Hi Flyboy, it says family member of Swiss National.

Thanks John. I must say I was surprised to get it so quickly. I phoned them last week to ask if it had been processed yet as there is an overseas wedding we want to attend, and they said to put the request in writing with proof (wedding invite) which I was all set to do, but ended up receiving it to...

UPDATE: I got my residence card today! So it only ended up taking about 2 months.

Thanks Dillonm, it's good to hear from someone who's just gone through the same process. I posted off the EEA1 and EEA2 applications together in mid December, and we're still waiting to hear back. My application is huge, I wrote an application letter and divided it into sections with different evide...

It also seems that it will help my application for a residence card (EEA2) if my partner completes an applicati...

Thanks for replying. My partner and I came from Australia together and have both been resident in the UK since March 05. No plans for children in the UK. We've been told that Swiss citzenship is really time consuming and hard to get, so no plans to go down that route! We will get married, but not be...

Firstly, thanks for all the useful info on this site. I've had a search and couldn't find the answer to my specific question. I am an Australian citizen currently in the UK with a current 2 year working holiday Visa (expires in March 07). My partner of 7 years is a Swiss National, we're not married....
