EEA(QP) + spouse: lawyers needed?
Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2018 9:48 am
Hi!
My wife is a German national and I am Canadian. I currently have a 6-month EEA FP and we're both living in the UK.
We were advised to apply for the Registration Certificate for her / EEA Residence Card via https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/eea-qp before the 6-months are up.
I went through the online form and it seems shockingly very simple and that I do not need a lawyer (XXXXXX is offering to review the documentation for a discounted fee through my spouse's work). Am I missing something or is it this easy?
In my head:
- Apply online
- Do the European passport return service (pre-booked before submitting the application)
- Send a bunch of documents (photos proving our mariage, phone bills, council taxes, etc)
- Wait
- Get BRP ?
Am I missing something or is it a (shockingly) relatively easy, DIY process?
