Fill in Section 3 of EEA1 and section 4 of EEA2 and that should be enough. Section6/7 is needed only when you are not working and are "truly" self-sufficient... like Bill Gates or K-Fed (rich spouse)
No! No! Forget entirely about Section 6 and 7 of EEA1 and EEA2 respectively. It was only suggested as an ALTERNATIVE if you were to use your wife's emplyment rather than yours. Just wanted to let you know that you are eligible on both counts- as a worker and as a self-sufficient Swiss national. If y...
What you would need is a EEA family permit issued by the French Embassy in Australia. A quick glance at their web page did not yeild any information. However to get an idea about the rights that you can have in France as a partner in a durable relationship with an EEA national (British), have a look...
Congrats on your decision to postpone till June and send in a more solid application. When I say solid what I mean is proof of co-habitation, 3 month's payslips and the bank statements and nothing else other than necessary documents like the Passports and Marriage Certificate. Any other documents se...
Damian, I am back. So, where do we start? Lets start with your employment status. Since I have no idea about what work you do, what is the basis of pay for your work, who pays your NI contributions etc, I will not be able to judge entirely for myself whether you are employed or self-employed. Pls ha...
Alisa.. from wonderland, there is a bit of technicality involved in your case. A lot of it comes down to how adamant you are about initiating your divorce proceedings right now after the 1.5 years of marriage, in which case you will lose the ability to continue to use the Residence Card as you no lo...
Unmarried partners in a durable relationship with an EEA national are not considered as family members but as 'extended family members' according to EU regulations.
Damian, Its not necessary that you have to submit an EEA1 form to strengthen your EEA2 application. But there has been an instance in this board that applying for both EEA1 and EEA2 at the same time has fastened up the EEA2 application.
Damian, So, essentially as long as I send off the application before end of June (perhaps end of May?), then she is allowed to stay in the UK until her application has been considered? Hmm....that does make me stress a bit less! I take it that you havent really been following this board and that you...
Firstly, if your wife's EEA Family Permit will expire only in the end of June then you dont have to apply for the Residence Card with the EEA2 until then. It does not matter when your application gets processed, but what matters is when you post your application and as long as it is send to the HO o...
There is no requirement that you have to be living together with your EEA family member at the end of the 5 year residence card for getting your Permanent Residence. Infact its not even necessary to be still married after 3 years of marriage as you can still retain your right of residence as seen in...
Making an EEA application solely based on a PACS from the French Consulate is not a guaranteed path to successful application as you can clearly see that the HO does not see them as being valid. With that being the case, chances are that your case will be decided on the basis of the strength of your...
Since you say that you have a residence card, I am assuming that you have taken the EEA route and hence will have to wait for 5 years for your Permanent Residence.. provided that you show proof that your EEA family member has been exercising treaty rights during that time. That is a grand total of 6...
It really doesnt matter whose employer fills up the section 4 of the EEA2. If your employer fills up the form, then you will be exercising your treaty rights as a worker while if your wife's employer were to fill it, your treaty rights will be on the basis of self-sufficiency. Just make sure that yo...
Exactly what I thought would have happened. Which also means the suggestion to the original poster that they can register their CP in the French Consulate and still pull off an EEA application would be misleading to any other reader. Since erasmus plans on getting the PACS done in Paris anyway, it s...
The instructions on page 11 clearly state that any marriage that take place in a foreign embassy in UK will be refused as the couple will not be considered legally married.
Sorry to be blunt, but sending the EEA forms in March (assuming you send it this Thursday) with the HO having the right to take a full 6 months to decide the applications while booking the holidays for April doesnt exactly seem to me to be entirely HO's mistake/fault. Calling the HO is indeed not ve...
I dont think it is possible to obtain the EEA family permit before you leave for your holiday as they are usually issued by the BHCs abroad only. Also I am not so sure that its necessary to show proof of residence for obtaining a EEA family permit which can be confirmed by checking the website of th...
Just having the letter that the Home office is processing your EEA2 application is not enough. Applicants who requests passports to travel while their application is being processed are usually asked to obtain a EEA FAMILY PERMIT to enter again, if the original visa in which they first entered has e...
