Which Questions are to answered on EEA FP Application form

On the application form for the EEA FP there is a question regarding prior deportations and/or removals from any countries:

My question is what is a previous extradition defined as?

Does it require mentioning?

Also am I right to think that the only documents that need submitting are the eea passport the non-eea passport & the marriage certificate?

What about the Non-Eea's previous cancelled passport?

It is mentioned in the guidance notes that it should be submitted, but is this essential when applying for the EEA FP?

Also has anyone heard of an EEA FP being granted when the Non-Eea spouse has NOT yet received the host member state residence card?

(eg: they only have the EU equivalent to the 'Certificate of approval' )

It looks as if you have lots of reasons to believe that an EEA FP application will be rejected. Without knowing these reasons don't expect that anybody can give you helpful advice here.

However, in general I can say that wilfully providing false information or withholding relevant information on immigration forms is a very bad idea.

I think I am Unnessecarily worried about it being rejected, absolutely.

Only issue is is a single 7 year old conviction which I doubt is a reasonable definition of a threat to public security, but immigration officers break the law all the time, so hence the apprehension on my part.

Secondly I certainly don't intend on concealing or fabricating any information whatsoever, I simply would like to know does a previous extradition need declaring where the form has the question relating to previous removals or deportations, as technically an extradition is a totally different matter.

Any advice?

Yes, a single conviction is generally not a sufficient reason for rejection but you need to disclose it.

So the story is something like: you committed a crime in country A, then went to country B, were arrested there and extradited to country A, where you then were convicted of this crime, which is now seven years ago. Is the UK either country A or B?

I would suggest that you answer yes on the question about removal or deportation, and then just refer to the conviction story for the details.

Regarding your last question: as I understand you are now in another EU member state and have applied for (but not yet received) a Residence Card there. That is immaterial for the EEA FP application.

Have you been using your British or Irish passport while in the Netherlands?
Have you previously resided in the UK on the basis of your Irish citizenship, using that passport for example when opening bank accounts or working?

In any case, you do not need to provide any information about how much money you or your non-EU husband have. You also do not need to provide any information about what he is doing in NL.

His criminal background is important to document, and be honest about, but it is in most cases not likely to have an impact on a generic family member's entry or residence in the UK.
