I am a EEA national married for 8 years with a nigerian national.
My brother lives and works in the UK for more than 7 years and he is married to a UK national. They are willing to provide us shelter as long as we need it.
We already applied for an EEA FP six months ago and have been refused.
I would like to know wich risks we r facing if we DO NOT apply for EEA FP and we travel together to the UK with our marrige certificate and my husband's Permanent Residence Card and valid passport.
Thank you
How will he have a valid passport if it is being sent to the Nigerian Authorities? I doubt if any airline would allow him to board without a visa.vinny wrote:atike237 wrote:Hello,

Passports usually remain the property of the issuing country. (I do not know all passports, but never heard of an exception)atike237 wrote:...Both passports submited in the application were impounded and will be "returned in due time to the relevant authorities"...

atike237 wrote:If i remember well there is a field in the application wich asks if u have been refused a visa before and if yes, why?
The UK's position is that a visa national needs a visa (or residence card) to enter the UK. If a person got to a border they could argue their case, but the problem will be getting to a border (from Greece).atike237 wrote:we will be denied boarding with my husbands passport, a permanent staying permit as EEA spouse and a mariage cerificate?
But Directive 2004/38/EC, Articles 5 and 10 is clear about it... :?

atike237 wrote:Hi everybody,
I am an EEA from Greece and recently moved in the UK. My husband remained in Greece and he applied for an EEA family permit at the uk's embassy in Athens in order to come join me.
In support of his application he provided his old(canceled) pasport and his new one. We received a refusal for the EEA family permit. After official checks they received confirmation that the OLD passport was not genuine.. (it was issued, renewed and canceled by official authorities in Nigeria) and had his previous staying permit as a EEA spouse inside -not a word about the new one. Both passports submited in the application were impounded and will be "returned in due time to the relevant authorities" Does anyone knows what that means? How can we get his new pasport? and where from?
After that he can re-apply without being automaticaly refused bec of what happend now? The nigerian embassy refuses to give any written confirmation about the old pasport and he does not have a full right of appeal)
Thanks [/b]
