My wife and I have registered with a GP recently (for the first time). She is an EEA and I'm non-EEA with a 6-month EEAFP (though it is not the first one, as we go back and forth frequently). We did not show our passports to them at all. Just gave them a council tax bill (it is in both our names ...

The visa needs to be over six months UNLESS it is a category leading to settlement, such as fiancee visa or EEA dependent. You must insist, and if they still refuse say that you will be notifying the Primary Care Trust, who will tell them of their obligations. Exactly. You have to intend to stay in ...

Hi magata, an off topic question..were you on a 6 months eea family permit initially? if so did you have a problem registering with a GP?

I sent mine in the day before the family permit expired; I had an appointment to get a national insurance number shortly before that so I needed my passport. But, you can send in the EEA2 application anytime after entering the UK. i read somewhere on here that if you send it earlier, it gets ...

congrats yankee girl!!!

did you apply near the expiry of your visa or a lot earlier?

yes, unfortunartely, they say the visa should be atleast a year...

How do I make my appeal? If you have the right of appeal the Entry Clearance Officer will give you three forms: your written notice of refusal (setting out why your application for a visa has been refused); your notice of appeal (the form which you must complete and return to the Entry Clearance ...

rainbow24: InshaAllah you guys would succeed in re applic/appeal..
what reasons did they give of the rejection?

the agreement does not say anything about inviting people..

however, it does say that council has to be notified if the number of people living in the house changes..

I would request a letter from the council to provide a letter..thats the safest option

thankyou very much for your advice John

Assad, the detailed rules are mentioned in this topic . So with 6 "counting rooms", clearly there will be a lot less than 12 people living there. Would it be correct to think that you and your wife will have the exclusive use of one of the bedrooms? Your parents being tenants? They need to get ...

thanx for ur reply John 6 rooms other than bathroom/toilet/Spam! this includes 4 bedrooms and 2 reception/sitting rooms. All 7 would be adults. i'm pretty sure it wouldnt be classified as over crowded.. Im unsure of whether my parents not owning the house (council's house) would be a problem and ...
