And err...they don't lose documents right? I'm worried they may lose our civil partnership certificate or something...we didn't have a stapler or anything so...I don't want them thinking we didn't care about the application since we didn't have a stapler...and I figured that they wouldn't sell those...

EEA2 sent off

Welp we finally sent off the EEA2 application. Due to the confusion with the two offices (Liverpool and Croydon) we decided to only send out EEA2. We sent notarized copies of the passports because we realized we would be unable to withdraw money from our bank, get jobs or even a new apartment withou...

So I'm sending out our joint EEA1 and EEA2...but after reading this I'm a bit confused. Which office should I send our applications? We're posting notarized copies of our passports until they ask for the actual thing. Aside from that, the only documents I need are the civil partnership document, wor...

So for that page I just leave it blank? I thought I had to fill in all the parts of the application, and is that one payslip with 12 pounds on it really valid?

Is there anyway I can send out this blasted EEA2 form without having the employer sign and confirm (we have the payslip anyway) because the stupid manager keeps delaying it and it almost feels like we're getting the runaround here. It's been three weeks and we've been asking for the stupid thing to ...

Thanks so much for the advice <3 I was worried since my partner only got six hours work this week they would reject on that basis...and it's all eating into my savings.

Thanks for that info ^^ Really put me at ease a bit. I'm supposed to be working for GameStop but they REFUSE to hire me until I show "proof" of the ability to work in the UK. They do not accept my civil partnership papers as proof, they demanded a national insurance number. Hence why I've ...

Is there an hour/pay wage requirement for this? Say if they were only getting 10-15 hours a week at minimum would they reject an application for that?

So they were rejecting EEA applications based on residency in another state? Or are you talking about the EEA Family Permit in that regard?

So they're really not going to give me any problems if I just send in the notarized copies of the passports? We're now going to be getting bank statements instead of payslips (due to direct deposit) I assume sending those statements also work as payslips? Then there's the whole problem now with EEA1...

Another day, another problem that seems to be trying to make me delay my EEA2 application even further. We got the payslip now, but due to my partner not clocking in correctly...it shows she only made 12 pounds rather than her actual amount (she only clocked in correctly on her first day of training...

One more question. If I am staying in Belfast, am I able to still take the train down to Dublin even if I turn in my passport to the Home Office for the EEA2? Do they check passports on trains like that?

Well I went with my civil partner to get the forms filled out under employment (the head manager said to go today) and we were brushed off saying we NOW have to wait until August 1st for it to be filled out. Apparently they had never seen an EEA2 or EEA1 before and were confused by it..... I'm scare...

Well as far as other forms of ID, I also have my California driver's license with me, as well as a bank notarized copy of my passport. Would those two suffice for when I send in my passport?

EEA family permits and EEA2

Hey I posted awhile ago here...I came to the UK with my irish civil partner without the EEA family permit (we drove from south ireland to the north, theres no passport check or anything O_o) I'm a US citizen. Are they going to give me a hard time about this when I apply for the EEA2? I had been told...

Ok...it's not on the passport...it might be on the info from the credit union...hopefully they accept that. She never paid any utilities in the south either.

Wow thank you for that information! I'm not sure if she has proof of her address though...hmm I'm assuming it's on her passport. We get the utility bill right around the same time she gets her first payslip so that works out anyway. Was just concerned on how strict they are about these things, obvio...

problem is it's a pain to get a bank account here...we haven't gotten a utility bill yet so they're refusing to give us an account (we have to wait until the end of the month to get our first bill). The other problem is half our money is in her credit union account in the south. She has a receipt sl...

You can start working if you already have a EEA FP altho it takes a bit of convincing the employer. I already stated that I was advised by multiple solicitors to just come into Northern ireland since they claim the Dublin consulate would have most likely refused me... So while I'm legally here beca...
