Thanks jajanna for the phone number. My husband tried calling this morning, and still, automated service then they hung up on him. But I don't understand, how come he got hung up on, and some other people on this forum managed to talk to someone? What options should we be choosing? Thanks...
Hi all, To add on to Sillycrab's questions, I have read through the forum and everyone seems to be calling a number in Liverpool to inquire about their application- what number are you guys calling? Please please kindly give it to me! Our situation- my husband, a non EEA has applied for an EEA2 perm...
Hi all, Because of the wonderful advice received in this forum, I am now in the UK.. A little background- I am an EU married to a non-EU.. we recently moved from USA, my husband has an EU family permit. Well, we managed to get an apartment, and have been looking for work since our arrival in late Fe...
Anybody??? Pleeeeaase?? Any help will be highly appreciated.... John, I have read a few of your expert advice in previous posts, and I would love if you could help me out. The reason I posted one is because there was no one with a similar situation as mine... ie, getting council tax benefits along w...

Thanks 86ti, as usual. I will read the website through, and probably pause more questions after:) Quick question though, how do I go about applying for jobs without a passport, after I send it to Liverpool? And how long will it take for me to get this letter? What other forms of identification can I...
Hi all, Thro this wonderful forum, my husband was able to get his EEA Family Permit from the states. We finally arrived, but have a myriad questions. So confused! I hope someone can answer us:) We have been looking for work, (I am an EEA citizen), but my husband has had to walk around to employers c...
Thanks 86ti. We will be coming to exercise our treaty rights to work. So we will basically be in the 'looking for work' category. I was wondering what you meant when you said register my unemployment (To qualify as a worker you would have to actively search for jobs, i.e. register your unemployment ...
Johnsienk, obviously you watch a lot of tv and believe it- I just had my daughter via c section about 5.5 months ago, and had to have emergency surgery after that, and was in hospital for about 3 days for that surgery. Guess how much my portion of the hospital bill is- and did I mention I have healt...
Ok so my husband (non EEA) and I (EEA) are planning to move to the UK. He finally got his eea family permit. We plan to look for jobs as soon as we get there. I have a 6 month old daughter born in the states. What do I need to do to register her? How will I be able to get deductions in my taxes for ...
Thank you Obie for your wonderful advice. You replied to my forum and gave me hope after I had despaired and given up hope of my husband coming with me to visit the UK. We received an email saying it has been approved today. I guess the only problem was I did not send a letter with his first applica...
Thanks guys. We re read the rejection letter and all the links you sent me, and deduced the fact that I did not include a letter stating clearly that I will be accompanying my husband into the UK when we visit. That is one of the requirements when applying for a family permit here. So we have decide...
Thank you Obi. This really helps us. Is the problem the fact that we are applying from a third country that is not in the EU? How long does the appeal take generally? And how do I specify that my appeal is to go directly to the Entry Clearance manager, as opposed to the ECO? And does it matter that ...
Thank you Obi for your reply. What should I do now? This is not the first time we are visiting the UK. We have visited UK in the past but only for a week at a time. Should I bother with the appeal? Can they deny him the permit based on the fact that we are both unemployed here in the USA? How do I s...
The consulate has denied our application for my husband's EEA family permit (a non-EEA), to visit the UK because we have not provided sufficient evidence that we will be travelling together. Please advice me on what evidence we need to provide. We will be travelling together, along with our baby. Al...
Thank you for your quick response. Proof of marriage is not a problem at all, we got married in 2003, and have 1 child together... we included the marriage cert with his application.
Hi all, I am an irish citizen, and my husband is non-EU. We currently live in the USA, but both our H1Bs have expired, and we are now looking to move back to Ireland. We are currently unemployed, because we are planning to move to Ireland (via UK for a wedding), and because our permits have expired....
Hi all, I really hope you can help me... Here is my situation: I am an irish citizen, we currently live in the USA. We moved back to the USA in 2008 (my hubby and I), from Ireland (we had been here until 2005, for 2.5 yrs when we moved back to Ireland, but we were not happy there, so moved back to t...
