Similar thing happened to me; my husband's eea fp was refused; he applied from India. Then we applied for schengen visa for holland (that's where my mom lives), which he was granted (In our situation, we were travelling together to holland so it didnt seem like he was trying to settle there, we told...
Yes he can apply for eea2. and no there is no other work permit he can apply for. for required documents, look at the eea2 form which is on the BIA website. basically you need to prove that you are married, so your marriage certificate, maybe a covering letter explaining your relationship, how you m...
if you sent in only eea2 (and not eea1 for your husband together in the same envelope), it should take up to 6 months. The home office is not very fast in these matters.
How about marrying in sweden? Have you checked what you need to do for that? For the UK visa application procedure, it does not matter where you marry. I got married in India and they did not complain about the marriage certificate, even though it looks absolutely absurd and we never even got it leg...
Regarding this situation I'm wondering something; if Punjab sends the HO a letter explaining what happened, plus supporting proof that his Hungarian wife is working now (therefore she is exercising her treaty rights), would that not give him a better chance? As I assume, once the HO processes his ca...
The consultancy lady clearly didn't have a clue what she was talking about. the EEA2 application is SPECIFICALLY for people who are of non-EU nationality. Whereas the EEA1 is for EU citizens only! Get the EEA2 form from the BIA website, read up on all the requirements and questions they ask, make su...
It is a very frustrating and irritating fact that LOADS of people have no clue about the rights of family members of EU citizens. All you can do is fight. Why should you pay NI contributions and not be entitled to NHS services.
you cannot get an eea fp from inside the uk. that is just an entry clearance to allow people inside the country.
apply with the eea1/eea2 forms instead and get a 5 year residence permit.
I dont think applying at the german embassy when you are not actually going to germany will affect any further applications; there are no border check posts so how would anyone know whether or not you actually went there? When applying, don't tell them where you are going, the form itself states tha...
the response you got from solvit seems to be the approach lots of countries are taking in circumstances such as yours. my husband and i applied from outside of the eu for an eea family permit in the uk and they also applied extra regulations. can you not get a refundable ticket reservation, and insu...
technically if you go for the eea family permit for your wife, they should process the application quite quickly. i am not sure about vietnam but for instance in india it takes 3 days.
I have sent my husband's EEA2 application together with my EEA1 application to the liverpool address beginning of march. last week we received both our confirmation letters that our cases are being considered. So i guess it would be fine to just send both applications together in one envelope to the...
the people working for GPs don't really know what rights you have. They just look at their rules which state "visa for more than 6 months" and complain about it. You should either try and convince them of your rights (and you DO have the right to treatment under the NHS!) or find another d...
Thanks for the advice... :) In addition to time concerns, the following post spooked me: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=23397&highlight=eea2+eea1 Even the EEA1 was refused in that case.. Considering we have received a very strange refusal in the past (EEA FP), I don't trust our...
Hi everyone! Maybe some people remember, in October I posted regarding a refusal for my husband's EEA FP. What happened afterwards was, we got a tourist visa for the Netherlands (sponsored by my mother who lives there), and then just crossed the Channel from Calais without applying for the EEA FP ag...
Glad you got your visa! Enjoy the trip. Can you please post the exact words that Signpost used for saying that the visa must be paid for since it was not applied for within the EU. Sorry for the delay in replying, we have been quite busy travelling in the meanwhile... below you find the question an...
We got our visa after arguing a bit about the visa fee... the application was submitted at the VFS office and the next day we had an "interview" which was nothing more than a lady checking our documents and asking for a few clarifications; took at the most 5 minutes.. (offtopic: its funny ...
Hi, thanks for all your replies! Indeed the british high commission considered our application under paragraph 281, they clearly stated that in the refusal letter they sent us. Just out of curiosity, should such a letter be signed/stamped or at least on a letterhead from the british high commission?...
Hi, Today I rang up the dutch embassy in delhi, india, to find out about the documents required for a schengen visa applications for my husband. he is indian, i am german, so he comes in the category "family member of eu/eea national" (we're planning to travel together). however, the (dutc...
yeah were considering appealing but from what I could find, it will take 3 months for the appeal to be heard and therefore we were wondering if we can just apply again touching upon those issues they mentioned in the cover letter which we will include, giving some extra clarifications and documents ...
Hi everybody, My husband has just gotten back a refusal for his application for an EEA family permit from the british high commission in Delhi (india). in advance sorry for the huge post, but both of us are totally freaked out now and dont know what to do. A short overview of our situation : I am a ...
