Thanks Chaoclive!

We are just having a problem with my husband being able to open a bank account?

Also can he apply for an NI number on the permit?

Thanks so much and Happy New Year!

We got it!!!!

In the UK now.
Thanks for your help!

Any advise for the EEA2?

Today we received an email saying Sorry for not replying and that the Entry Clearance Manager has recommended that our application be given to an ECO and that we do not need to reapply.

Do you think it sounds hopeful?

Hope so!!

Oh I really hope so! it really is so annoying
if they refuse we will just reapply.......

Thank you

Brilliant thanks

I'll try everything! Now we will wait for some kind of response and if they return our documents we'll just apply again.
Hoping they will check it all again and say something!

I emailed them the link you sent me

We would like to inform you that you do not qualify for EEA FM. Therefore, you will need to withdraw your current application and reapply for settlement. In order to withdraw your application, please send your confirmation notice to this e-mail address. Once we receive your confirmation, we will ...

Wow I can't thank you enough...... So very frustrated right now! plus it's the weekend and no way of getting anything done :( after the email I sent them one stating that they should check the documents again,and they responded by saying that my passport is valid and I am British! I then replied and ...

So today the embassy emailed us saying that my husband does not qualify for an EEA permit because me his wife is british!!! We sent all the documents of my British Citizenship renunciation! HELP! What to do? They are saying he needs to apply for settlement? and we must withdraw the application? I ...

If the EU citizen is moving to the uk they do not need to show they are working for the first three months.

Fingers are firmly crossed! Thanks Chaoclive :) This whole process has been a living hell and has taken nearly one year! If my mother didn't hold polish citizenship we would never be able to do this, so on the other hand I feel rather lucky, but it makes me mad that the Uk rules make this so hard ...

We're applying from Tbilisi, Georgia. The submissions officer was extremely nosey, asking personal and uneessesary questions. They asked my husband why there was no financial evidence and he explained the law and they still suggested he must submit his bank statements! Also annoyed about the ...

Today my husband submitted all of our documents,but they didn't accept my original passport :/ they just took a photocopy they also questioned why no financial evidence was provided! Feeling stressed

Brilliant thank you so much for helping!

Thanks also can't find a link.
We will just cross our fingers now not much else we ca do! Im about to write a cover letter, do you think its best to keep it simple?

Hi Chaoclive Getting very nervous as we have our Appointment on Thursday! I was just wondering if you put any details of having money? bank statement?Or showing how we are paying for our flight? I put N/A on all such questions! Is there anything in the EEA directive that mentions financial ...

Thank you Chaoclive we will apply this week!

Thanks again :) Really appreciate your help! We are married and we have our certificate translated.So the permit is for my husband :) My mother was born in Poland and I decided to apply for citizenship and luckily I got it! A little strange being a citizen of a country where I don't even speak the ...

Thank you :) I think you have brought us luck, my renunciation document arrived today after I wrote on here! I also have no feeling as to renouncing my citizenship as it really does just feel like a piece of paper. We have plans to start our own business in the uk so we will become self employed ...

Hi I was just wondering that they might question the fact I am not excercising my treaty rights? Should we say that we are visiting for 3 months or moving permanently? We will be self employed in the uk, should we mention that? I think most of our application will say NA! Still so worried about all ...

Brilliant, thanks again
I hope my husband and I will soon get the permit.

Thank you! You have really put my mind at ease! I thought we would need to provide much more documentation for the application! But it seems uneessesary. Did you just put N/A when it asks about employment and money etc? Did you also state that you would be moving to the uk? Also not sure weather to ...

Thank you so much!
Congratulations to you for getting it! It's killing us.
Just wondering what documents you provided for the permit application?
Also we are married on Brit Passport!?

Thanks!

Hi, really hoping for some help and advice. I am currently waiting for renunciation of British citizenship, its been around 2 months! My partner and I are currently living in a non EU country. After confirmation of renunciation we will apply for a EEA family permit for the UK. So nervous that this ...
