EEA family Permit Query

Hi,
My wife is a french Citizen. She is works with a clinic in London since Sept 13. I applied for EEA last week from Kochin, Kerala India and waiting for the result . My wife did not have the residence card at UK. Still now she has not registered with Home office in London. Also I found that her passport was not endorsed by French Embassy in UK. Rest all the needy items was lodged with the Application form viz bank statement,contact details, phone records, Marriage photos, rent recipt, rent agreemnt, Power bill, Skype log, TB certifcate,Marriage certifcate Indian Orginal and french photocopy.

Can any one guide me on the result of my application. This three items viz residence card. registeration with home office and passport endorsement were not included in the list of mandatary documents

As a last resort can any one guide me how to crack the EEA familiy permit in case if my application is refused this time.
it will be very helpful as i am missing my wife and kid.

One last clarifcation, Once I get EEA permit/Residence card of UK can I travel across EU nations with out restrication.

Some body Pls Answer my concerns.

Thanks in Advance for your help

Your wife is an EU citizen. She doesn't need to apply for any permits/residence cards or certificates in the UK. As far as I know she doesn't need to provide a certified copy of her passport, BUT you will need to provide proof of her identity to prove that there is an EU national from whom you can gain the right to enter the UK. Did you provide this, e.g. a copy of her passport/her French identity card etc?

Some other things that you should have include (and perhaps did but forgot to write here) are her pay slips/a letter from her company and/or her contract of employment. You need to prove that she has been exercising treaty rights in the UK as she has been there for more than 3 months and you will not be traveling together with her.

You should receive the result soon; even if it is negative you can apply again. A lot of people start to panic and send hundreds of questions on here. Actually, all the info you require is already available on the internet. Relax and start searching. Google is your friend.

I hope some other more experienced people will come and give you more info.

Hi Chaoclive,
Thanks for that Crisp Reply. I am some what Pacified. As you gussed I missed to add in those list of Docs provided along with the application viz pay slips/a letter from her company and/or her contract of employment. I will keep posted on the visa status.

One final query

Once I get EEA permit/Residence card of UK can I travel across EU nations with out restriction like my wife.

Once again thanks a lot.

Note that the entry permit is only valid for the UK and nowhere else. However, once you get the residence card (apply on form EEA2) you will be able to travel to a lot of countries in Europe without a visa. There is a thread specifically about this here: http://www.immigrationboards.com/europe ... 95372.html

Glad to hear you included those documents. And the passport/ID copy....(hopefully)

You can apply for jobs. The problem is that some employers won't feel comfortable with employing people on a permit which only lasts for 6 months, even though you have the legal right to work.

After you apply for EEA2 (residence card), you will receive a certificate of application (COA). This should state that you are allowed to work. This letter will be very useful in proving that you are allowed to work so I'd advise you to apply for that as soon as you can after entering the UK.

Thanks Chaoclive
As you said earlier I got the EEA permit. And the answers for tje currently posted query really clarifed my doubt.
I will stick to your advice towards residence card.
Once again thanks a Ton
God bless you

Yes, EEA2 is the best option. Remind your spouse to start collecting together her pay slips/contract etc. You will also need to get some proof of your address in the UK asap.

Good luck!

Hi
I'm from Lithuania and my husband from Bangladesh
Now we are planning to moving UK for work and living.

So I want to know some information about EEA family permit.

Is that possible, that my husband can apply for EEA family permit before i go to uk or my husband have to apply when i start living and working in UK. Which one got more chance to get visa.

What kind of document my husband have to provide for his employment?(because I'm not working)
He is self-employed, he have a company in Lithuania and He the director.
He can provide his company registration certificate, company director declaration. For salary and tax he can get declaration letter from his accountant.
I want to know what else he have to provide for employment.

About bank statement, what kind of bank statement he have to provide, bank balance certificate or normal bank statement. If it is normal bank statement then for how many month.
What kind of account it should be, joint account or personal account. How much money he have to show in his account in GBP.

What kind of evidence he have to provide for our marital status? we can provide our marriage certificate. Do we need something else?

Do I have to provide my living declaration from Lithuania?

I hope I will get a reply.

Thank you for your help and support

You don't seem very clear about what an EEA family permit is. If you are the EEA national (Lithuania) it is YOU who needs to be moving to the UK in order to work and live for your spouse to have the right to move.

If you go there you have to be a qualified individual by the end of the first 3 months, i.e. you must have a job/be self-employed/be a student/be self-sufficient (some of these methods have extra requirements, e.g. health insurance). What your husband does now is of no interest to the UK government at all. He has no right to move to the UK except the right that you moving with him with provide him with.

He can apply before you go there OR when you're already there exercising your EU treaty rights. It makes no difference but the documents are different. See here: https://www.gov.uk/family-permit‎. A lot of the info you require can be found by a simple Google search or by viewing the other topics on this website.

Again, if you do not plan to do something in the UK (work/study/rely on your current savings) then he doesn't have the right to go there.

Hi chaoclive
Thanks for your reply
Yes i have plan to work in UK, as a EEA citizen I'm allow to work and live in UK.
I'm very confused, because (in application form or in guide to supporting documents) it's very hard to understand which one is for me and which one is for my husband.
Like (in guide to supporting documents) evidence of your current employment or studies. Is it for me or for my husband?
We planning to travel together so how can i prove that i want to work?
I'm sorry, I don't understand what is exercising EU treaty rights.
What should i write in How long do you intend to stay in the UK?
In Income and Expenditure information
(What is the cost to you personally of your trip in GBP(£)? The total amount of money you have for this trip? The cost of the aeroplane, boat or train tickets. The cost of your accommodation. The cost of your living expenses.) is those question for our combined expense or only for my husband. For example the cost of air ticket, if only for my husband it's £50 but for both £100
I read that I have to give a letter with EEA FP application. But i don't know what should i write, can you please help me
We are planning to travel together so please help me on this basis
Please give me some more information if you can.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I'm an EEA citizen and my spouse is from South Korea, we'd like to ask you some questions about EEA family permit before we apply. In the time of the application we'll both be staying in South Korea, visiting family. I've just recently graduated from college with a bachelors degree and my spouse attained a master's degree after graduating from a university in Scotland, I don't know if it can be advantageous for us or not. I'm currently unemployed and won't be working until we apply, though my spouse will be working in his home country. I know there are quite a several ways to apply self-sufficiency, my question would be: would it be enough to have a higher amount on our GBP account that we have in a EU bank, if in the time of the application we won't have a UK employment contract yet?
Thanks for your help in advance!
