You can apply even on the day that you enter UK but you need to have payslips of the EEA sponsor (of proof of self sufficiency and CSI) and you need to have some bills on your name to show that you are living with the EEA sponsor.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
And do you have any idea for what period of time I must represent bills? A month or more?

Hi everyone!

Today, finally I've got my FP.
Would like to share my story:
I applied 20.06.2017 Madrid/Spain ( It was my second application, the first one was refused)
Not straightforward email 07.07.2017
My first complain to UK Visas and Immigration 19.09.2017 (got any result in really, was told that my application was not straightforward but they were working on it)
My second complain 10.01.2018 . I got an email 19.01.2018 there I was informed decision was made and soon I would received further news .
Indeed I received it on the same day , two hours earlier:-))) And today, I have got my passaport with FP.

I wish you good luck to all!!!
In case you have any questions ...please ask I would be happy to answer and perhaps help!
Congrats on your FP!
When you say you complained - did you call or email them or somehow else? What phone/email did you use to complain?
We're in the same situation in Madrid...

Payslips: 3 months.
Bills: just recent ones that show your name and your spouse's name (or together). Home Office's guidelines say that they want at least 6 bills from 3 different sources with both of your names. We attached 1 electricity and gas bill (my wife's name), 1 internet bill (my name), 1 water bill (both names), bank letters (one on my name, one on my wife's name and our joint account's letter). I also attached Tesco online grocery receipts and tenancy agreement on both names.

Thank you very much ! So there isn’t need to show bills for the last 3 months, enough only for the last month? With payslips all clear. My unique concern is the period of bills...

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my situation with you because I think it is “HILARIOUS” and you should understand how disrespectfully the UK visa autorities are treating people.

I am a Non-EU national living in Spain legally for more than 7 years. My Spanish husband and I have been married for almost 4 years (got married in my country but also ratified the marriage in Spain). Before the marriage we were registered as civil partners in Spain for 3 years more. (In summary we have been living together for 7 years in Spain) I hold a permanent residence card for Spain as a family member of a Spanish citizen.
Last October we were thinking about moving to the UK to make a change in our lives, so I applied for FP visa in Madrid visa office in October 2017. I provided all the necessary documents like marriage certificate in multilingual international format issued by Spanish authorities, Spanish family book, address registration from the city hall confirming that we are living together, civil partnership certificate, joint bank account certificates, former FM visa, etc. More importantly the Spanish residence card of a family member of an EU citizen.
I was informed that on these days the UK was taking this process very slowly (it wasn’t a real problem for us because both of us were already working in good jobs in Spain) but I never thought that I would receive a refusal to my application. I was already issued a FP 4-5 years ago when we were just civil partners, not married.
After four months of waiting, last Friday I finally received the answer to my application and I was shocked because it was a refusal. When I read the reasons they provided, first I didn’t even understand it and after started to laugh. Here they are:

-As proof of your relationship to your EEA national sponsor you have provided a Spanish
marriage certificate. However, this document details that the it was issued on
09/10/2017, nearly 3 years after your wedding day: 21/06/2014. Due to the length of
time between the wedding ceremony and the date of issue, this certificate cannot be
accepted as reliable evidence of your relationship to your EEA national sponsor.
(WHAT???? I don’t know the other countries but in Spain the marriage certificates are issued by the date you ask for it and they are valid for 3 months. A marriage certificate issued 3-4 years ago wouldn’t be valid because you might have divorced later. Plus, the certificate format was an international one that are agreed by many countries including Spain and the UK)

- It is also noted that your marriage certificate states that you and your sponsor got
married in xxx (my country of origin). This leads me to believe that the document submitted
isn’t your original marriage certificate. You must provide your original marriage
certificate which was issued and registered around the time of the ceremony.
Furthermore, you have not provided any photographs of your wedding to prove that the
ceremony took place. (Photos????? Really???)

