It's not really my opinion but I have seen many relationships falter because of face time and lack of money.loozit wrote:I would agree with you if the system was the same for everyone. But it's not. It is far easier for the eea permit to be abused than the system in place for British nationals.
If the system was more competent generally then i would say yes.
And for the record, there are lots of people whose relationships are not based on the internet and who have children with their spouses who are still being refused entry for reasons that aren't even lawful in this country.
The ecos abroad are not held accountable for their wrong decisions.
I agree Britain should not be left wide open for all to come here.
I just wonder why the system is made so difficult for us and yet so easy for those exercising treaty rights.
And the truth is you do need money to be treated fairly, so far it has cost me and my husband £2000.
And i just wonder, is it right that my husband is going to miss the birth of his son in May because the system is so backed up and imcompetent that appeals take 6 months to a year?
I admit, i have personal interest in this.
I can leave and live with him in his country? if only it was that simple. My mother is in the advanced stages of metastatic breast cancer and therefor i feel i should not have to choose between my husband and her.
Yes me too, if it was going to a decent service, instead what i got this time was a page of illiterate rubbish.MikeCharlie wrote:Oh, and I would be happy to pay a fee increase of 100%.... but will the application get processed 100% faster? Will the IND be 100% more helpful? Will I get 100% more for my money?
Somehow, I think not...
Loozit, If by this you were refering to my suggestion, please do note that when it was made to Alisa it was not meant as an abuse of the EEA rights system, but rather as a route of escaping a system that I do not consider fair. Had she been married to a British citizen, she would have qualified in half an years time for her ILR as she has already been with him for 1.5 years. Just because he is another EEA national instead of british, did not seem like a good reason for me to let her tolerate someone who she doesnot want to be with for another 3.5 years.. instead of the .5 years she would have to tolerate had she been with a British and also in it for her ILR. Any system is open to abuse, whether it be immigration or any other fields in life. I just hope what I suggested doesnt look like an encouragement in the abuse of any system as it clearly wasnt my intention.loozit wrote:I just checked out the "divorcing me eea partner" what a joke, this is exactly what im talking about, open to abuse just as easily if not easier than a spouse visa.
Excellent point. In a previous life I used to teach Chinese students in the UK. The universities and colleges are making a mint from fees, and with recruitment scouts all over Asia business goes very strong indeed.limey wrote:There are people from all over the World coming to the UK to study. Some of them are bound to form relationships whilst here just as me and my Chinese wife did!
