Hello,

My wife applied in Istanbul for eea family permit. Previous one expired in April. I am eea citizen working in the UK, payslips and HMRC document for tax paid, provided to them.

In application centre they told her that since I am in UK and she s not planning to live beside me but visit me only to apply for normal visa. My wife denied and they hardly accepted the eea fp application. She ll live with me here but she ll move in october, its not their job to learn this.

Can they deny a eea family permit for any reason, if before they gave already one?

Behaviours of application centre personeel made us worried :/

And last question: Can she travel by train to UK with me with her expired FP?
I suppose they wont let her get on any plane alone. So she can travel to Paris and travel with me?? (she has valid 2 year Schengen visa)...

any ideas?

Have you ever heard second family permit to be denied?

It could if I was not working....

Your wife's application should just be accepted. It is likely that she is dealing with one of the UK's visa partners. They have been known to make mistakes and to give people the wrong information.

Yes giorgosa, they can deny FP for any reason as they please...
but of course it does not mean that your wife will be denied.
