New Visa Laws for Spouses - Need help

As others have said, this only applies to dual Irish/UK citizens who were born and raised in the UK and have never lived in Ireland or any other EU country....they cannot be said to be exercising treaty rights in the UK as they have been living and working in the UK based on their UK citizenship.

Surinder Singh is a concession for people who only hold UK citizenship and who have been living and working in another EU country with their non-EEA spouse for at least 6 months before moving back to the UK.

From the UKBA website:

Is there anywhere official where it says it must be six months, or is that just a myth?

Good question actually - I recalled the 6 months part from another thread, where the discussion had a big emphasis on '6 months'. I didn't see anything about this in the PDF file I took the quote above from though.

It's also mentioned on this page: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/guidance/ecg/eun/eun2/#header14, but nothing about 6 months specifically.

Yeah, I can never find anything about the six month thing, although that seems to be commonly accepted as being an "ok" amount of time.

The new rules are unfair, in my opinion, but it'll take long court battle(s) for it to be overturned, no amount of campaigning/complaining will help sadly.

The under 21 rule delayed my move to the UK, they got rid of it the month after my 21st Birthday.
