UK Residence card for Non-EEA parents, if I visit part time?
Posted: Sun May 29, 2016 9:15 am
I am a UK Citizen living and working in France for the last 2 years. I want to apply for surinder singh for my dependant parents. My parents are non EU nationals who require visa to visit UK and France. My parents are coming to France 3 weeks from now and I have prepared all the documentation for their carte de sejour (residence card in France). My children are UK nationals but my wife is a permanent resident of UK and not a national. My family (wife and children along with my dependant parents) plan to move to UK after my parents get the French residence card and EU Family Permit. I am having a job in France which I can't quit for at least an year, I would not be wholly moving back to UK myself within an year of them (my family + parents) moving to UK. I would visit them in UK regularly every weekend (Saturday Sunday). The age of my parents are 67 years and 58 years for father and mother respectively.
I want to be able to apply for the UK residence card for my parents as soon as possible because I fear that the Surinder Singh route will be closed soon and I want to get my foot in before the door closes completely. Is it possible that I start some business company in UK, where my wife (UK permanent resident) can work after she moves to UK with my parents and I can come on weekends to UK regularly and do part time work there in UK to show that I am spending time with them in UK?
I genuinely want to move to the UK with my parents but my job in France requires me to stay till the next year which is why I can't move immediately this year so do you think Is there any possibility in any way that I can apply for my parent's UK residence card while not staying full time in UK myself?
To summerize, Will it be possible for me to apply for my dependant parents UK residence card via surinder singh route even if I myself don't permanently move to UK (and only visit them every weekend) while my wife and children move to UK with my parents? Will the UKBA raise any objection?
This issue has been troubling me for quite some time. If anyone could help with this query I would be really thankful.
Regards
