2 Rejections on EEA Family Permit to UK, Now I want to apply for Family Visit
Upvote:6
You have been applying to settle in the UK using one of the EEA routes and have been refused. You plan to wait for 6 months and apply for settlement using one of the UK routes (presumably under Appendix FM). But in the interim you want to go for a visit.
Is it wise to reapply now just for a normal visit?
You have, as they say, "tipped your hand" and they know that your intentions are to settle and live in the UK. They will assume that it's more economical for you to get in using the visitor programme (GBP 87) and then go underground compared to a settlement visa (GBP 1,195 along with the income hurdles). So from their point of view it makes sense to refuse you under Appendix V 4.2 (a) and (c) using the discrepancy method regardless of how good your evidence is.
But will a visit refusal hurt your intended settlement application? No. Settlement applications use a different set of rules where they expect you to stay on and live in the UK. There's different rules, different topology and different assumptions for that kind of application, plus they need to be a bit more careful about refusals. And once you are on a settlement track, you will not need visitor visas any more. So at the end of the day it boils down to making an 87 pound "bet" that your visit application will be approved. Given that the odds are against you, it's your personal appetite for risking the money that matters and that's something you have to decide on your own.
do I HAVE to have a solicitor?
Of course not. There is no requirement to use a professional. But since you have been having trouble understanding the rules (Unfortunately, I misread the information on the website), it might be worthwhile to consider a documentation check. These can range anywhere from GBP 100 to GBP 250 depending upon the solicitor. I wouldn't spend more for a solicitor given that you will be applying on a settlement track later this year.
Note: when you get ready to apply for settlement, please use Expats.
