There's a chance that it could still arrive this week my wife and I are both ...

Good morning, I sent my application in on Wednesday and found out they received it this morning. I have asked them to return the following documents: 2 passports, marriage certificate, and marriage certificate translation. Has anyone had any trouble with asking for the return of the translation of t...

Found the home office phone number and gave them a ring. Didn't realise there was a number. 0300 123 2253. For those that may wonder the same thing, the woman from the home office said that the unofficial certificate (or momento as I referred to it) was acceptable for the application as long as it's...

Any one have any advice for this question?

Hi all, I'm hoping there is someone on this board that has applied for a residence from marrying a Swede and has some advice. I recently married a Swede. Apparently when you marry a Swede in Sweden (which we did), you receive no official marriage certificate. You receive a certificate but it has no ...

Ok thanks for your help. I copied and posted the same post into the last thread. Please post if you have some advice to give!

Good morning everyone, I will be applying for RC through my EEA spouse. She is a full time student but she works part time as well. I was advised to apply stating that she is an employee rather than student as the process is easier. She works for 2 companies (both event staffing in London) and the c...

Thanks for the reply. Here is my tentative plan: I'm currently living in the UK on a student visa which is valid until February 2015.

Hi, So I'm reading on the EEA FP application website (https://www.gov.uk/family-permit) and it says that if I'm married to an EU citizen I can stay longer than 6 months. Does this mean I can get a longer EEA FP or does it mean I have to apply through EEA2 to stay longer? As of now, we plan to stay i...

Hi, If I arrive in the UK stating I'm an eea family member and receive a 6 months stamp, I'm I allowed to travel in and out of the UK as I please during this period? What if I apply for eea2 after I've entered the country with stamp. Then ask for my passport back since I haven't received my RC. Do I...

Also, is 15 hours a week the minimum? Does she have to earn a certain wage? For how long before we apply must she...

My EEA wife and I currently live in the UK. I've noticed some people have been applying for EEA1 and 2 permits simultaneousl...

Thanks, for the help. I noticed that exercising treaty rights as a student, she must provide evidence of private comprehensive sickness insurance and evidence of funds available.
