No difference to UKBA.
In practice the last day of "old rules" is Friday 6th July

Hi sir Terpe, I just want to ask if the new rule on July 9 will also affect the EEA residence card application? I'm here in the UK in the fiancé visa route and we're going to have our wedding with my Irish fiancé this July and after that, I will be applying for the EEA Residence Card. Hope to hear from you. Many thanks.

Gretta, the changes will not impact you.

[Gretta]

Oh thanks Sir Terpe. I will apply for EEA Residence Card soon after our wedding.

[Terpe]

Oh thanks Sir Terpe. I will apply for EEA Residence Card soon after our wedding.

When is your wedding?

Before you apply you will need to check with UKBA that the situation remains the same.
The EEA route for dual British/Irish has always been fragile and totally subject to Home Office discretion.

Lets hope all goes smoothly :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Hi Sir Terpe our wedding is on the 10th of July. We will call the UKBA this coming week. What number is the UKBA? Thanks

"It sounds like one of those annoying chain emails that show up from technically challenged acquaintances: "The FBI Will Take Your Computer Offline July 9 If It Has A Virus! Visit This Site Immediately To Check!! Forward This To Everyone You Know!!!"

But the Federal Bureau of Investigation really has posted a warning on its site about the risk of "DNSChanger" malware, which really will result in your computer getting disconnected from the Web on July 9 if you don't clean it up. You won't be able to go online, and you'll need to contact your service service provider for help getting the malware deleted before you can reconnect to the Internet.

The Infection Check

To see you're infected, you just need to be able to read one line of text or know the difference between green and red. Visit www.dns-ok.us; if you see a green background to the image on that page and the words "DNS Resolution = GREEN," you're safe. (Your Internet provider may also offer a similar service. Comcast subscribers, for example, can check their computers at amibotted.comcast.net.)"

:Hellooo: Hi there joie, welcome here to the forum.

All applications made before July 9th will be counted under the "old" existing rules.
Means also that your immigration journey will be based on a 2 year route to ILR

Good luck:xxgrinning--00xx3:
