We both arrived in UK on 22nd October 2013, from Dunkirk. Her is Non - EEA citizen from China. I am UK citizen. We therefore used the Surinder Singh, route, where my wife applied fro EEA-FP in Paris, which was granted, hence, whey we are both in UK now. So all documents passports, etc, sent off tod...

Only your EU nationals employment in the host country (state), as in your case Ireland, matters for EEA-FP. When the EEA-FP is granted, you should both travel to UK together, this makes it much easier, than if your planning to meet them here in UK. Once in UK, the EU national can work, or not work, ...

Hi all, I guess that previously where the UKBA website said "It makes no difference if the only reason the EEA citizen etc,,,etc,,,etc,,," to the opposite end of the spectrum, where the EEA citizen is now expected (unlawfully) to relinquish his abode in his home state, ie, to sell his UK home, and b...

I am a UK citizen with non-EEA family, using the Surinder Singh route to bring my family back into the UK, having worked in Holland. I'm currently in Holland, filling out an application form for a UK Family Permit using a UKBA on-line application form: https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/AppProcess/s_Ap...

Hi all, We arrived in UK using the SS route. I (the UK citizen) worked and we both lived in Germany for 3 months. Her (non-EEA) applied for a EEA-FP from Paris, (WorldBridge) and was granted. The following week we were on a ferry, and in UK. no problems. A few days, well about a week, after arriving...

Why are you applying for an EEA Family Permit? I thought you and your wife were already in the UK? No, we're still in the Netherlands. I was hanging on to get Dutch residence cards, but after the disappointment on Friday (not recognising our marriage certificate) I thought I might as well take the ...

Update: EEA family permit granted for my wife. Applied at VFS in Cebu( Philippines) last October 24th and the passport came back today. We only submitted the following documents: -Her passport ( non EEA national) -My passport ( EEA national) -Mariage certificate -Lettter from the EEA national I hon...

@graham: Yes, I now know that. It's the excessive 175 euro (for two people) courier fee I'm trying to avoid. On calling WorldBridge they made it sound unavoidable, but it sounds like I can just take it to Croydon myself. Does anyone know if I can and if I can collect it myself too? . . I thought yo...

Another question. I have completed the form, checked the details, and now I get this: "Your Visa requirements have shown that as part of your Visa application you must also book an appointment to submit your biometric data. The available appointment location(s) according to your Visa requirements a...

Hi Jambo, and Scorpio,

I guess we will just cough up the £55.

It's not the end of the world, considering.

My non-eea wife got her national insurance number within about 10 working days. Had to send off various copies of her EEA-FP visa, and her passport details page, and her other UK visitor visas. It looks like we shall be applying for her residence card using the EEA2 application form. We just don't f...

@ nanny hi nanny thanks for your reply i really appreciate that can you please answer my one simple question that how many questions they ask from 1 person... thanks for ur reply.. . . @ khokhar1, I would expect they will ask a minimum of 12 questions. I think that will be the lowest they ask. Depe...

Hi all, After a successful EEA-FP being issued in Paris, we are now in UK. I the husband, is UK British passport holder. My wife is Chinese. We used SS route. As I see it, and please correct me, the application for residence card, using the UKBA EEA2 form, simply confirms residence. And as the UKBA ...

[/quote] Have you rung the jobcentre about applying for a NI for your wife? I rang the day my husband arrived in the UK, and they sent us a form. We sent it back with a photocopy of his passport an his EEA Family permit and they sent us back a NI number. Nothing else required. You need the CoA to sh...

Thanks Jambo,


They (UKBA) don't make the forms easy to understand.
But any way, I begin to understand the points now.

I can see the form is intended for the "non-UK" persons coming to UK to exercise their treaty rights here, just like I did in Germany.

Hi euroguys, Thanks for the info. The "6 months" was given to us verbally, which I knew was total bull crap. This is why it was never written down on the refusals. So back to the EEA2 thing. . . . . When I read the EEA2 guidance it becomes as clear as mud ! (not surprising) It reads, 1/ WHO CAN APPL...

Hi all, My wife (Chinese so non-EEA) was grated UK Entry Clearance by way of Surinder Singh application for EEU-FP in Paris. So now we are both in UK. :) She has a pretty visa sticker in her passport which reads as thus, PARIS MULTI Valid from 18/10/13 Valid until 18/04/14 VAP No. ****** VISA EEA FP...

Hi, We were in Germany for just over 3 months, registered and then unregistered from the town hall when we left for our trip to Dunkirk. I worked for 12 weeks. We rented an apartment together.. I worked for 12 weeks, and I got 1 week holiday. Then when we arrived Dunkirk and asked fro the A1 stamp, ...
