Hi HamzaCork, I put my London address in as that's where I live, and because my application was reliant on living with my unmarried partner. As yours is a direct family member application I'm not sure if living together is a requisite - I would just put her actual address in Pakistan, but someone on...
Hi HamzaCork, I got the visa approved in Dubai. I made the application online, booked the appointment for the 13th and flew into the country on the 11th. At the border I got the entrance stamp (I'm Australian so i get 30 days visa-free). The only objection they had was that they were unaware of the ...
Hello, Do non English documents that are being submitted as part of an EEA Family Permit application need to be translated by a professional translator, or can they be done by ourselves? Secondly, does the whole document need to be translated? For example, we are planning to show a tenancy agreement...
Thanks for the info, it's really helpful. I have to speak to my employer this week and figure out the best way forward. A few more questions as I start to pull an application together... 1. If my application is refuses and I have no other valid visa at the time, how long do I have to leave the count...
Hello, If you apply for an EEA2 residence card and your COA cannot confirm the right to work - can you do volunteer work or unpaid work, or are you literally meant to sit there and do nothing for 3-6 months? I can't seem to find any official information on this. Also, how long does it typically take...
If I apply directly for the EEA2 RC then I will have to resign from my job. Why? Your YMS visa doesn't expire until the end of July. Because my application will still be processing after my YMS visa expires, and the COA i receive will not confirm my right to work as I am applying as an unmarried pa...
Hi Noajthan, Thanks for the reply. My current employer is aware and is willing to take the Family Permit as evidence of the right to work. As for Dubai, I was under the impression from Vinny several posts above that it is possible to apply from anywhere (one does not have to be a resident, just lega...
Hi, The logic (which the immigration advisor also suggested) is that the EEA Family Permit, although unnecessary, will give me the right to work for that 6 month period, which I can then apply for the EEA2 and retain that right to work as I have already been confirmed as an extended family member. I...
Hi Noajthan and Rotor, Thanks very much for your replies! First of all, I've spoken to my landlord who has agreed to be flexible with the situation, so that's one massive worry put to rest :) Secondly, my work has hired an immigration legal consultant to help with my application for the EEA permit, ...
Hi all, I am an Australian national (currently on YMS visa) living in London with my partner who is an Italian national.We have been renting an apartment together (joint lease) for 20 months, and before that we spent 2 months traveling together and 2 months I was staying with her family in Italy. We...
The most pressing question for me that I can't seem to find an answer to is whether I am even eligible for th EEA Family Permit at all - as I currently hold a valid visa (Tier 5) and live in the UK already. If I apply for the Family Permit, will they just tell me I've applied for the wrong visa and ...
The UKVI responded to me today with the following regarding applying in another country: You can apply for a standard visit, EEA or Tier 5 sportsperson or entertainer visa in any country in which UK Visas and Immigration accept visa applications. If you wish to apply for other PBS visas or a settlem...
Thanks for the reply. I am living with my girlfriend, we have been renting an apartment together for 20 months, and before that we spent 2 months traveling together and 2 months I was staying with her family in Italy. Apart from that, I know it seems that the EEA2 visa seems the logical choice, but ...
Hello, I'm an Australian on a Tier 5 YMS visa, expiring late July 2016, currently living and working in the UK. My partner of 2 years is an Italian citizen exercising her treaty rights in the UK. I want to apply for the EEA2 visa to stay in the UK with her, but I read that it takes 3-6 months to be ...
