EEA Family member Settlement Clarification

imaner · Post by **imaner** » Fri Aug 23, 2019 1:19 am

Hi All,
Here is my story:
Married to my polish wife in Cyprus in 2013. she moved to the UK in July 2014 and following that, I joined her three months later in October and got 5-year EEA Family member sticker visa in my passport. Since then, we have been living together continuously and have got two kids born in the UK. My wife applied for EU Settlement Scheme few month ago and she is now settled.

Here is my questions:

1. As my visa expires on 11 October 2019, am I be able to apply for EEA Settlement Scheme? If yes, do I have to apply a month before or sharp the day after 11th which is 12 October 2019?

2. Since I've got sticker visa and I am non-EU citizen, apparently I can't apply through the Android App. Can I use postal service?

3. Do I have to show proof of employment or it doesn't apply to me? in other words, do I have to show my income or I am exempt from it?

3. does if have any fees and I use a premium service to get my visa ASAP?

Your help is already appreciated

After your 5 years is finished, you’re eligible to apply for Permanent Residence and then citizenship. I think you still have time to do that.

Answers:

1. 28 days before your RC expires you can apply. I confirmed it yesterday with EU resolution team.

2. You need to apply online through web not through app. App is for EU national. As you are NON EU so u need to apply online.

3. After entering your details the system will tell u what to upload. Is it "residence documents" or "relationship documents".
There is no hard and fast rule relating to employments. They need to see your relationship proof like marriage certificate and residence proof. Which can be done through 5 P60's if u didnt work then annual bank statement or 60 bank statements of 5 years to show you were residing in UK and was living together with your EU national.

4. There is no fee for EU settlement and there is no premium service as well.

And if they have any doubts about any document then they will request you to send it otherwise everything will be done online. Scan all the documents properly on scanner.

Good luck.
