With the exception of Warsong, which could do with a bit lower population level and hasn't had the chance lately, we're leaving the migration off until after next week's maintenance. This is to let the population stabilise a little after the recent migrations, and then decide whether to offer more free migration at this time.

Q u o t e:
May be I should have awaited for further information in the spanish forums, but no answer appeared to exist in, except somebody who said there could be some troubles with it.

The Spanish migration thread contains updates concerning the migration issue currently affecting Spanish and French PvP to PvE migration. Please refer to that thread for updates: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=121882344&sid=4

Q u o t e:
The PvE-PvP migration that's currently for spanish and french realms,could that happen to a english realm(s) also? and if so could Darkspear be in for a possible migration?(pve or pvp)?

There's no PvE to PvP migration. The French and Spanish currently have some chances of PvP to PvE migration, which is rarely used for free migration but may be tried if regular PvP to PvP or PvE to PvE doesn't give the wanted results.

Q u o t e:
why is it possible that the french and the panish can change from pvp to pve ??

We have two goals with free character migration:
1. Move players away from realms that are too highly populated.
2. Move players to realms that are too low populated.

Sometimes the incentive of the migration being free isn't enough, and we need to provide more options. In these cases we sometimes also offer free PvP to PvE migration, though (as with all free migration) only between a small selection of realms. For English and German realms this has not been a necessity this time around, though it was used once or twice in the past.

And once again, the migration is based on population level, not popular request or other factors. There's absolutely no point in requesting migration from or to different realms, as it will not be taken into account.

Q u o t e:
Is a guild transfer now offering? So can our GM move whole guild himself?

No, there's currently no guild migration support. It's up to the guild to organise such, and (in the case of not everybody being available to move their characters) evaluate whether to move anyway or not.
