Thank you so much for your replies! I had completely overlooked the SS route! For some reason, I thought it was specific to immigrating to England as so many posts/articles are written with that in mind. Yes, I initially had reservations about applying for the FP/EEA2 in England as the PACS is not e...
Hello everyone, I'm American and I live with my French partner in the UK. I have the 5 year EEA2 which still has several years of validity. If we were to move back to France, would I be able to apply for the EEA family permit in France as I did in the UK, or is this not allowed because he is French ...
FYI for those searching for the same: in the end, we went with the Aviva policy - one of the cheapest options. Never used it and had no problems. We've since switched from self sufficient to working and dropped the policy. RC received April 5th.
In the end I notified HO of the change in situation and sent in my partner's contract. I had no response but I did receive my RC within the 6 month timeframe. My timeline: Applied : October 15th Payment deducted : October 22nd Requested passport back for travel: October 29th COA + biometric enrollme...
As I received my RC, I'm updating my posts with my timeline just in case others search and encounter the same issues that I had. My timeline: Applied : October 15th Payment deducted : October 22nd Requested passport back for travel: October 29th COA + biometric enrollment letter : without right to w...
Update - just to help out others in the same situation: I've received an updated COA with right to work. 1[/i] Hello I saw your case and it is exactly like mine.... I am a non-EU (brazilian national) and unmarried partner with an EU citizen (german). I had a previous right to work in Ireland where ...
Update - just to help out others in the same situation: I've received an updated COA with right to work. I inititally emailed as advised in October describing the issue but did not receive a response. Two weeks ago (so 4 months after receiving my original problematic COA) I decided to send the same...
Thank you for your reply! It's quite confusing because I've called the immigration helpline twice today and I've received two different responses. The first person I spoke with said that I should sent an update (cover letter, contract, new employer info) and when I asked if I was obligated to do so,...
Hi all, I'm American and arrived with a family permit (unmarried partner of a European citizen) in October and applied for the RC by mid October (and he applied for QP status at the same time). We applied as self-sufficient as he kept his job in France while working remotely from the UK. The new dev...
I did send an email today. I can't imagine what was missing from my file so I'm hoping to at least have some answers. I'll post back when/if I get a response.
I know...that's what I was expecting and I'm surprised and worried by this development. I'm confused about whether something was missing (I have no idea what) or if this is routine for extended family members/unmarried partners. The Q&A page included with my COA made it seem like if you're an EFM/UP...
I'm an unmarried partner of a European. We've recently settled in the UK. I entered with a FP that expires in March. We filed the paperwork for EEA QP + EEA 2 within two weeks of entry. I requested my passport back a few days after being charged as I will need to travel in the next month. Today, abo...
Having just moved to the UK with a private tenancy contract and all utilities/council tax in the landlord's name...opening a bank account was not easy and it was difficult to get a straight answer from the banks themselves. So I just wanted to add my experience for those with the same issue. I read ...
I'm preparing my documents for my EEA2 EFM application. To prove that my partner and I have lived together over two years we are submitting electricity and water bills, bank statements, pay slips, shared insurance statements, and my previous visas. However, apart from the pay slips the rest will be ...
It appears that Aviva doesn't have this requirement. If anyone knows other providers who don't I would be greatly appreciative if you would share. I've contacted WPA to ask about exceptions.
I apologize if this question has been asked before...I tried searching but couldn't find it. I'm American, my partner is French. I have a FP and will be applying for EEA2 shortly after arriving. My question concerns CSI which we'll need as my EEA partner will be applying as self sufficient. I've bee...
My French partner and I (US) are moving in two weeks. I have a FP good until March. My goal is to apply ASAP after arriving for my RC as I intend to look for work and imagine in might be tough with just a FP. Does my self sufficient partner have to have a NIN so that we can fill out the EEA2 app (as...
From where I am sitting there is nothing confusing. The situation is very simple. If he work in France and lives in the UK, and move from UK to France to work every day, or return to the UK at least once a week following work, then he is a frontier worker. If he stay in the UK and works in France, ...
Understood. So you need to establish if an EEA national working or, rather, operating on that basis can be considered as a qualified person ; ie either as a worker or self-sufficient person. They may also be a frontier worker (under Regulation 6) if they continue to reside in home country but 'work...
What timelines are you thinking of here - is this temporary of for the long haul? As an alternative you could shoot for a family permit (instead), see: https://www.gov.uk/family-permit/eligibility It gives you 6 months in UK (multiple entry/exit); note that the first 3 months of activities by EEA n...
I'm American, my unmarried partner is French working for French company. He will be sent to UK to work and do research on opening a branch there. Someone on this forum kindly suggested that we could apply for the EEA1&2 as self sufficient as he's not working in the UK, but will obviously continue to...
Thank you for your insight! I had no idea that his working for his French company would qualify him as self sufficient. Would we then just submit the contract and pay slips as we would normally to prove working status?
