My 2 cents:
- Why change the passport? You could just move to another EU country and apply for a EEA permit there.Getting to grips with the local language, foreign bureaucracy, habits and culture certainly is an experience (I hit the UK near Glasgow 9 years ago - I always had to ask 3 times until I understood what people were talking about! And now I miss the accent...
)
- It's the same injustice in other countries: E.g. in Germany a fiancee visa costs as well, and it takes 8 freaking months to process
- I'd happily pay for a UK visa if it got my little ones here
- But yes, visa fees should cover their costs if they are not free, not be some random sum to appease Sun "readers"
- I think EEA permits take longer than UK Visa? Attorney said 2-3 months minimum, while I read about UK visas sometimes only take a few weeks?
