Hi,

do you think that the cover letter below would work for an application to the EEA Family Permit?

To whom it may concern,

My name is xxxxx and I am an Italian citizen who has lived and worked in the UK for and a half years and my husband, xxxxx, is a US citizen who has been living in the US for years and worked there for 12 years.

I would respectfully request that my husband be granted an EEA Family permit based on my treaty rights as an EEA national, for which I am submitting the following supporting documents:

• A certified copy of my Passport
• My husband’s US Passport
• Our Marriage Certificate
• A passport photo for my husband
• The receipt for my husband’s biometrics
I have also submitted an additional copy of each item above.

Please contact me should you need any additional details at XXXX.X.XXXXX@xxx.com to get the quickest response. Also feel free to call me on 000-000-0000.

Thank you for your assistance with this matter.



Martina

It's nice but unnecessary.

The fact that he's worked in the US for 12 years is completely irrelevant.

And they will never email you asking for additional information - they will write to you.

You have drafted the letter as if you are making an application.

"I am submitting my husband's passport and photos".

You are not submitting anything. Your husband is making an application and he will be submitting whatever needs submitting.

Also, if these are the only documents you are providing, then it will be a straight refusal.

Where is the proof of you exercising treaty rights in UK? Wage slips? Bank statements? etc etc.
