A civil partner is not subject to regulation 12 (2)(3). They will qualify under regulation 12 (1) if they can demonstrate that they are in a lawfully conducted civil partnership and that the partnership is not one of convenience. Bring it on!! We are a genuine couple 1000000% :P They can interview ...

Thus my original question on whether the CP would prove this?

He will need a valid ID to succeed.

He has a valid passport ,would that suffice?

Yes, a CP would solve that issue! If you're married or in a CP that would mean that you don't have to show cohabitation. Obviously, it depends on when they're going to do it. Did your partner get any form of residence card in Greece? Or is he just there on a tourist visa at present? Hey,thanks for ...

Hey everyone.So here is an update that I believe is worth mentioning.Last week the new government here (Greece) has announced that it will introduce civil partnerships for gay couples.Do you think it would be a wise decision to refrain from doing the durable relationship application until after we c...

Thank you Obie

I was doing some research on the appeals procedure just in case.Do you or anyone else know if we get full right of appeal?I think in some cases they dont even give you the right to appeal.

YOU CAN'T DO IT UNDER YOUR NAME - he is the applicant, you are the sponsor . Don't make this mistake. You, being an EEA national, will NOT be issued with an EEAFP. Yep,I wouldnt have done it under my name if I was not allowed to.I just thought that obie meant that I could do this.For some reason I ...

How about you make an application for an EEA family permit for your partner, you detail your personal circumstance, which the UK are required to give extensive examination to, and see what they say or how it goes. He may well be successful , if not, further advice can be obtained as to the steps to...

Thank you very much!!

I will pm you soon

I can only wish the best of luck to you! Marrying in an EU country may be a good idea -- see what the lawyer has to say. My situation was much less extreme than yours (however much of a straggler the US may be, it's not risky for gay people to live together). But when I applied, my partner and I ha...

That it us a structured one, not withstanding the lack of cohabitation. Can you clarify ''structured''? My understanding is that as long as they can identify in the interview that we have common long-term goals and the genuine persisting nature of the relationship we should not have any problems.At...

Hi everyone So my situation is a bit complicated.I am an EU national in a long term relationship with another man .My partner is a non EU national and is now based in my home country.The problem is that because my country is a socially backward shithole (excuse my French :lol: ) that is heavily infl...
