Is it normal for husband and wife to receive PR in separate letters while the application was done together?

We applied together (both EU), I was on the form as my husband's dependant. My husband got his PR today, and all his documents returned. My documents and marriage certificate are not there. No mention about me whatsoever...Will I get it later? Should I be worried?

This is a thread for EEA, so this was for EU/EEA route. I believe HO prioritises EEA applications over non-EEA, hence the shorter timeframe.

Hi,

When did you request your passport back and did you get your residence card back as well?
I requested for it back 15 days after sending off my application. It took 3 weeks to get it back.

My resident permit was in my passport so I got it back aswel.

Hello all,

After reading a few dozen pages on this thread, I decided to post my questions asking for some assistance and advice.

My wife and I are from Greece and moved to UK in Sept 2009 for postgraduate studies. We both had EIC's, but they expired on 31/12/2009 and didn't get a private insurance afterwards, as nobody told us we needed to do so.
I have been working from Sept 2010 until now for the same employer.
My wife continued with a 3-year PhD, funded by her uni, but without private medical insurance (again, we had no clue about it). She has been working from 1/1/2013 until now for the same institution.

We are now peer-pressured to apply for EEA PR's, so here are my questions:

1. The online application is asking for proof self-sufficiency and proof of studies for the duration of my studies. However, this is outside the qualifying period, which will obviously be the years of my employment. Do I still need to provide that?
2. I can add my wife to my online application, where no questions are asked about her studies/employment, just for proof we have been living together. Do you think it is safe to do that? Or
3. I should submit the application just for myself for now, while my wife can wait for another 10 months until she will have been employed for continuous 5 years, so she can apply separately?
4. In general, should we cover all the 8 years with supporting documents, or just focus on the qualifying period? By the way, there is no section in the application to define this qualifying period... How is it then defined?

Thanks in advance.

Zlash92, this thread is for both EEA and Non-EEA.

Hi all!

Application posted - 06th Feb
Application received - 7th Feb
Payment taken - 10th Feb

.....Still waiting for the biometrics notification, or some sort of notification/confirmation. Dead silence. Average time for biometrics request seems to be less than two weeks. I am getting a bit concerned that we havent heard anything.
Any idea how I can follow up and find out?

Thank you
Resh

Please also note am serving a caution for "common Assault" in 2013 was arrested for one night . If anyone could advise me what can i expect from home office to be well prepared for possible assault and yes the lady on the phone was very rude but i was gentle and patient regardless of my situation.

Mr. Obie and Mr. Nojanathan i have been reading your comments for a long time now. Could any of you guys please shed some light on my situation.

Much appreciate your guidance and advise.

Many thanks,
M

Your 5 year qualifying period starts from the date you got married to EEA national, assuming you were living in the UK. Otherwise, from the time you entered the UK as a family member. This is all assuming the EEA national is exercising their treaty right during that time too.

For unmarried partners, it starts from the time the RC is issued.

So in your case February 2012 to February 2017, assuming your EEA national family is exercising their treaty right during your 5 year qualifying period.

Dear all,


I'm requesting for help regarding my application for EEA PR certificate and EEA PR cards my for non EEA family members, home office refused my application on the basis of claiming job seekers allowance for more than 91 days. I would like to ask for your help with my case as home office has issued a letter for my family members to make arrangements to leave the U.K. Within 14 days of that letter or to appeal against the decision. But as far I have read that an EEA national does not any restrictions on claiming job seekers allowance for more than 91 days in 5 years time. I'm looking for your earliest reply.

Hi Durani
Sorry to hear this I think the best thing to do is find good solicitors and a peal it you have 14 days I don't know when it stared but try to find good solicitor to get the best advice and has the home office refused the both application for the same reason ? And can you plz put your time line if u don't mind so that can help others thanks and best of luck.
