Hi all I applied for PR status beginning of September, and my documents were returned as they needed more information to cover 1 year. I returned the information, and got a COA late October. Today I have received my Permanent Resident Card. Also, a relative of mine coincidentally applied for ...

Don't you have a valid residence permit? In that case you wouldn't need a family permit. If you really need to apply for the family permit just answer "permanently" to the first question and "N/A" to the second. Write a cover letter explaining your situation. My residence permit was for 5 years ...

Hi all I did a search but didnt find anything so here goes: I have recently qualified for permanent residence as my wife is an EU national.

Hi all I recently submitted an EEA4, and called to request our passports back (we need to travel to South Africa). I was told to speak to the British High Commission in South Africa to check what documents are required when I return to the UK. The have now emailed to say I have to apply for a Family ...

I have made various European applications in the past, and never sent passports with the initial application to Croydon. By the time the application is finally processed they will ask for missing documents. Usually they ask for many more documents as well (including ones that are actually not ...
