If your non-EEA children are under 21 they are family members. If over 21 they have to be dependent. This an extra hassle, so better to move before then.
Plan for how your spouse & children are going to obtain citizenship somewhere in the EEA. Some people living overseas have missed this change in the law http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/briti ... ishfather/
I think I need to go in and discuss the timing with someone- would ukba in Croydon be able to help, anyone know where I could make an appointment to discuss the delayed arrival of dependents under singh rule ? (school break in June/July would be best to apply for the EEA2 for them).Rolfus wrote:I think you should be careful about this. SS rights exist only to remove impediments from free movement. The longer between when you move and when your family moves the harder it is to show that they need to move or your movement will be impeded.
But it doesn't have to be the same day! Recent judicial comment has said that it would be normal for a worker to move at the time he changes job, and the family to move at the start of the academic year, for example.
But I wouldn't leave it longer than that.
One option might be for your family to be formally resident in both the UK and Holland for a period. Apply for the EEA2 and ask them to return the passport immediately. I think other strands discuss how well that works in practice.
Yes, now thats a great idea...Rolfus wrote:If you want your family to move in June/July, you could apply for EEA Family Permits for them now. That will take perhaps a month, and the permits are valid for six months so you will be comfortably covered.And it would leave some margin if there is any problem with the permits.
