Hi guys, My non EU husband’s passport and EU1 are expiring at the end of January. He applied for a new passport before Xmas but was told by the embassy there will be a delay of 3 months before he receives a new one due to covid. He has applied for EU3 as he will have 5 years residency in March. We w...

Thank you for your reply AAP1977

Hi, My husband's EU1 is expiring in January and he is about to apply for EU3. His passport is also expiring in January and it will take 2 months to get a new one due to long processing times in his home country. Can he apply for EU3 using his not yet but nearly expired passport or does he need to wa...

thanks flipper77. I tried on another computer and it worked! So here's an update: Last Tuesday (26th) I sent another request for our documents using the ROD form and on Friday I received an email from UKBA telling me that our documents had been dispatched on Monday 25th. We received our documents ye...

Ok so I located the Return of Documents form on the UKBA website but it won't open! This is so stressful!!

Thanks for the replies. We sent the email to LiverpoolEuro.PassportReturns@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. Is that the right address? Also what is an ROD and where can we find it?

Hi everyone, I thought we would share our timeline for RC application and request some advice in the process! My son and I are EEA nationals and we have made an application for my nonEEA husband based on me exercising treaty rights through me being employed here in the UK. Our timeline to date is as...

Thanks for the info Sheraz7. Does it need to be a certified translation? Can anyone recommend a company to do the translation?

I believe the marriage certificate and child birth certificate should be more than sufficient for proving relationship and eea partner treaty rights evidences are also very reasonable for making eea2. seems like an easy case. make sure to translate marriage certificate into english if it is not in ...

Hi, My husband is about to submit his EEA 2 application as my nonEEA spouse (I am fromEEA). Along with passports, marriage cert, my work contract, letter from my employer, my recent wage slips and utility bills in both our names we were planning on sending supplimentary documents to evidence the his...

Thanks for the advice everyone

Thanks for the very helpful advice Gurus

Dear Gurus, My husband is currently completing his application form for EEA2 (he is non eea currently in UK on EEA FP). One of the questions asks what date he last entered the UK. We are a bit unsure what date to give as when he initially entered the UK on his EEA FP his passport was date stamped by...

Thanks Frei. Unfortunately we are still awaiting his residence card and it is unlikely we will have it in time for our trip.

Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I have posted it in the Ireland forum also

Dear Gurus, My non-EEA husband and I (EEA citizen) are travelling to Northern Ireland and are planning on visiting the Rep. of Ireland. He currently has an EEA FP to reside in UK with me and is awaiting his RC card. We were not planning to request a visa for the Republic from the Irishh embassy in U...

Thanks Guru. Just wondering what the implications of requesting the passports back? Do we then need to send it in again for the RC to be inserted? Does this slow up the application? We are hoping to travel in August so hoping to have the passport the RC back by then and don't want anything to slow ...

We are trying to come up with a solution to him not having any photo ID while his passport is sent off with his RC application. In the RC application, you should request the immediate return of the passports and supporting documents. Then he will only be missing the passport for a few weeks. Thanks...

Thanks Gledow. Can you tell me how long it took from when your wife sent her driver's licence application to when she received it? We haven't sent our RC application yet so we still have passport but hoping to send it in the next couple of weeks. It would be great if we could get the driver's licenc...

Thanks for all the useful information and suggestions. I tried to apply online for the provisional driver's licence for my husband but one of the stipulations was that he has been resident here for a minimum of 185 days, which he hasn't :( . I will definitely get certified copies of his passport and...

Dear Gurus, I was just wondering whether my non-EEA spouse who is on an EEA FP at present would be entitled to apply for a provisional drivers licence? We are trying to come up with a solution to him not having any photo ID while his passport is sent off with his RC application. I have looked up the...

Hello, I have two queries which I would really appreciate some advice on. To give come context..... I am hoping that my Non-EU spouse who recently joined my in UK on an EEA family permit can travel with me to Rep of Ireland (my 'home country') for Xmas. We have not yet applied for an RC for UK for m...

I have a similar query. My husband has recently joined me in the uk on an EEA family permit. He is looking for work but as yet has been unsuccessful. We have not yet applied for his RC but are planning to do so after Christmas. Can he claim job seekers allowance now prior to applying for RC?
