSING ILR TO YOUR WIFE AND THEY HAVE ADDED SHE NEEDS TO START MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO LEAVE THE UK, THEY HAVE KEPT HER PASSPORT AS WELL.
HI, THANKS FOR REPLYING BACK TO ME .Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:What exactly does the UKBA issued PR letter say? Does it refer to you being a European citizen?
OBIE, THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE, FOUZI, DO YOU THINK IT IS A GOOD IDES TO DO THE APPEAL MYSELF WITHOUT A LAWYER OR SHOULD I GO FOR ONE? CHEERSObie wrote:REGULATIONS 17(1) provides for the issuing of residence card to the family members of a qualified person or someone with a Right of permanent residence.
Regulations 15 provides that if you have lived in the UK for 5 years in accordance with the regulations,.then you qualify for Permanent residence as an EEA national or a family member.
As you have not lived outside the UK for more than 2 years since your PR was issued, you are classified as a person who has been residing in the UK in accordance with the Regulations. Therefore your spouse should qualify for PR.
You wife has to simply fill in the appeals form and state that the decision breaches her rights under the community treaties and secondary law and also her right under the Human rights acts.
OK I LL GET READY FOR THE APPEAL, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE AND SUPPORT, VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. I WILL LET YOU KNOW OF THE OUTCOME. CHEERS TO ALL OF YOU ON HERE, ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS ARE VERY WELCOME. THANK YOU ALLLLLLL,,,,FOUZIObie wrote:FOUZI it all depends on how strong you fell, and how eloquently you can express these facts to a judge.They are claiming that since you secured PR before you got married then your wife cannot secure PR, except she can show you have been exercising treaty rights. I believe this is totally wrong.
Get the appeal form sent before the deadline and you can work on preparing you case, which is not required right now. You have about 4-6 weeks before you will appear in court. Don't worry about the letter that states she has to go. It is a standard letter.
Try and apply for your children's British Passports if you have not already done so, as this will give you an extra area of argument.
hi kitty, i am sorry i just want to ask few questions if i may?Kitty wrote:If you are an Irish national and you were living and working in the UK for at least 5 years (and you say 20, so that seems to be the case), then in all likelihood you have already acquired a right of permanent residence (PR) yourself.
If you have PR now, then your wife is entitled to a Residence Card on that basis. You don't need to be a owrker or self-sufficient or anything else, other than being able to show you have PR.
If you acquired PR before you were made redundant, then your wife herself probably has PR as well.
The question is proving it. Can you get together evidence of a continuous period before 2008 when you were working? P60s, wage slips, bank statements, a letter from your employer?
Edited: beaten to it by Obie! fouzi, what did the refusal letter actually say? And have you always lived in the UK or were you born in Ireland and moved here?
