EEA2 Application Timelines - ONLY 1 TOPIC - UpToDate

[nora_804]

Could you be so kind as to read the reason for refusal under from home office, and give me what you have though of it. Neither me or my husband understand completely what HO mean by refusal

Your application has been assessed and it has been noted that you have failed to provide any proof that you are the family member of an EEA national, therefore you have failed to meet the criteria as set out in regulation 17(1) (b) of Immigration (EEA) Regulation 2006

In making the decision to refuse your application consideration has been given to the following :
• EEA 2 Application
• ARC card
• Norway passport, returned to applicant
• wick & Co Solicitors, no longer representative

[mmalinconia]

it's strange that they don't list any other documents you sent, such as marriage certificate.

Hi putini

our first application was sen 14.04.2015, and now we have right to appeal.

I saw this on the website :

Issue of residence card
17.—(1) The Secretary of State must issue a residence card to a person who is not an EEA national and is the family member of a qualified person or of an EEA national with a permanent right of residence under regulation 15 on application and production of—

(a)a valid passport; and

(b)proof that the applicant is such a family member.

What they mean with a valid passport, is it for me how is EEA national or for my husband how is non-EEA? Anyone have idea what they mean with that?

Nora: BOTH PASSPORTS. As it clearly says on the guidelines here: https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-a-uk-resid ... st-provide

For each person on the application you’ll need to provide:

-a current passport (your husband´s passport)
-2 passport size colour photographs
-one passport size colour photograph of your European Economic Area (EEA) national (or British citizen) sponsor
-your EEA family member’s valid passport or national identity card (your passport)
-evidence of your relationship to your EEA family member - eg marriage certificate, civil partnership certificate, birth certificate, or proof that you’ve lived together for 2 years if you’re unmarried

A) valid passport means - it should not be expired , it should have validity.

B) family member - marriage certificate is right thing to prove that including day to day relationship history such as travelling together, living etcetera.

Did they do surprise visit during application??
If not then we can't say that ur marriage is suspected, I think u and ur husband should provide more details

Nora,
In one of your earlier posts, I thought the Home office made reference to your Islamic marriage certificate. did they not?

Other thing apart from marriage certificate is your passports. Do either of your passports have the spouse name listed in it? You can call attentton to that. If you have children, you can also include thier brith certificates which will substantiate with Father/Mother names.

No, they did not come on a home visit. The only Home office did they called my employer.

We send them both, islamic marriage and the british marriage certificate. My Norwegian-passport was sent to them. We have no children

[tati*]

Did you send your husband's passport?

We send them both, islamic marriage and the british marriage certificate.
My Norwegian-passport was sent to them.
We have no children

Thanks for responce all of you, I'll tell you again our situation so that you do not get confused as I am now. Now I've read the refusal letter 3 times. First I'll tell what is our situation:

My husband had applied for asylum 3 years ago before we were married and he delivered a valid passport to the Home Office at the time. Home office have never sent back his passport . His passport has been invalidated now for 1 year. We got in trouble when we were married in London because wembley registry office demanded passport or confirmation about why my husband could not bring his valid passport. Both my husband and his lawyer contacted the Home office several times by telephone and sent letters to deliver passport back or send a confirmation that they had his passport. My husband complained and sent letters since April 2014. After all complaining the Home Office finally sent a letter to my husband in january 2015 confirming that the passport is held by them. It was ridiculous because in this confirmation letter that they sent they wrote correct information about my husband but passport number was incorrect. We believe that the Home office has lost his passport. We were married in the end February 2015

We send EEA application 04.14.2015, with my passport and my husband submitted letter from the Home Office confirming that his passport is kept by them. During that time, then Home office called my employer sent us a questionnaire, then we'll finally rejected.

Now that I have read the refusal several times then I realize Home office writes first that : you have failed to meet the criteria as set out in regulation 17 (1) (b) of the Immigration (EEA) Regulation 2006

Then they write in another sheet that: you have failed to meet the criteria as set out in regulation 17 (1) (a) of the Immigration (EEA) Regulation 2006.

Now we are confused about what they mean, have we failed regulation 17 a or b

I hope you understand why we are so confused and unable to understand what is happening. It's not our fault that they have kept the passport for so long and we have explained that with the help of our lawyer

hi nora

Hi 10z and tati
No we have not send my husband passport, I have explained above, Please see the last post of me

[10z]

hi nora,
thats the reason for ur refusal,coz in EEA FM cases,they need a valid passport not expired,
so even if they have ur husband,s passport but that is expired now,
ur husband have to get new passport from embassy ,
that why they mentioned 17 (a)and (B)
one is about marriage certificate
and other is for valid passport
so try to get a new passport before u go for a appeal or new application,

[PutiniEEA]

Nora


If u have not send his passport then they will not give ur husband a right to work.


I know some people who Are waiting from 18 months. Strange

Every time they do call to HO, HO SAYS under processing.

Especially, people who have bad history

it is not easy as you think. The embassy must have explanation how it has been for the previous passport and it takes them 4 months to create new because you must have confirmation of all certificates as birth certificates, registry certificate +++ Believe me, we've tried to get in touch with embassy to my husband they are not so helpful. The easiest way is to get the old passport to just renew it. But now we have to go the hard way to get a new passport thanks to Home Office

My husband got COA with right to work, and people bad history is made by Home office. When people send application and send everything of documents and paying money to the Home office because they will live legal in the country. Then comes home office and makes their life with hell of problems, HO is losing their document, they give them refused, they are taking money, they spend more than 6 month ++++ many good people is stuck because of the home office mistakes

Thank you so much

Yes, fortunately we have copies of my husband's passport.
I'm sorry I can not say exactly which country my husband comes from now. But he is from the Middle East and originally I'm from the Middle East as well. I've lived most of my life in Norway therefore I have Norwegian passports. The embassy is worse than the Home Office .

I have bothered all of you readers with my posts and I know its weekend now, enjoy yourselves and enjoy the weekend. Thanks to all of you who have come with answers and advice. I appreciate very much, I hope we will see good news next week, a lot of RC and COA
