EEA family member visa questions!
Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2014 2:31 pm
Hello everyone,
I've read lot of information and emailed with British visa authorities but still not sure that get all information. So asking for your help.
I'm Belarusian national married to Lithuanian and having Lithuanian residency permit. We are living in Lithuania, but I spend a lot of time in Belarus as well, because I have business in my native country. Also my wife has a child from first marriage (Lithuanian citizen).
At present moment my wife doesn't have a job. And we are thinking about 2 options moving to England:
1. She will go first, find a job and I'll come to her and will look for a job;
2. We will go together, as job-seekers.
Here are the questions:
1. If we go together we don't have any status (employed, job-seeker etc) in England at present time, is it ok? As I read people provided their CV's and references to visa centers to show that they have qualification and can find job. Or better if my spouse will come before me? If she has to go first, how much time she should spend in England before I can apply or it doesn't matter (there was information about some 3 month period in forums, but there is nothing about this 3 months in any other place)?
2. Should we provide proof of address? We are planning to stay at friends for first time, before we find anything. There is no such info in document's list, but there is a question in Application Form, even the number of rooms!
3. Are the any financial requirements for us: salary, amount on bank account, etc?
3. When we go to UK, can my wife leave it for, e.g. 2 days to go to Lithuania and take child (we would like to take her few month later, after all school questions will be closed), and I'll stay for this days in England, or should I leave UK together with my wife for that period?
Thanks in advance
