Your marriage certificate, certified copy of your passport , his passport, your work contract and payslips, and an accompanying letter with brief details on your relationship history. You can certify your passport copy at the Irish embassy in London.

How many months payslips do i need to provide? What is the essence of the relationship history and certification of my passport?

The UKVI require a certified copy of your passport, but I suppose if you would be submitting the original passport, then certification may not be necessary, just a way of confirming that the document is genuine. A month payslip would suffice, details of relationship history is not mandatory nor is it part of the requirement, but it may assist the application especially if there is anything unusual about your relationship. A letter explaining your circumstances and intentio is always recommended.

Yes i cannot add more than above, suffice to say your twenty hours of employment will be sufficient provided it is genuine and effective.

I believe the pregnancy will attest to a genuine relationship. Evidence of the pregnancy and a contract of employment from your employer will also help boost his case.

So the following documents are sufficient:
*our passports
* 1month payslips at least
* marriage certificate
*6months bank statements and utility bills
*letter that he is joining me in the Uk
* prove of my pregnancy
*his bank statement and letter from his work place in nigeria.

Please are these documents sufficient enough for a successful application or do ineed to add more.


Please your advise is needed

You have been adviced what documents you would need as part of the application, the mod has also adviced you of the additional proof which may assist the application, which part of the above do you not understand? you have of your own volition added a bit more documents to the ones already listed, which are not necessary.

HI aaosami, note that they are not interested in your husband activity in Nigeria, unless it is an activity which may be considered a threat to the country, which i doubt, so no need for [color=#FF0000]his bank statement and letter from his work place in nigeria.[/color]

Its about finances and employment but it says not to be filled by spouse so i guess it doesnt affect us.

Is it necessary for him to also write cover letter after have written?

No there is no need. Only EEA wrote cover letter in my case and there was no issue. Just make sure you keep your letter simple with the main facts only, our one was full of too many details according to the person who processed it (she was a nice lady though)

My husband is applying from nigeria is the TB test cert required for EEA family permit application?
The online form is quite confusing part 3 asking for family details and travel documents; is he supposed to fill in my travel documents details and my family details OR his travel documents n family details?

The income and expenditure / sponsor section can he put N/A since his finances are not required?

PLEASE HELP

No TB test is required.
No information is required about your husband's finances or his work, either in the past or in the future in the UK.
No information is required about the relationship history, other than a copy of the marriage certificate.
No information is needed about your UK accommodation.
No information is needed about your assets.

You should write a very brief cover letter which says that your husband will be joining you in the UK. Two sentences will do.

Thank you directive. The new online form requests for his earnings, trip, accomodation, living expenses cost and how much he has saved up for the trip under the employment and income section. Im quite confused what he should put there and with the extra scrutiny for nigeria eea application bothers me alot.

What do you reckon i should fill in those area

I would put "Not relevant for spouse of EU citizen" to fields can take typing.
And 0 in numeric fields.

It just means that it's already been processed. It could be positive or negative. I think the only way you'll know is when you get it! Best go to the Embassy ASAP! I know what it feels like to wait...we had this a few months ago!

Hi everyone!

Hope this message finds you well. I am an Italian nation planning traveling to UK with my wife who is non-EU national. So my question is? Do we need to mention in the cover letter the paragraph of "excising treaty EU Rights"? I have not lived in the UK before, so do not have any bank statements or local papers from UK. This would be our first visit to UK? We are a retired couple planning to visit to the UK.


Can anyone please advise what to do!

Regards,
Cravero

Hello

I just wanted some advice before we put our papers in..

I am currently and EU citizen(portuguese) moved to the UK in Dec 2013, and have been working since March 2014. I have been with my Girlfriend( now wife) for 7 years, we are high school sweet hearts,She is a kenyan citizen, moved to UK in Sep 2013 on a student visa to pursue her Masters. Before we got married she wanted to finish her education as she thought it would be hard to complete the same if she was married. She submitted her dissertation on the 4th of september and on 23rd of september we got married. Now her visa expires on 30 Jan 2015, We want to avoid the hassle ( Expense) of her going back and coming back to the UK. We have been living together since May 2014. I will be applying for EEA1 along with her EEA2 application, just have a few doubts
1. Do i need to provide a certain amount of funds?
2. We have loads of pictures since we have been together for 7 years, how many should we include
3. What does she need to provide, besides passport and address proof?
4. Do you think she will not be able to get the EEA2 before her visa runs out?
5. Should we provide a detail letter of our relationship?

These are the documents we will be submitting...if you feel i have left out any do let me know
1. My EU passport and ID
2.Her Passport
3.Both our bank statements (proof of Address)
4. Tenancy Agreement
5. Letter of Confirming employment
6. Wage slips
7. My employment contract
8. Marriage certificate
9. Photos of us maybe around 20?

Thank you in Advance ... hope to get some clarity before handing in the forms
