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!

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? YES; THAT'S RIGHT.
Did you also state that you would be moving to the uk? YES; SEE BELOW
Also not sure weather to write job seeker or unemployed on the application? YOU DON'T NEED TO MENTION THIS ANYWHERE ON THE EEA FP APPLICATION - I DID NOTE THAT I WANTED TO TRAVEL TO THE UK IN MY COVER LETTER THOUGH.

Sorry for so many questions!
Thanks

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 of this

Thanks for your help, so nice to have found someone who has been through this ordeal! How did it feel renouncing your brit cit? So frustrating waiting for that document! I've written a couple of emails to enquire about my application but no answer, hope it comes soon

I think you have brought us luck, my renunciation document arrived today after I wrote on here! HEHE - GOOD NEWS
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 asap providing we get the EEA permit! BECOMING SELF-EMPLOYED IS PERFECTLY VIABLE; HOWEVER, YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE DOCUMENTS THAT WILL BE NEEDED WHEN APPLYING FOR AN EEA2 RESIDENCE CARD FOR THE NON-EEA CITIZEN. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THIS.
So I have been going over the application.
What is your main purpose for going to the uk? Should we write to move? TO TRAVEL TO THE UK WITH MY XXXX (YOUR CITIZENSHIP) PARTNER/HUSBAND/WIFE ETC.
How long do you intend on staying in the uk? Should we write indefinitely? I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT WE WROTE HERE TO BE HONEST (MAYBE IT WAS 'UNDECIDED') BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN REJECT YOU FOR. AS LONG AS THE UK IS PART OF THE EEA YOU CAN BE THERE AS LONG AS YOU LIKE.

Im also worried how I can prove that I live abroad with my partner, there is nothing in my name! DO YOU HAVE A VISA IN YOUR PASSPORT FOR HER COUNTRY? CONTRACT FROM WORK? FLIGHT TICKETS? THIS ISN'T A BIG ISSUE ACTUALLY. YOU SAY 'PARTNER': ARE YOU MARRIED OR IN A CIVIL PARTNERSHIP OR ARE YOU DURABLE PARTNERS WHO HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 2 YEARS?

OUT OF INTEREST, WHAT'S YOUR OTHER CITIZENSHIP? (THIS DOESN'T AFFECT ANYTHING...I'M JUST CURIOUS!)

My husband thinks im worrying too much!

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 language but if it means we can be togtheter with our child in the UK then so be it.
I have a stamp showing my entry into my husbands country from march in my british passport, should I photocopy that? So I've been living outside the Uk since then.
Hope it'll be alright?!

fig wrote: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 requirements are not needed?

Thanks

fig wrote: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?

fig wrote: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 passport anyway ......
The wait is killing me! I hope all will be alright.......

Without you I would be a nervous reck!
Thanks Chaoclive! you have helped so much