- You have also provided a Spanish family book and letters from Barcelona Council
stating that you and your sponsor are stable partners. However, these documents are
deemed insufficient in proving your relationship to your EEA national sponsor.
Furthermore, you have provided no other documents to satisfy me that the relationship
is genuine, subsisting and is not one of convenience. There are no photographs of you
together at any time, no evidence of cohabitation or anything else to evidence the
relationship between you. (I did provide address registration from the city hall confirming that we are living together, joint bank account certificates, and SPANISH RESIDENCE CARD OF A FAMILY MEMBER OF AN EU CITIZEN! What else ???? Really photos??? Obviously we have hunders of photos taken together but they can not refuse my application because I just didn't submitted photos.)

-I therefore am not satisfied that you have a genuine relationship with an EEA national
and that you are genuinely an EEA partner in accordance with regulation 7 of the
Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006.
I therefore refuse your EEA Family Permit application because I am not satisfied that
you meet all of the requirements of regulation 7 (see ECGs EUN2.23)of the Immigration
(European Economic Area) Regulations 2016


This is like a joke. Obviously, they refused my application because they wanted so. They are capable to refuse any application based on anything. You have only 2 eyes and 2 hands but the minimum acceptance limit for us is 3…
I don’t know if I am going to appeal. I don’t really need to move to the UK and probably by the end of 2018 I will become a Spanish citizen (no visa need for Spanish). If I appeal, I will do it because of the disrespect and the ignorance they show. I don’t want them win. I want to give them more paperwork to deal with....

Good luck to everyone…

Hi everyone!


I have been reading this thread for a few months now and it has given us a lot of support during the whole the waiting process.

I would just like to let you all know that my partner has received his EEA family permit today! He'll fly to the UK in about ten days. The timeline looks like this:

Biometrics in Rabat, Morocco: 15/09/2017
Not straightforward e-mail: 02/10/2017
First escalation through e-mail: 18/10/2017 -> Haven't heard anything
Second escalation through e-mail: 14/11/2017 -> Haven't heard anything
Third escalation through telephone: 31/01/2018 -> Received an e-mail that they cannot give a timeline since application is not straightforward.
Visa approved: 02/02/2018
Received e-mail that decision has been made: 12/02/2018
Collected passport with visa: 13/02/2018

In total, I estimate this has taken around 100 working days.

During the process I have contacted the local MP (labour party, but could not help us) and Solvit (took a very long time). During the third escalation on the phone I made a very strong point that they are violating EU regulations (must have worked, the decision was made soon after).

I wish everyone here the best. I know how stressful the process can be. No matter how long it will take for all of you, in retrospect it will be worth it!


Thank you for all of your (subconscious) support.

Hi,

Thank you very much ! So there isn’t need to show bills for the last 3 months, enough only for the last month? With payslips all clear. My unique concern is the period of bills...
Bills just are needed to show that you are living together, so why you should provide 3 months of bills?

Hi, i just want to ask what documents you showed when you arrived? My sis in law just got refused after 4 months of waiting. We submitted every papers and still its not enoigh proof that she is a family member of an eu. we applied in madrid. We're getting so stressed because her kids is already in here and my brother(eu) is having difficulty on taking care of them. So if using an article 10 will help them reunite asap will be so nice.

Hello Merit, if your husband has the family member resident card,( communitario) yes he can travel with you.but you need to hold proof of where you will stay and proof of your financial state.and your marriage certificate, libro del familiar, pictures....just hold everything you have. Proof that you are financially stable that you can take care of your needs or someone else will be responsible for your financial needs.All the best Merzit.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my situation with you because I think it is “HILARIOUS” and you should understand how disrespectfully the UK visa autorities are treating people.

