EEA unmarried partner visa Requirement

[alikhan1234]

hi dear sirs/madams
i am living with my Romanian partner since 18 months. i am a Pakistani national and came to uk on student visa. i had given my notice of marriage last year but i did attend. i sent my FLRO application to the Home office and stated that i am seperated from my partner for a few weeks. the home office sent me refusal with a right of appeal and said your relationship is not genuine. but the home office has one mistake that your partner is not EU citizen but she are EU Romanian Citizen. i have sent my appeal to the tribunal and now waiting for the court hearing in 28 August 2014.

i have a few questions in my mind.
1) Can i cancel my appeal can i apply for the unmarried route my two years duration will be fulfilled in July 2014 but my appeal in August

2) what solid documents are required for the durable relationship proof?
( As i have Joint Bank statement joints bill and joint Tenancy agreements)

3)Is 2 years are exact duration or home office will give some months concession?

4)Can i send my partner European Card and birth certificate color Photo copies to the home office along with application?

5) will color photo copied be accepted by home office coz my partner she have lost original ID?

6) How long will be the Visa Duration?

7)which application shall i use for unmarried partner route if i apply through EEA rules?

8)will my european partner need to show any fund, employment, as she is unemployed at the moment?

9) can i use my brother financial support in this case if he give me support?

1) Can i cancel my appeal can i apply for the unmarried route my two years duration will be fulfilled in July 2014 but my appeal in August

FLRO application for what. That's under UK immigration route. You should send EEA application. Are you married ? You saying you separated from your partner. I am really confused. Anyway if you want send as a unmarried partner i would say wait 2 years.

2) what solid documents are required for the durable relationship proof?
( As i have Joint Bank statement joints bill and joint Tenancy agreements)

YES that's fine

3)Is 2 years are exact duration or home office will give some months concession?

They do give but highly recommend minimum 2 yrs

4)Can i send my partner European Card and birth certificate color Photo copies to the home office along with application?

Yes you can but need to be original not photocopy

5) will color photo copied be accepted by home office coz my partner she have lost original ID?

No : They will just refuse your application i believe ( i am not sure ). what about her passport?

6) How long will be the Visa Duration?

normally 5 years

7)which application shall i use for unmarried partner route if i apply through EEA rules?

EEA2

8)will my european partner need to show any fund, employment, as she is unemployed at the moment?

Is she registered as job seeker ? How long she is living in the UK and working? when she stopped working ? You can now only apply if she is a Job seeker ( but there are some restriction ) or Self sufficient ( enough funds available to support you / her and evidence of health insurance )

9) can i use my brother financial support in this case if he give me support?

What is your brother immigration status? Legal income will be accepted by UKBA if you applying as a family member of a self sufficient EU national

Hi dear sirs/madams
Thanks for your quick response. i am still a little bit confuse.
i know i should send my application through EEA route. i am not married. i sent my case to the home office that time we were just living together. The reason why i sent my FLRO application coz my visa was getting expiring in last year October 2013 that's why i sent FLRO..

the questions which are still arising in my mind....
1) my partner she have lost her ID and passport but she have color scan copy of identity card and Birth certificate....
can i send her color photocopy to the home office to show them just her identity with my EEA2 application
i heard from someone that i can send but i m not sure i need your advise please in this matter?????

2) my partner she is on jobseeker allowances she just got national insurance number. she never work before in this country. and she dont have any employment history in UK.
will home office accept her as a job seeker allowances.

3) my 2 years duration will be fulfilled in july 2014 but my court hearing is in August 2014
shall i apply as a unmarried in july 2014 or i should wait till august and should go for hearing???

4) you said visa duration will be 5 years but i heard the unmarried visa is for 2 years am i right?

5) how long is the unmarried partner visa process?

UKBA EEA2 application says " you must send Your EEA national family member’s current passport or ID Card. If they do not have a pass- port or ID card, you must provide another form of identity "

This another form of identify. I don't think it's for you. it's for someone who is at risk " asylum seeker" and they can't produce an ID
Because this your first application or her first application ( EEA1 ) to the Home Office you need an official ID like Passport or National ID

2) my partner she is on jobseeker allowances she just got national insurance number. she never work before in this country. and she dont have any employment history in UK.
will home office accept her as a job seeker allowances.

