Thanks @JamboJambo wrote:There is no requirement to be on the spouse visa to apply as spouse for naturalisation. These are two separate routes.
If your spouse is BC, you can apply for BC directly as a spouse of EEA national (so got PR) and a spouse of BC (she can apply immediately once PR is obtained). The 3 years requirement is for residence (which obviously you fulfil). You don't need to be married 3 years or your spouse doesn't need to be British for 3 years.
I really dont understand these, please can you open a new topic for it because its going out of my own topic. But for an advice, if an immigration officer even the police disgrace or ransack my house the way you just said and i have done nothing wrong, there is what they call a law in this country, i know they are doing their job and i did not obstruct them, but i will CLAIM off them for destroying my properties and for street humiliation. you better get a solicitor to raise a claim notice for you to the HO Local area Head office.malik261 wrote:Hi Guys
I have been reading this forum for quite sometime ( more precisely since I applied for my EEA 4 on the 16th of June 2014)
By reading many of your experiences I became aware that this application would take a few months..
A bit of background
* I am a Non EEA family member
* My Wife is a EEA National who already has a UK Permanent Residence Permit for the last 6 years
* My 5 years EEA family permit came to an end therefore I applied for my PR -EEA4 on the 16th of June
* I received my HO letter on the 30th June confirming application was received
* Along with the application as needed the necessary documents were sent to show that both me and wife have been exercising Treaty rights for the past 5 years ( bank statements, employer letters, P60s, Tenancy agreements & utility bills )
So I was waiting .. AND some UNEXPECTED visitors knocked on my door yesterday morning at 6:30 am![]()
Yep... you are thinking right.. I had 3 Immigration Enforcement Officers knocking my door in a way like there was an emergency..
Really hard.. really loud.
My Wife open the door and these 3 officers just barged their way in and showed an big photo of me asking her if she knew who this person was!!!![]()
I woke up with the noise and came out to see who it was..
As soon as I was out I was taken to a different room and she was taken to another division of the house.
The questions we were asked were hilarious not to mention non-ending..
Our bedroom was checked thoroughly ( wardrobes, chest drawers, clothes, shoes.. ) they asked to see documents ( any documents for me and my wife).
The bathroom was checked so were our mobiles phones ( texts, calls, photos..)
All this lasted for around 30 to 40 minutes..
We obviously cooperated with the officers and all the situation, but I must say that firstly it was totally unexpected and not only that, they were intimidating / trying to intimidate us.
I did ask them if this was part of the procedure to which one of the officers replied that at least 9 out of 10 EEA applications are checked this way..
I couldn't believe this - as I have been reading many forums and never came across to anything like this.
So they left and I am still waiting for my application...
I have no clue why my application was picked for a " face to face check"
Oh Yeh.. not to forget mentioning.. They came in this not very appealing white Van with big black letters " IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS" on their uniforms..![]()

This is just a heads up for you guys out there, don't be shocked if you have BIA knocking your door early in the morning.
I would appreciate any opinions or please share if you have had or heard similar situations.
I would like to know the time line after the visit please help.
Thanks
