There is no need (and in most cases no point) in adding a cover letter to the application. What on top of the application form have you to add?

Personally, I like the idea of a covering letter as it gives the applicant the opportunity to organise their application as they see fit rather than being a slave to the form. It can be particularly helpful if there is something out of the ordinary (whatever that may be).

You don't need to write a covering letter if you don't want to. It's down to personal preference.

Is there anything particularly unusual about your case that the form does not cater for?

well after an advice from a solictor ...says cover letter helps support your application and gets more info to the immigraton officer making him clear to make a decision...
well i've all that is needed to support my application.
!)marriage certificate
2)my passport and a valid visa
3)my wife eu id and passport
4)her last 6 months pay slips
5)her last 6 months bank statement
6)our pictures together
7)letter from the landlord stating we reside at the same address last 1 year.
8)letter from her employes stating her full time employment since last 2 years.
9)some utility bills

my only concern is her sponsorship letter and a cover letter which i dnt know how to build it up..just a bit confused as to what should i state in the letter.

hey also if there's any thing more that you would like to add plzz do let me know;;;forE;G if i'm missing some documents etc..

I don't know your circumstances and why you are concerned that the Home Office might suspect that your relationship is not genuine.

In your case, all you require is:

1. Your passport
2. Your marriage certificate.
3. Your wife's registration certificate or if she does not have one, evidence that she would be entitled to one and this is satisfied in the case of a worker by (a) her passport or ID card and (b) a letter of engagement from her employer.

There is no need for a sponsorship letter.
Normally a marriage certificate is enough but that depends on your circumstances (if you are an Asian with a student visa which about to get expired who married an East European last week, I would incline to provide more evidence that the relationship is genuine).

hey first of all i would like to thank you for taking interest and replying to my queries out of your precious time..


what more evidence in your are refering to..?? would be helpfull if you could guide me as to what can more i provide to prove soo...
actually i have a concern as im on a student visa which which expires on june 2013..but recently after my summer break they discovered that my college is not on tier-4 list...on contacting the college they do not relpy..but say that their case is in the court to get back to the list...i have'nt officialy recieved any letter from ukba about my visa status..my last visa was issued on the same address..so i can assure that i hav'nt recieve any such letter from ukba...hence, that's what makes me a bit worried..and was thinking if i should include that in my cover letter or not...as imy marriage is 100% genuine and i just got married 3 days ago...

In your case, it would be worth setting out a little history of your relationship, where you met perhaps, how long you've known each other, etc. I note that you've lived together for a reasonable period of time.

Your application is likely to go under extra scrutiny as you fit the profile of marriage of convenience.

I suggest you provide evidence to show that you are in a relationship (joint bank account statements, joint trip abroad, photos with family, photos from your wedding with friends and family etc) and that you are not just flat mates who got married last week to sort out your immigration issues.

hi there again...sorry to bother as i'm a very confused and a bit nervous soul at the moment really...

just need help with two question on the eea2 form on section 6...
1)Number of hours worked each week?(as my wife has no fixed hours sometimes she works 50 hours and sometimes 45 a week...but its always between the two)
2)salary wages recieved each month(again the same, depends on the hours she worked..not a fixed salary really..)

As i'm giving a her payslip from this month..should i state hours and salary stated on it?or what should i actually state on the two above?

my second query is...as we got married last week,and as i recieved ukba letter stating my limited permission to stay coz of my college licence revoked..makes any difference to my application as i have enough evidence to prove that this has not been MOC..

Also is the form eea2 version 7/2012 the right and the latest one i'm filling and applying now?

plzz advice on it...thanx.

You are not even required to use the form when applying for a Residence Card.

I would just submit the pay slip. You can even leave those questions blank about how much you earn and how many hours you work. Not relevant.

Follow the advice given and leave those fields blank if you don't want to fill them in.

If you read the second paragraph on the front page of the EEA2 application form, you will find out yourself whether this application form is mandatory or not.

Writing a covering letter is really a good idea in which you can mention about your application briefly. As far as Section 6 is concerned its all about EEA national employment and if your EEA partner has variable number of working hours then you can write in this section the average hours and average wages. And also there will be no harm you mention little about that in covering letter.

Note: "Average hours/Average wages means the hours/wages most usually be worked for"

No you are not correct. You do NOT need to use the form. Feel free to if you want, but you can also provide the actually required information as part of a letter if you wish.

Check with the place you mailed it. Do NOT let them keep the receipt.

Note that it might be that they have delivered it but have somehow lost the records. At least the optimistic side of me says that.