EEA jobseekers will then only be able to claim JSA for 6 months. After 6 months, only those who have compelling evidence that they have a genuine chance of finding work will be able to continue claiming. So if your application takes longer then 6 months UKBA may refuse / want to more what is she doing here in the UK


3) my 2 years duration will be fulfilled in july 2014 but my court hearing is in August 2014
shall i apply as a unmarried in july 2014 or i should wait till august and should go for hearing???

You can still apply as unmarried partner

4) you said visa duration will be 5 years but i heard the unmarried visa is for 2 years am i right?

Immigration Rules for unmarried partners, that is they require an applicant to demonstrate that they have been living together with their EEA partner in a relationship akin to marriage that has lasted for at least 2 years. Resident card is normally 5 years and it will be like a sticker in your passport

5) how long is the unmarried partner visa process?[/quote]

It can take average 4 + months. Sometimes longer then 6 months

8..how much chances of success in my case according to my situations.??

Thanks to All members in advance

[askmeplz82]

You are putting yourself in very complex situation. You don't send FLRO you need to send EEA application under european route

If you been refused before why was it refused ?
are you married to that EU lady still or just living together as unmarried partner ? You need to tell us more your immigration history

If you send application under european route and then after it been refused you apply under UK immigration route by marring a british girl uKBA may suspect it's a sham marriage. You've more right and protection under EEA law then UK immigration law.



1.. my British partner she is on income and housing benefits support, will she need to show the 18600 pounds requirement or not.

The minimum income requirement does not apply if the UK-based sponsor is in receipt of Disability Living Allowance, Severe Disablement Allowance, Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit, Personal Independence Payment, Attendance Allowance, or Carer’s Allowance . I believe UK national is not one of them so YES she need


2.. if she need to show the fund the how many months salary slips should be shown to the home office if she leave the income support ??

If the applicant is in the UK (ie both spouse members are in the UK), then both of their income can count. However, the applicant is also required to be with the same employer for more than 6 months or meets the salary requirement with different employers for the past 12 months.



3..my one friend was in same situation and he told me that just show 6 months wages slips to the home office am i write??

read Q2 answer


4..if she want to work and show fund to the home office will she need to work full time or part time?

depend on income . Are you legally working in the UK then both ( your/her ) income can count


5..my passport in a home office can i do marriage in a court ?

Normally NO. registry won't allow it but you may be successful with driving licence ( may be / may be not ). ASK THEM


6..how long is the FLRM processing time?

8..how much chances of success in my case according to my situations.??

No one can tell you until we know your full immigration history

[Wanderer]

I'm getting the words 'marriage of convenience' and I'm sure the UKBA will be thinking the same. I'd worry more about how you might counter that.

Don't need to cancel hearing

I do not think so . UKBA won't accept photocopy ID for the 1st application. Why can't she apply for new ID or Passport from her consulate in the UK ?

I am struggling to work out whether this is actually a serious post or not.

hi dear sir/madam
i really appreciate and thanks to all members for quick and brief reply.

i have one question about the unmarried partner visa require documents..

we have all tenancy agreements, joint statements and joints bills on our names but when we start living together that time we dont have any joint letters she have some letter from acqua credit card agency but i have my phone bill for that period.
we start living together in june 2012 and we dont have any joint bills or letters on our name till February 2013 like 9 months but we have separate bills and letter on our names.

my question is
1..will the home office accept single letters on our names or they need bill and letter on joint names.

2.. what is the strong points for the unmarried partner visa where we can satisfy the home office for the successful application.

Many Many Thanks in advance

There is no right or wrong answer here. If it's 24 months or more then better but UKBA previously accepted even 15 months and on the other hand rejected 4 years

It's all up to you how you convince UKBA caseworker that your relationship is genuine.

16 hours on her part should be enough. There have been some people who have received an RC when their spouse worked for 12 hours. Of course, if you are so worried about this, why not try to find a job with more hours?

Also, your activity is irrelevant to the EEA2 application. The HO only focuses on the EEA national's activities, as they are the one from whom rights are derived.

Another thing: it seems quite comment that applicants who are unmarried partners will receive a short COA which says something like: "we're not able to confirm your right to work at present". You might want to consider how you will deal with that if your employer is asking for proof of your right to work. I don't know how to deal with it. Please search on the forum. I'm sure there are many good comments about this.
