EEA FAMILY PERMIT !!HELP!!

Hi everyone, I really need some help!

I am Sophie, for the past 8 years I have lived and worked in Spain. I am ENGLISH. I have been with my ECUADORIAN un married partner for the past 7 years, we have two children who were born in Spain but I got them
British nationality. I moved back to England in January with my two children. On the 30th of April I flew back to Spain to go with my partner to TSL CONTACT CENTRE IN MADRID, for his biometric appointment for our EEA family permit / Surinder sign.
Documents we provided:
Proof of cohabitation.
A letter from our children’s nursery in Spain
Children’s birth certificates
“Libro de familia”
My partners wage slips
My employment history in Spain
My wageslips from the uk
45 family photos
My and our children’s British
Bank statements

My partner received an email saying that his application is at a DMC. And my mother received a phone call asking a few questions.
Today is 14 days since we submitted his biometrics and we are very very nervous.

Will having two British children help his application?


I look forward to hearing about other people’s experiences.

Thank you!!

I am not sure if Surinder Singh applies for unmarried partners. It clearly states on eligibility "spouse (husband or wife) or civil partner".
Did you get any advice before applying?

Yes it does apply. The regulations has been amended to include extended family members.
