“Am primit refuz la rezidență și am aplicat la viza de familie ca să fiu în ordine”

Am văzut destul de des postări în care persoane care au primit refuz la aplicații de rezidență ca membri de familie au continuat să rămână în UK după refuz afirmând că au aplicat pentru viză de familie, ca să fie în ordine cu actele.

Lucrurile stau diferit cu aplicatul pentru viza din interiorul UK și, de fapt, ori nu au aplicat pentru viză de familie ori, pentru ca nu știu legile și nu citesc dinainte pe site-ul guvernului, au fost păcalite și li s-a “vândut” aplicația la rezidență ca fiind pentru viză, de catre diverși “experți”, contabili wannabe, falși avocați sau simpli țepari.

Când nu poți obține o viză de familie
Nu poți aplica pentru o viză de familie sau schimba către o viză de familie când ești în UK cu o viză de vizitator sau o viză pentru 6 luni sau mai puțin.

Va trebui să părăsești UK pentru a aplica pentru o viză de familie:

  • dacă ai permisiunea de a fi în UK ca vizitator (și când treceți ca turiști pe la e-gates tot permisiune de vizitator primiți din partea sistemului, chiar dacă nu aveți standard visitor visa sau ștampilă cu 6 luni în pașaport)
  • dacă viza ta este pentru 6 luni sau mai puțin

Poți schimba către o viză de familie în UK doar dacă ești intrat deja cu o viză de familie de 6 luni ca logodnic, logodnică sau partener civil propus sau dacă ai permisiunea de a rămâne în UK pentru soluționarea unui proces în instanța de familie sau a unui divorț.

La fel, nu poți aplica pentru o viză de familie dacă membrul tău de familie (persoana în baza căreia aplici) se află temporar în UK cu o viză de muncă sau viză de student. În situația asta, poți aplica în schimb pentru a rămâne cu ei ca dependant.

Deci ca să fie lucrurile clare, nu poți să vii ca turist, să aplici la rezidență ca membru de familie și să primești refuz, după care să aplici la viza de familie în timp ce te afli încă în UK.

Cum stă treaba cu “am voie să stau 6 luni in UK”

Articole Imigratie, Border Force, Conditii de calatorie, Fraudă de imigrație, GOV.UK, Home Office, informatii utile, Mituri și legende, Mituri, legende, dezinformări, Noul sistem de imigratie in UK, Rezidenta, Rob Mar, Români în Anglia, Viata in UK, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Întrebare: ”Daca o persoana din EU vine in UK in vizita la rude, prieteni etc, si sta 6 luni pe an, asta se considera ca locuieste aici? Deci vine 6 luni, pleaca, sta 6 luni in Ro, vine iar 6 luni”.

Răspuns: Rob Mar:  ”Doua comentarii importante (ce adreseaza direct ce intrebi tu + o “poama” similara care tot apare pe grupurile de romani)

1a) Legea (Appendix V) se refera DIRECT si EXPLICIT la ce intrebi tu aici. Si zice asa, in Paragraful. V 4.2.b. unde defineste “a genuine visitor” (adica un vizitator care chiar e vizitator): “will not live in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits, or make the UK their main home” (adica un vizitator care chiar e vizitator nu va locui in Marea Britanie pentru perioade lungi de timp sau prin intermediul unor vizite frecvente sau al unor vizite repetate).

Evident exista exceptii, insa in >99% din cazurile cu “stat in Ro 6 luni, apoi in UK 6 luni” se incalca direct si flagrant setul de legi care guverneaza obligatiile vizitatorilor, chit ca provin dintr-o tara care necesita viza inainte de intrarea in UK, chit ca sunt dintr-o tara care nu necesita viza inainte de intrarea in UK.

Ca cineva sa fie vizitator veritabil, viata lor trebuie sa fie in alta tara. Si aici nu vorbim despre un calcul de zile (6 luni), calcul care de altfel nici nu exista explicit in lege, ci vorbim efectiv despre CENTRUL VIETII LOR. Cand ai sot/sotie in UK si vii la el/ea cate 6 luni pe an, este IMPOSIBIL ca centrul vietii tale sa mai fie in Romania. Pentru ca sotul/sotia nu locuieste in Romania, pentru ca e foarte probabil ca nu ai un job in Romania (ce job te asteapta sa fii plecat 6 luni pe an?), pentru ca e foarte probabil ca sursa principala de venit sa fie castigurile sotului/sotiei din UK.