I am a Non-EU national living in Spain legally for more than 7 years. My Spanish husband and I have been married for almost 4 years (got married in my country but also ratified the marriage in Spain). Before the marriage we were registered as civil partners in Spain for 3 years more. (In summary we have been living together for 7 years in Spain) I hold a permanent residence card for Spain as a family member of a Spanish citizen.
Last October we were thinking about moving to the UK to make a change in our lives, so I applied for FP visa in Madrid visa office in October 2017. I provided all the necessary documents like marriage certificate in multilingual international format issued by Spanish authorities, Spanish family book, address registration from the city hall confirming that we are living together, civil partnership certificate, joint bank account certificates, former FM visa, etc. More importantly the Spanish residence card of a family member of an EU citizen.
I was informed that on these days the UK was taking this process very slowly (it wasn’t a real problem for us because both of us were already working in good jobs in Spain) but I never thought that I would receive a refusal to my application. I was already issued a FP 4-5 years ago when we were just civil partners, not married.
After four months of waiting, last Friday I finally received the answer to my application and I was shocked because it was a refusal. When I read the reasons they provided, first I didn’t even understand it and after started to laugh. Here they are:

-As proof of your relationship to your EEA national sponsor you have provided a Spanish
marriage certificate. However, this document details that the it was issued on
09/10/2017, nearly 3 years after your wedding day: 21/06/2014. Due to the length of
time between the wedding ceremony and the date of issue, this certificate cannot be
accepted as reliable evidence of your relationship to your EEA national sponsor.
(WHAT???? I don’t know the other countries but in Spain the marriage certificates are issued by the date you ask for it and they are valid for 3 months. A marriage certificate issued 3-4 years ago wouldn’t be valid because you might have divorced later. Plus, the certificate format was an international one that are agreed by many countries including Spain and the UK)

- It is also noted that your marriage certificate states that you and your sponsor got
married in xxx (my country of origin). This leads me to believe that the document submitted
isn’t your original marriage certificate. You must provide your original marriage
certificate which was issued and registered around the time of the ceremony.
Furthermore, you have not provided any photographs of your wedding to prove that the
ceremony took place. (Photos????? Really???)

- You have also provided a Spanish family book and letters from Barcelona Council
stating that you and your sponsor are stable partners. However, these documents are
deemed insufficient in proving your relationship to your EEA national sponsor.
Furthermore, you have provided no other documents to satisfy me that the relationship
is genuine, subsisting and is not one of convenience. There are no photographs of you
together at any time, no evidence of cohabitation or anything else to evidence the
relationship between you. (I did provide address registration from the city hall confirming that we are living together, joint bank account certificates, and SPANISH RESIDENCE CARD OF A FAMILY MEMBER OF AN EU CITIZEN! What else ???? Really photos??? Obviously we have hunders of photos taken together but they can not refuse my application because I just didn't submitted photos.)

-I therefore am not satisfied that you have a genuine relationship with an EEA national
and that you are genuinely an EEA partner in accordance with regulation 7 of the
Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006.
I therefore refuse your EEA Family Permit application because I am not satisfied that
you meet all of the requirements of regulation 7 (see ECGs EUN2.23)of the Immigration
(European Economic Area) Regulations 2016


This is like a joke. Obviously, they refused my application because they wanted so. They are capable to refuse any application based on anything. You have only 2 eyes and 2 hands but the minimum acceptance limit for us is 3…
I don’t know if I am going to appeal. I don’t really need to move to the UK and probably by the end of 2018 I will become a Spanish citizen (no visa need for Spanish). If I appeal, I will do it because of the disrespect and the ignorance they show. I don’t want them win. I want to give them more paperwork to deal with....

Good luck to everyone…
All the guidelines, all the people who applied successfully, everyone suggests to attach pictures: you didn’t and now you are complaining blaming them?
Hey Dan, I think that was unnecessary and hash on the poor guy that just got her visa refused without any legal justification.
After all the months of wait, how would she have the Spanish card if she's not an EU family member?
I'm actually Spanish and my wife a non EU citizen just got her visa last week, mind you we didn't submit any photos, cos she went with the original and the same they only collect copies, so she got her visa without photos.
Thing is the embassy guys give and refuse as it pleases them, they just tired of we EU citizens.
