So, your husband is Polish? How ling has he been in the UK and is he working here? What nationality are you? When did you arrive in the UK? I'm not sure what you mean by visa is wrong. If you could post a few more details that would be really helpful; I'm not sure exactly what the issue is and don't want to give you wrong information.

Sounds like OP was on a six month EEA RP which expired last April so I gather OP is now an overstayer.

When did you apply for the EEA RP extension? Before it expired or as I suspect, after?

suits2me, seeing your posting makes me want to reply with... get visa only for 4 months why first? husband need visa, But he from Poland, no? Ask passport you back, so visa not extended. Not ask passport, and send passport visa will extended.

See where I am going with it. Your husband does not need a visa as he is Polish. I hope he has registered with the WRS and if you do not want to change your mind about wanting to stay here and do a course in English, then apply for the EEA Family Permit after you are done with your studies in the British embassy of which ever country you are going to study and then come over and make an application for the FMRS or the EEA2 form, depending on what your situation your husband is on.

I hope you can understand my answer.

What I don't understand is why would HO send ur passport to Ukraine - so far as I can see Ukraine has nothing to do with it?

Which visa were you granted? An EEA Family Permit or an ordinary Visit visa. Does the embassy know that you are married to Polish husband?

Home Office send my passport to Ukraine say will take 8 months....

I agree with Wanderer. That cannot be true. Something is missing here. Also...

Get passport back as need in for travel last month but no extension

If your passport is in Ukraine for 8 months, how did you get it back last month?

worried

Why? If you do not have 'visa' (FMRS/EEA2) on your passport, you can apply for 'visa' (EEA Family Permit) from Poland, when you want to return back after your studies.

Or, are you having trouble getting visa for Poland from Polish embassy because you do not have a valid visa for UK?

I think everyone needs to calm down!

There is a language problem here, and suite2me I don't think anyone is trying to make you feel bad, they are just wanting to make sure that they know what has happened so that you can be advised.

Okay, so my interpretation is that you came to the UK on a visa as an EEA dependent, as you were married to a Polish man, and have applied for an extension. Even if the visa was actually as a visitor, it makes no difference if you have applied for the leave to remain on the strength of the married.

It is plausable that they have taken 8 months to decide an EEA application, but I agree that the referral back to the Ukraine is strange. perhaps they want to check your last visa, or perhaps there is confusion over the passport.

The questions I want to ask you are:

1) Have I understood the situation correctly?
2) When you took the passport back, did you withdraw the application?

If you would prefer to e-mail or PM me on this, please do.

Victoria

It was never my intention to make you feel bad. I did take a dig at your poor English skills, but it was done in good humour and if you felt bad, then...

The story is unworkable with the details that you have provided and Victoria seems to have understood the story almost exactly as we all have. So, hope she can sort this out for you. All the best!

Victoria, if I become any calmer, I will be in a coma!
