@snooky
I qualify for that 3years period with no gap, there reason for refusing me is that, I have a 2.5 ltr with comes with a condition of no recourse to public funds. But as you’ve advices I will be applying for my eea card. Also, I was wondering if I should call them and tell them about the uni start and see if that will make any difference? Or what do you suggest?
You could do so but it not one of the things they consider under fast track to conclude cases.
With the student Finance, appeal that decision because they have erred. Student Finance is a loan not means tested benefits. It should not affect you. The requirement is to be here lawfully.
Appeal
@snooky,
Please I have just got off the phone with student finance and they have also advised me to appeal, I need your help please. Is there anyways you can guide me with this, they said either to send them an email or download their form online and post it to them. Please I beg you, help me out here. God bless x
How many years have you lived in the UK and i presume you’re over 18 years
You might be eligible for Student Finance if:
You or your parent or your spouse/civil partner have been recognised as a refugee by the UK Government and you have remained ordinarily resident in the UK and Islands since then; or
You are settled in the UK, but you have been living outside the UK in the EEA or Switzerland during the three-year period immediately before 1st September of the year in which you start your course, and you were settled in the UK immediately before you moved to the EEA or Switzerland.
You hold Limited Leave to Remain (including Discretionary Leave to Remain) in the UK and have long residence in the UK. Following a court case in summer 2015 known as 'Tigere' the government has introduced a new category of eligibility from the 2016-17 academic year. You need to be either:
someone who is under 18 years of age and who has lived in the UK for at least 7 years prior to the first day of the first academic year of your course; or
aged 18 years and above and who has either spent at least half their life in the UK or at least 20 years in the UK prior to the first day of the first academic year of your course.
If you think your Zambrano can allow you to qualify or ltr also then one of this could be used for your appeal
