have u read any post of this thread??did u not read that the OP applied while his passport was retained by the ukba and then he was refused because he had no id to prove his identity(passport expired) and his country's consulate won't issue him a new passport because they need to have a proof of lawful residency in the uk,meaning a visa or residence card in his previous passport which he doesn't have.toni34 wrote:Pls be aware that you r taking this matter the wrong way,your proof to being an e.u family member or spouse is not strong enough and people here are not even ready or too polite to point it out.the onus of proof is on you not the ukba,you don't even need a judicial review,what you need is the following documents 1.your passport document.2.EU passport of your eu.proof of official letters addressed to both of you in the same address to prove history of relationship,you need letters like tv licence,council tax bill,water and electricity bills,then you need to show how the e.u member is exercising her trealty rights.if you can do the above then reapply you will get your RC.you don't need those greedy solicitors.most of us here didn't use and were illegals like myself before I got mine.you can use your country I.d as proof of identity but you need the EU passport.
so its a catch 22 my friend..thanks for the advice but its no use to him..he got now an appeal in progress with his lawyer and i think that this is the only option he has right now..and apparently it paid off..hopefully.
