as Greenie mention i applied for 11/12 it started this september.John wrote:dasjoker, when does/did your course start? This autumn? Autumn 2012?
Yes, John i read all but currently my wife doesn't work and i am working around 25 hour and full-time student but it doesn't say anything about my wife status if she have to work or not, she just graduated.John wrote:Greenie has supplied you with a couple of helpful links. Have you had a read through those?
An underlying problem? She does need to be exercising Treaty Rights in the UK, otherwise you have no right to exercise Treaty Rights.i read all but currently my wife doesn't work and i am working around 25 hour and full-time student but it doesn't say anything about my wife status if she have to work or not, she just graduated.
the OP applied to the SFE, not a bank.pinkpanter wrote:When i applied for student loan from Barclay and Co-operative bank in 2010, they refused my application on the ground that I dont have indefinate leave to remain on my passport. I sent them a letter and phone calls that as a member of an EEA member (and RC status), I should have same rights as EEA national. But, they refused to accept any of my explanation.
These Banks are just follwing the rules and requirement given by their authority. They don't know the EEA law etc.

today i talked with an adviser from Student Loan company and they told me i am not able to get student loan because my visa issued on 14th september it should be issued before academic year start which was 1st of september. And called again they told me my visa should issued before first day of my university started and now i am writing my complain to student loan company with my all call record. nobody know exactly what is going on
Greenie is 100% correct and Right! challenge their decision.......e.g. marriage certificate should confirm that you were an EEA family member before 1st Sept, 2011.Greenie wrote:Did you speak to the SLC or SFE?dasjoker wrote:hi guys,Greenie wrote:the OP applied to the SFE, not a bank.pinkpanter wrote:When i applied for student loan from Barclay and Co-operative bank in 2010, they refused my application on the ground that I dont have indefinate leave to remain on my passport.

As already advised you need to speak to your university's advice service so they can advocate on your behalf. The SFE have misunderstood the fact that your residence card is not a visa, and you right to live in the UK doesn't 'start' from when it was issued - it is confirmation of your right to live in the UK with your wife whilst she is evercising her treaty rights and therefore as long as you were the family member of an EU national exercising treaty rights on 1 September, you should qualify for a fee loan providing you meet the other requirements in the relevent category.
As far as I know if you are EEA family member that you should apply to Student Finance England by using hard copy application and enclose original or certified by solicitor copy of your passport+ RC+ your EEA national passport + marriage certificate...they have special team who dealing with EEA Family members application... (I Know from my personal experience)....that all what you need..... EU CUSTOMER SERVICES TEAM phone:0141 243 3570horizon1985 wrote:Hi Guys,
I am holding RC as a family member of an EU national. I have applied in University in a course starting in September 2013. Before I was in UK on student visa then went into Appeal and then marriage application. Finally granted RC last year. University consider me as a Home student fee payer under the Special provision of UKCISA website. Which stated as "You do not have to meet 3 years residence requirement if your course starting on or after September 2011 and your EU spouse is self sufficient in UK. I rang Student Finance England yesterday to ask for Student loan. But they told me that I am not eligible to have student loan because I don't have a permanent residence or Indefinite leave to remain in UK. Furthermore he said that there are different policies to be consider as home fees payer and to get Student loan. Anyone has any advice or experience ? Please kindly share with me. I will appreciate that.
