Hi again rosebead.rosebead wrote:Family members do not have to prove employment for EEA2 applications, it is only their EEA sponsor who has to prove exercising of Treaty rights, so you do not have to submit anything at all related to your employment. Since you got your EEA Family Permit under Regulation 9 (Surinder Singh case law), luckily for you your British spouse cannot be legally required to exercise Treaty rights in the UK (Case C-291/05 Eind) so no need for him to submit proof of his employment in the UK. And no need to re-submit proof of his employment in his host State either. This is because the EEA2 form changed in April so that if you obtained your FP under Regulation 9, there's now a box you can tick at the top of SECTION 5 of the EEA2 form that allows you to skip all of the question relating to your husband's employment and "integration", and thus no need to re-submit your husband's proof of employment or integration in Cyprus.
All you need submit are passports, marriage certificate, and proof of your and your spouse's residence in the UK, and that is it. Plus a cover letter to say that you already have FP and have ticked the relevant box on SECTION 5 of the EEA2 form that tells Surinder Singh applicants to skip all questions until SECTION 10. State that you will be submitting just your and your spouse's passport, marriage certificate, and proof of residence in the UK because that is all the form asks for, since your FP is already proof that you have satisfied Regulation 9. Health insurance is absolutely not required nor proof of your employment nor a UK bank account - they are not relevant to your application unless you want to submit them as proof of your and your spouse's residence in the UK, but I would've thought his parents' letter would suffice and maybe a utility bill in the parents' name, plus any official documents in your and your spouse's names addressed to his parents' home such as bank account, driving licence, insurance, receipts, etc. Just 2-3 proofs of UK residence will do - you don't have to go above board.
EEA2 applications are straightforward for SS applicants now. Once you have FP you are sorted and do not need to prove it all over again for EEA2 (which you did use to have to, but thankfully not anymore with the form change in April).
I know, everything went so well when I applied for EEAFP, I was so glad and this forum really helped alot. Actually, just today I saw someone posted about her COA with no right to work and the reasons are: 1. No valid identity documents, No evidences of sponsor exercising his/her treaty rights and Evidences of relationship and the applicant sent all those documents. That is really crazy, sometimes i think that they might just sending random COA to everyone who just applied for EEA2. It is very unfair for us who are trying to send complete documents.rosebead wrote:Mrs.mdebden, yes I do remember your case. I'm glad you got your EEA Family Permit and that they didn't hassle you because you got married just before your FP application. If you do get a house visitation or interview it is just to check that you are in a genuine relationship so nothing to worry about. I think EEA2 applications are currently taking 2-3 months to process but I guess this can change depending on Home Office backlog. With regards to COA and right to work, it seems to be completely random as some people get the correct COA and others don't. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it other than arbitrary decision-making on the part of UKVI caseworkers.
What nationality are you? Who is the British? You or your husband? Where do you live atm?Ramou23 wrote:I really need help.
I got Married by proxy last year December,I wasn't present at the marriage but my Partner and Family where. I visited my Husband this year and we both went to foreign Affairs and minister of Justice to register our Marriage certificate.
Now I want to travel to Ireland this year to take the SS route with my partner, do you people think that my Marriage Certificate will be accepted?
Thank you in advance.
Oh, I see. So you are just still planning to move to Ireland with your husband? I think you need to call the Embassy of Ireland in your husband's country so he can apply for visa.Ramou23 wrote:I hold a British passport. I am currently in Uk. My Husband is living in Gambia.
We have photos and proves that our relationship is genuine.
Thank you
I'm not really sure about the proxy marriage. Did you try checking on the internet? Ask other lawyers and see what they will say. And about applying for Irish visa, I think that is the only way you can do it, try to check if you can just go to airport and get a stamp from there. It might worth trying. Just be sure once you go to Ireland, bring your husband as soon as possible because he needs to be living with you.Ramou23 wrote:Yes I am working and saving at the moment hoping to apply for his visa by the end of this year.
I am just concern and worried about our Marriage certificate to weather it will be accepted or not as it was Proxy and it is accepted in Gambia.
Gambia does not have an Irish Embassy, so if I am inviting him to join me He has to send it to Dublin with DHL.
I am planning on going to Ireland in November which means I have to quit my job, then find a job before inviting him. just scared maybe they will not give him the visa because of the Proxy Marriage Certificate. I ask a Lawyer who said it was fine as long as Gambia recognise Proxy but am just worried.
Thank you very much for taking your time to reply I really appreciate it.
