If the child is not an EU national, and a visa national, you can apply for an EEA family permit.

Proof that you are the parent and proof that either you or spouse are exercising treaty rights in the UK (working, student, self-sufficient) will be required.

Hi guys, In the EEA2 application there are several ways identified to prove that a sponsor is working. My question is whether one of those methods (e.g. letter from the employer OR employment contract OR both) would be enough or is it recommended to wait a month to have the payslip as well? Have ap...

I'm not sure it would be a good idea not to get an EEA family permit, the main reasons being: - The UK Border Agency's policy is that everyone should get one - My spouse cannot make a EEU2 application until I have been exercising treaty rights (>3 months) - The application itself could take months ...

an eu family member can start work on arrival in the UK , straight apply for a national insurence nr . thats it . I think COA is an ID just for confirmation because the passport is at home office . Visa sticker ll be enough for your wife to start work or COA ( confirmation of application )would be ...

What did you get for your £100? You are a little vague on specifics.

It would be a good idea to read through directive 2004/38/ec to understand your rights.

They ought to be identical.

It is a common misunderstanding that if a person is married to a British citizen, they do not need a Schengen visa to enter the Schengen area. The United Kingdom is not part of the Schengen agreement, that is why if you are a British spouse and hold resident permit or indefinite leave to remain you...

@ OP, a visa will be expected if one is a third country national who requires a visa. If one holds a UK residence card (careful, must be issued under terms of directive 2004/38/ec), and travelling to join or accompany EU national, no visa would be required. Applying for a visa would be free and shou...

You may not have been charged, which is nice. However, if there is no freedom of movement element (i.e. accompanying or joining EU national), then normal Schengen rules apply.

A residence card might take up to six months (hopefully quicker). A COA will be issued "immediately", which will specify that the holder can work.

In what context?

You may find that a normal photocopy will do just fine.

As long as you exercise treaty rights (worker, self-sufficient, student), your wife's stay is perfectly legal. I note you have another thread regarding your accommodation. It is best to stick to one thread (appreciating that your questions are different). The entry you attempted to make was under ar...

If wife is exercising treaty rights, you have the right to work right now. The right to work stems from the directive 2004/38/ec.

Yes you can work. Your wife's ID might require to be replaced if it is damaged. A passport or national ID are fine for such applications.

EUsmileWEallsmile: I don't want to complain -- I'm basically pleased with the way we've been treated! Perhaps my expectations were very low after dealing with immigration authorities in the US, India, and the UK. But I think the INIS has been responsive, fair, and decent. And, if they hadn't been, ...

The right to work stems directly from the directive. I acknowledge the practical difficulties one may have demonstrating the right to work without the expected documentation.

How far to you have to travel? How inconvenient is the interview location and time? Thank you @EUsmileWEallsmile for your comment. Its long far from southeast London to Liverpool. From my place to interview place is around 260 miles and time givven for the interview is 12pm. So I think I have to st...

I don't know of one, but it is possible.

In my understanding, by the romanian embassy site, the eea1 is for one to prove he is a lawful resident in the uk. I agree with the romanian embassy that, from their perspective, it makes sense There is no UK requirement for registration, unlike some other EU member states. The embassy ought to be ...

Hi there, My self and my EEA wife applied for EEA1 & EEA2 in Dec 2012. My wife received her Registration certificate in May 2013. But they refused my application on July. I do not have even appeal rights. they kept my passport with them. can any one tell me about that any particular time frame ...

Hi All, I submitted my application on 28th of November 2013 (Visa expired on 29 November 2013). But my fee was not taken by UKBA for unknown reason. when we try to contact home office through letter then they sent back my application on 14th of January 2014 by considering invalid and excused for so...

The items required as per the directive are evidence of what the EU national is doing in the host member state and evidence of family relationship to the non-EU national.

Hi Callum.a, I'm American and my wife is British. I was unable to get even my temporary Stamp 4 until we had the all the proper documentation, including payslips and even a PRTB registration. This meant my wife had to leave a job that refused to provide proper payslips, and we had to move house bec...

I have no experience of interviews. The purpose of it will be to check that the application is genuine. Your application may have been randomly selected, I don't know. I suspect you've been given a generic letter requesting that you bring general evidence that might assist you at the interview. If y...
