EEA FAMILY PERMIT...processing/waiting time is torture!

[aromulus]

at least your husband is not paying for it

hey dom, it's twice as bad when you have the privilege of paying to wait, worse in my case, paid for 2 settlement visa's, £1000 and having to wait 3 months

and i wonder how long will the family permit be as it is now, its open to abuse, and I wonder how many countries of the union will put their own immigration laws first before European law.

I know, mate.

I also think that the situation is stacked against the Brits, with genuine claims.

But on the other hand, if you were to live in one of the other EEA countries, you would have the same rights.

The problem for you would be that you would still a settlement visa for the Mrs once you did decide to return to the UK for good.
Vastly unfair.

i don't think all the union go by the same rules and some put their own immigration laws or parts of the own laws before union laws. you cannot have a union where there is one law for all, and yet some countries keep their own immigration laws at the same time, its and causes conflict.


I'm not so sure about that, I've heard of a few cases where people have been refused family permits, and not because of fraud or marriage of convenience..
