We sent our EEA1 & 2 forms early Janurary, and yesterday we got a letter from the H.O. asking for original documents. Initially, we had sent a mixture of the two ie. photocopies and originals, but to save time, just send all the originals with your application. I've just sent off the originals, ...

Hi
Can one apply for a job whilst waiting for EEA2 approval?

Thanks

In the process of application.
Applcations take 2 years!
Also, I was not eligible, as the first 6 years were as a student, which are not counted in ireland.

sorry typo in above message.

I meant "english"

P.S. Thanks for the Bristol site pointer John. Maybe there'll be hope for us!

John, Thanks for post. I applied for a student visa first, because I was not aware I could apply for an UPV when we first arrived into the UK. I understand that it should not be a problem applying for UPV once we are living in the country, and as we have travel plans up to the new year, I shall appl...

Cheers. Thanks for the advice guys. My uni regulations state that I must be living in the EU for the last 3 years and have rights to remain in UK. I have been living in Ireland for the last 12 years, but I'll get back to you guys when I get more info. Would sure make a different in fees though Overs...

If we decide to apply through the EEA route, does my partner need to fill out an EEA1 form in addition to the EEA2 form for myself?

Hi John I was looking up this website and am concerned whther we can still apply via the FLR(M) route. http://www.uklgig.org.uk/Already%20in%20UK.htm "Non-EEA partners of EEA citizens are not able to use the same-day service unless the EEA citizen is settled (i.e. has indefinite leave to remain...

Yes
We also have evidence since coming to the UK that we have been living together

How good is your proof that the two of you have lived together for at least the last two years? If that evidence is good then probably no need for an adviser. Most of our documentation are Irish, but come from eg. bank statements, bills from previous homes and official mortgage letters from banks. ...

Sorry, last few questions..

1) Would you suggest using an immigration advisor?
2) OISC or solicitor?

Thanks

Thank you for all the advice!

We'll apply at the PEO!
Fingers crossed all will go well

We were both working in Ireland...

Thanks for the replies In reference to the FLR(M) form, does this have any particular benefits over the EEA2 application with regards to 1) the need of a work permit 2) the length of the application process 3) as my partner and I have moved to the UK since the end of May 2006, can we still apply thr...

Hi I've been in Ireland since 1994, but graduated in 2000 and have been working since.
