Hi all, I am a EU citizen (Poland), and my partner is applying for EEA2. I have to travel to the USA soon after submitting the application, and therefore have obtained an emergency passport as there wouldn't be enough time to request it back. Which passport should I use for each purpose? Should/can...

This is not correct. The EEA2 application is for residence cards, and must be applied in country. What OP requires is an EEA Family Permit (https://www.gov.uk/family-permit).

Thanks for information above, We have been married for 5 years now. First my wife got a residence permit visa in June 2009 and now she wants to apply for PR card after 5 years. I have my own PR card which was gained in Nov 2011 and I've recently become a British. Such being the case, do I have to p...

Well, I guess you need to contact the airline and get them to confirm they would accept such documentation for boarding.

Hi, My wife will apply EEA 4 to get PR card after 5 years. The question is I am EU citizen and I recently became British and I send my EU passport to Home Office for UK Passport, and we do not know whether my wife needs to prove my 5 year residency for EU Family member ( I am already became a Briti...

You're welcome, Andrew.

The process is a bit cumbersome, but once you know what to do is actually pretty simple. As long as you make sure you have everything that is asked for, the process is pretty smooth.

Cheers and good luck.

Hi Hubba, What you've described sounds like happy days indeed! I'll have to get there on step at a time, over several months. But it looks like there's a good path! One potential hurdle: I'm guessing that after about a month, or so, I may need to travel internationally for work. So, I can hopefully...

Thank you for the reply. We have another original marriage certificate. What else would we need to prove? It could be that where we return from the airline won't know what family of EEA member is? Is it possible to go Ireland and then come to the UK? I've read people entering without a visa but are...

Hi Summary.. We sent our EEA2 application (via surrinder singh) on the 18th of March. We received a COA with no right to work and have emailed to get it rectified but still no luck after 2 months! We are planning to travel soon so we requested our passports back and received them today with a lette...

Thank you, Hubba. Your point about setting up a joint account is a good one. I don't think that my wife can claim self-suffiency upon our arrival (unless I deposit ~$35,000+ to her account in the next few days), but should be able to evidence it by setting up a joint account in the UK once I start ...

Yes, they can, with the same rights of the EEA national.

My wife is a Polish (EEA/EU) citizen. She moved to the US 20 years ago and is a resident (Green Card holder). Should it be relevant, her father and brother moved to the UK about 10 years ago, and are now UK residents. I am a US citizen, born and raised. We live in New York, where were married nine ...

I'd ball park the dates. Don't you have emails with your flight dates, hotel bookings, etc? These are actually more precise for tracking time spent outside the country than your passports, where sometimes you can barely read the stamps.

Here is my timeline:- Date Applied:- 09-01-2014 Interview Held:- 23-05-2014 RC Refused:- 29-05-2014 Reason:- They asked us 48 questions In total, 47 questions we gave correct answers. The only reason for their refusal is to the wrong answer to the question "Where you bought wedding rings from&...

Hi, I hold Greek and British (naturalization) passports. I've lived outside the EU for the last 3 years. Would my wife (Argentinian) be eligible to apply under EEA regulations? Or EU/UK national has to rise within the EU to enjoy this rights? Many thanks! Kostas For Surinder Singh route, you would ...

Hi Turiya, My apologies if I caused any distress. Sometimes it is easy to forget when answering queries on this forum that most people who comes here for help are already knocking their heads out whilst trying to find out the best solution for their problems.

it seems that the issue is on going for a while now looking at the date of the original post !

No problem, mate. I didn't know about the previous thread until I've gone through her post history.

was your husband in UK prior to you moving over here in 2008 or did you both move in the same time? @Hubba not 100% sure but if he is employed by UK based company and pays his tax to the UK authorities, then he is considered to be exercising treaty rights in UK. the case is a bit tricky, so let us ...

Hi there, I've been looking at the posts and can seem to find the answer to this one. Here is our situation: 1. Married in July 2008 in Vancouver, Canada. I am Canadian born and my husband is Spanish 2. Came to the UK in November 2008, applied for the EEA2. Approved within a year of applying. 3. EE...

If she and her family are not covered by CSI, I'd recommend you to get CSI for your family and apply for another EEA2.
