I have noticed a lot of UK family permit refusals recently after the new 'centre of life' rule has come out in Jan. I am interested in knowing the exact reasons and I'm sure it would also help others who are planning to apply via the Surrinder Singh route.
It would be great if you could post your refusals here and hopefully others can also help re-apply or appeal. (Hope this is okay with admins)
But you can. You have no right to do so, but you can.357mag wrote:Thats good logic rosebead and maybe something a person could use in an appeal, you simply cant stay in a country over 90 days unless you are exercising treaty rights. Well ok you will get a 6 months temporary and if over that then you must be into the position of resident and worker.
any details?AngieD wrote:Just learnt of another Family Permit refusal - done in Dublin
Application done on 6 January - refusal today
Four months employment etc
Seems this is going to be happening more and more.

a) because the decision is made in the UK. Not by the diplomatic post.
b) because Ireland is more common for a quick SS round.
If possible, I would wait for 2 months so there stay is 6 months and reapply. Might be quicker than going via an appeal process.
my wife had a 5 year residency card from France but they did not seem to take it in to consideration. it seems the German residency cards are special though.AngieD wrote:jinkazama_11 wrote:U know how long they were there in Germany?
Since early September 2013
They did have 5 years residence cards - this may have made a difference

Good info and it´s nice to hear some people have been successful! For me the successful applications are much more interesting than the refusals all though I would like to appeal, if it is quicker I would be very happy to make a successful application.
Thanks

We arrived in France on the 2nd of May 2013 my wife’s appointment for a uk FP was on the 6th of January 2014 so that over 8 months.jinkazama_11 wrote: How long you were in France before you applied for family permit?
Interesting! We made two applications. The first one was made on December 2013 but my wife didn’t apply with this one because we didn’t declare I had savings (but evidence I was submitting showed I have savings in my English account). That’s why we made a second application on the 2nd January 2014 (I didn’t know they were changing the regulations) and we declare the savings and made the appointment for the 6th January. I think I can still make an appointment with the application we made in December but I don’t know how they will judge it, or is me lying about my savings will make a difference?rosebead wrote:Sebstewart, it just occurred to me, did your wife apply for the EEA Family Permit before 1 January 2014 or after?
