EEA2: Photo copy of Passport: Documents

Hi Guys,

I have filled EEA2 and arranged all of my documents to be sent. I just want to double check two things before I send. My wife has European passport with Greek Cypriot nationality. She has been in UK since 2001. She studied in UK until 2005. Then she went back to Cyprus in mid of 2006.
In May 2007 she came back and in October 2007 we did our court marriage. Since then she has been working on and off on contract basis.
To best of my understanding to be able to apply residence card for EU national’s spouse, EU national should be practicing EU treaty which means this person should fall in one of following category,
Student: which she not any more.
Employed: on and off
Self employed or self sufficient: I support her financially.
I am in full time permanent employment for almost one yeah and have been employed on contract before that as well. So what did I have filled the employment section with my detail and got it stamped by my employer.
Because my wife was without employment for good 3-4 months and had been looking for some work, until she found another contract based work last week.
So here is the list of my document that I am going to send to support my application
• My passport
• My wife’s Passport
• Form EEA2 filled with my employment detail
• My last three months salary slip
• My last three months bank statement
• A self addressed special delivery envelop.
Question is,

Shall I send any document about my wife’s work such as salary slip which she would have only for one week and bank statement that would only have very limited fund as I support her financially,
All suggestions are highly appreciated. It’s really unfortunate that they made the process too slow and complicated.
Once again many thanks to all of you.

Most importantly, don't forget to include your marriage certificate! No, you do not need to include your wife's employment details. As it stands you are the sponsor and your wife will fall under self-sufficiency (one of the treaty rights).

Hi there many thanks for prompt and kind advise
It’s right that I am the sponsor but what I read that it EU member is neither employed or student you need to have full heath and sickness insurance.
Everyone’s advise very much appreciated

Hi there, thanks for you reply earlier.

I am sending my EEA2 form this week,
I am just wondering if you can help me with following questions.

1. In section 1 it ask when you last entered UK. I have been living in UK since September 2004, but I go on holidays every year. I went for three weeks holidays in April2008. So what date has to be entered in this field? Since I first entered UK or last time I came into country from holiday.


Best Regards

Tyro
