Ok, lad.... I got some good and some even better news for you and Jhean and Mickey.... The short of a long story is that I have found the links that prove you won't have to pay a penny to bring the Mrs and Mickey to the Uk using the EEA route to family re-unification.... As I mentioned to you before it depends on your residency and employment status in Portugal. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ecg/eunationalsschemes/eeafamilypermit#22947085 this link comes courtesy of this other one..... http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ecg/eunationalsschemes/eeafamilypermit So as you can see for yourself, it is easy peasy. Teach would have had the same rights, if he had stuck to France for a wee while longer. sorry to be late-ish with this, but better late than never... Oh, by the way, when the heck do you intend to get married, her indoors is doing me head in....
