hello,
my wife is thai, she has 5 years resident stamp, here in belfast /uk on EEA FP. i have just read that home office since last year 2011 are changing rules for eu citizens ( myself ) bringing their non eea family members ( my wifes sons) over to uk on FP visa,s. apparently they are stopping this route for eu citizens who have not lived outside uk namely ROI or any other EU country .

can anyone tell me if this is the case now or not, have home office implemented new rules to date or not ?

we are due to travel to thailand in june or july and submit an EEA application to bring my wifes two twin sons aged 12 years back to belfast/uk . we do not want to waste money travelling and paying for flights etc if at from the outset this application is doomed to fail. we are both now unemployed due to me being on incapacity benefit ( sick ) long term. and wife out of work due to post natal depression after having our daughter 3 years ago.

thankyou in advance.