Si aici, ca mica adaugire, trebuie vorbit despre bunici. Un lucru pe care marea majoritate a oamenilor il uita/ignora/nu il stiu este ca a avea grija de nepoti este munca. Un vizitator (chiar si bunic, deci membru de familie al minorilor) care vine sa stea cu copii FACE MUNCA. Iar acest lucru este in lege de cand a pierdut Home Office faimosul proces Sawmynaden din 2012 si apoi Theresa May (la vremea respectiva ministru de interne) a cerut schimbarea legilor, astfel incat sa se interzica explicit astfel de cazuri. Da, poate parea cruzime, insa este lege. Si tot ce e nevoie e un vecin (un curtain-twitcher) care nu are ce face si e mult prea plictisit cu viata proprie, sa o vada pe maica-ta/sa il vada pe taica-tu plimbandu-ti copilul cu caruciorul sau la parc 2-3 zile la rand. Vecin care nu te place si are mai mult decat un neuron functional (adica stie unde sa faca raport). Acest raport dureaza, pe ceas, 1 minut si 40 de secunde. Si pentru ca implica minor, va fi 99% investigat. Si se descopera ca bunicul/bunica nu e in vizita, ci e babysitter.

1b) Strans legata de cele scrise mai sus este conceptia gresita ca romanii (si detinatorii de pasapoarte europene) nu pot aplica de viza de vizitator. AU CONTRAIRE. Nu numai ca pot, dar ar si trebui sa o faca, MAI ALES CEI CARE PLANUIESC SA FIE 6 LUNI IN RO SI 6 LUNI IN UK, CU ANII. Nu numai pentru linistea lor, sa nu le tremure fundurile de fiecare data cand se dau jos din avion in UK, dar pentru ca este singura forma legala de a te asigura ca nu incalci AppendixV, si ca nu iti faci din UK “casa” prin acele vizite repetate sau vizite pe perioade mai lungi de care vorbeam mai sus. Aplici la viza, care poate fi pe 6 luni, pe 1, 2, 5, sau 10 ani, si apoi ai EXPLICIT permisiunea din partea Regatului Unit sa vii sa stai cate 6 luni pe an in UK [https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor]

2. “Am pasaport european/romanesc, deci am voie sa stau 6 luni in UK.”

Toate afirmatiile astea cu “am voie” sunt amuzante, daca nu ar fi triste. Si daca nu ar fi motivul pentru care suntem cap de lista (cu sutele in fiecare saptamana) la procedurile IS81/82 (adica arest) pe toate aeroporturile din UK.

Nu, nimeni nu “ARE VOIE” sa vina in UK doar pentru ca are pasaport European. Si nu ma refer la introducerea ETA, care urmeaza anul asta. Ma refer la dreptul de a veni in UK. Nu este un drept implicit pe care ti-l da pasaportul. Nu e un drept dat de dumnezeu. Nu e un drept dat de mos craciun. Sau de sfanta paraschiva. Sau de cainele vecinei de la 3. Nu e un drept de altfel. Este o permisiune pe care o ceri (ori prin viza ori de la frontiera) si care ti se da daca esti considerat vizitator veritabil.

Repet: IN LEGE NU EXISTA DREPTUL AUTOMAT PE CARE IL AU PERSOANELE DETINATOARE DE PASAPORT AL UNEI TARI CARE NU ARE NEVOIE DE VIZA PENTRU A INTRA IN UK IN VIZITA. SI NU EXISTA NICI PERIOADA MAXIMA PE CARE CINEVA O POATE PETRECE AICI (FAIMOSUL CALCUL DE 6 LUNI ESTE UN CALCUL PUR MATEMATIC, CALCUL MATEMATIC NEGATIV, DE INTERPRETARE A UNOR PARAGRAFE DIN LEGE)

Ca sa fii vizitator in UK trebuie sa ti se DEA voie sa fii vizitator in UK. Voie care ti se da prin viza. Sau de un nene sau o tanti la ghiseul de imigrari. Sau chiar si prin deschiderea portilor (e-gates) de la aeroport. Faptul ca acele porti ti se deschid seminifica o intreaga analiza care a fost inceputa din momentul in care ti-ai cumparat bilet de avion. Nu ti se deschid portile, fara sa fii chemat la ghiseu, doar pentru ca ai pasaport romanesc/european/american/australian/etc si pentru ca “ai dreptul “sa vii in UK in vizita.”
