EEA Family Permit refusal

Member states are allowed to insist on entry visa as per Article 5(2) of the Directive unless the non EEA spouse holds a RC. The 'funny' bit regarding the UK is that they won't accept RCs other than their own but follow the MRAX case (at least on paper). The border forces are instructed accordingly in the Border force operations manual (being updated at the moment).

Your spouse certainly does have a right to enter but only if the marriage is genuine. As the UKBA is responsible for both visa issuance and border control I wouldn't be suprised if your case is in a database and can be accessed by border forces as well. But perhaps this is just me speculating.

Hi Abracadabra, we are in a similar situation and would like to know what decision you finally made and which were the results.

Thanks!

We have re-applied for the EEA Permit again with photos of my wife and I together but no real proof of our living at the same address which is what they wanted and Signpost told me they couldn't do anything except take the case to EU court but they didn't want to do that until we re-applied for the EEA FP again. Now we are waiting 3 weeks later for the decision.

PM me for more info or post on here

Hello there!
Today i've got my EEA FP finally.
I reapplied with a new set of documents in the end and my husband changed a job since summer, so the new confirmaitons was good for Embassy i guess.
Thanks to everybody!!!

You have to give much more detail about your situation before anybody can advice you. Besides, I recommend to open your own thread unless your query is closely related to the one here.

The letter should simply state that the non-EEA national either travels with or joins the EEA national at a later date. There are no accommodation requirements, employment only if the EEA national is already in the UK for 3+ months.

I recommend to read through this forum as questions like yours come up here on a near weekly basis and have been answered in all detail.

See the posting just above yours: no details, unrelated topic.

After the first 3 months, he either needs to be working or actively looking for work. Either is fine.

Hi, sorry to bring up an old thread!

Is this the case, when a British Citizen is in France and a non EU/EEA Spouse wants to apply for a Family Permit to return to the UK, under Surinder Singh? I.e, if the British Citizen is actively looking for work, AFTER the first 3 months of living in France, is that still seen as an 'economic' activity in order to qualify for the EEA Family Permit?

Thanks.

Probably not. Working or self-employed for a reasonable period of time would work.
