Issued! My visa is in the mail as I write this. If anyone else is in a similar situation, don't give up hope. Two years cohabitation is not the be-all end-all of this visa. The language in the UKBA guidance even notes that ECOs must consider the overall picture, not only the recommended two years ...
Thank you so much, that is what I ended up writing on the application. I have one final question before I am completely done with this application! I'm not quite sure what the wording should be on my boyfriend's covering letter for the application. We're torn between, "I intend to exercise my treaty ...
Hello, I'm trying to fill out the online application and could really use some input here. There's no option to skip over questions about finances, and I'm not really sure how to approach them. For example the question What are your Current Personal Circumstances? Gives options such as employed full ...
Thanks, that's very good to know. So do I just ignore those sections on the form? Specifically, Part 5 and Parts 8.9 and 8.10: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/visas/vaf5.pdf Will I be able to skip over them when I am filling out the online version? Or should I write "n ...
I've read over and over again on this forum that applicants for the EEA FP do not have to supply financial information/evidence that they meet maintenance requirements to live in the UK. I was planning on writing "N/A for EEA applicants" on any financial questions on the application and blacking out ...
Sorry, I didn't think it was a duplicate posting since it was an entirely new question! From everything that I have read, 2 years cohabitation for the EEA family permit is NOT a requirement, it is only a strongly suggested guideline. (vs. the UK unmarried partnership visa where it's definitely a ...
Let me make sure I'm understanding this: The EEA Family Permit does not give you the right to work if it has been issued on the basis of a durable relationship? You have to wait until being approved for the RC to begin seeking employment? I thought that having the EEA FP gave you the right to work ...
Hello, I got some very helpful answers to an earlier question on this forum, and I'm hoping you all can help me again. I am hoping to apply for the EEA Family Permit on the basis of a durable relationship with my boyfriend in May 2012. From May 2010 until Sept 2010 the only proof we have of ...
Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, we would be using our time in Ecuador as part of the two years cohabitation. My boyfriend has a job lined up for that time period and we will have an apartment where we would both be signed onto a short-term lease. We should also be able to put utilities into our ...
Hello, I haven't been able to find an answer to this question anywhere, apologies if I've missed a previous post. I'm an American citizen, my boyfriend has dual Ecuadorian/Italian citizenship. We've been together for about 3 years, and as of May 2012 will have enough documentation to prove 2 years ...
