Surinder Singh rule for parents

Post by djc0014 » Sat Sep 17, 2016 12:05 am

Guys, I am desperate to get my parents (78 and 66 years respectively and suffering from poor health)to live with me. I am a British citizen and they are Indians. I can not think of any other way but the Surinder Sing route. Off late , I have read that the route through Ireland is experiencing considerable delays.

Considering that, should I look into starting the whole process there, now
or
Look for another country to start the process. If so, any other recommendations like Malta or Italy or anything else?

Any information shall be greatly appreciated.

Shall keep you updated. thanks

Won't be easy but SS is only hope.
However, no time to acquire full PR status for parents now.

Yes, delays reported in Eire.
Some members have reported giving up on Eire and going elsewhere.

Yes, Malta is Anglophile and English-speaking.

Good luck.

You also need to consider in which country you are most likely to secure employment.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

DO you have any nuclear family (spouse and children) of your own? Remember that they will have to tag along with you on your SS journey (otherwise you could fail the center of life requirement) and you will want to factor in the effect of the move on your children's education and spouse's career, if any.
