However the policy provides for a decision maker to exercise discretion and consider time spent under the Regulation as time spent with lawful leave, provided the person can show that the relevant family member was a qualified person.
Some People may have got away with it, but it does not mean , that the rule is not effective.
People making such application should ensure that all the areas are covered under the regulations for the period they spend as family members.
Hi Obie, do you know if I send original supporting documents for the extra documents they asked, do I need to send photocopy as well like the first time with application form? Will they return the 2nd time original documents they requested? I have included a paid Special delivery bag for the 1st time I send with application form, but I did not pay enough for the 2nd time further documents, I worry when they send back will not be enough post fee, shall I mention in the cover letter. Maby I think too much:)
They only ask my partner treaty rights, I plan to send his 5 yrs' bank statement which receive pay from company, do I need to send our joint account statement for 5 yrs or 3 months is fine? Do I need to send my payslips? I have included my employer letter when I send 1st time. I husband live in UK over 12 yrs. Do I need to write a cover letter to briefly explain his activity in this 12 yrs and mainly focus on the 5 yrs when I have EEA2? He actually can apply EEA3 back to 2009, he just did not apply because need send lots documents and wait time, he thought make no difference without it. When they receive extra documents how long will they make decision? Will they ask more documents if they feel need? Sorry I have so many questions, thank you:)
