I sent of the application on the 13th of October 2014
HO received it on the 14th of October 2014
money taken out of the account 30th October 2014
COA received and dated 16th November 2014
RC still pending

Very anxious to here any success stories and opinions from those who applied for Eea2 through the proxy marriage route
would also want to hear from witnesses and people who have a wide knowledge of how this works.

I also want to know success FULL timescales and also times for those who were asked to appeal or where refused recently withno rights to apeal

Also see Kareem.

It will depend on the country of your wife and you, whether or not they accept this type of marriage.

Did you file this application yourself or did a legal representative\solicitor file on your behalf? If it were the latter, I would be keen to know if you were informed about kareem as pointed out, by the second poster.

Well did your legal rep, particularly advise you (or provide the evidence required) on the validity of your proxy marriage under Hungarian Law for your application?

If not :

23. "That, though, is not the end of the matter. Regulation 8 of the 2006 Regulations regulates those persons who can be considered to be 'extended family members' of EEA nationals. Pursuant to regulation 8(5):
"A person satisfies the conditions in this paragraph if the person is the partner of an EEA national and can prove to the decision maker that he is in a durable relationship with the EEA national."
24. "Durable relationship" is not defined in the Regulations, and whether a person is in a durable relationship is a matter to be determined on a case-by-case basis" https://tribunalsdecisions.service.gov. ... 4-ukut-316

That might assist you but I am no expert, hopefully one of the experts here will chip in.

God Bless

I see you've been married since 2011 and sent evidence going back one year, it would be best to collate evidence from previous years if you were to rely on regulation 8.
