Hi Robster

Eu family Permit takes 6 months to process and they wont ask you why you want to travel to the UK in the application. Regarding your wife being pregnant in the UK residence application it clearly states 'Do you have any children with you or born there' . They dont mention anything about pregnancy.

[benfares]

I am in the same situation as you I have been here since Feb and I am with my moroccan husband and 11 month old son (he was born in england) they expect you to settle there for a reasonable time. I have been here nearly 6 months.

[robsters]

6 months to process the application i thought the eu family permit was was processed more quickly? and how long should we be settled in ireland before we apply and can we apply even though my wife still on a temp residence card?

Hi Robster

It takes around 6 months sometimes less it depends.Plus they will have your original passports so you wont be able to leave Ireland.

[benfares]

Yes you can if your wife has the stamp 4

EEA Family permit applications in Ireland takes about 6 weeks to decide. Not 6 months.

[robsters]

6 weeks thats good, also i only have 4 months of pay slips but i had 2 jobs here in ireland and now doing part time job now full time should i send pay slips from both jobs, basically have 4 pay slips from 1 job thats now ended and soon 5th pay slip from part time job i am now doing full time?

plus 2nd question would it help the "centre of life test" if i send documentation for my wife pregnancy , reason i ask this as on uk visa website it says centre of life test is tested on how much ur life is moved over to member state and it says i.e. having a child in the member state

if someone can answer these both for me

[benfares]

Hi Robster

Centre of life test means your wife will have to have the baby in Ireland to prove if you have moved to Ireland. I have my son here with me (he is british) they want evidence of your family there.

[robsters]

Thanks for your reply, also how soon after filling in the online form do you have to submit paper work? and what list of paper work needs to be included?

[benfares]

Hi Robster

Do you mean EEA family permit? You have to send everything as soon as possible

[robsters]

Hi Robster

Do you mean EEA family permit? You have to send everything as soon as possible

yeah the EEA family permit, what kind of paper work should i include to prove where we live together as we lived with a friend of family we helped pay some rent but it was not proper rental as it someone we know we live with so only bills we have our name are some insurance documents, bank paper work and PPS numbers and phone bills

[benfares]

Hi

You have to send the EEA family permit along with all the required documents like bills,rental agreement plus original passports and marriage certificate

[robsters]

we dont have a rental agreement though thats the problem just living with someone we know, we have a letter signed saying we live with them and some bills and documents to show we live here thats it

[benfares]

That should be fine, send everythimg you sent for your EU1 application. Plus extra documents like bank statements etc

[robsters]

That should be fine, send everythimg you sent for your EU1 application. Plus extra documents like bank statements etc

i rather not include bank statements i believe that only required if your self employed, in terms of showing centre of life what would be best to include? photos of us at events in dublin? maybe showing documents for hospital visits for my wife baby?

[benfares]

Yes you can include that even receipts of purchases, photos, library card.Plus show that you did volunteering I will do that.

[robsters]

sounds good, also how long once you get the family permit does it stay valid for as in how long until has to be used to enter the country or is it 6 months from the moment it is issued?

[benfares]

Its valid for 6 months and you can apply fr your UK residence card once your in England.

[robsters]

do you think photos, concert tickets and info about my wife pregnancy would cover a centre of life test? and yeah 6 months but does the clock start ticking on that 6 months from the moment its issued or when you first enter the uk?

[benfares]

Yes all that should be fine and enough. Its from the moment they stamp your passport.

Hi everyone,

Please I need some current information from anyone that has recently applied for EU family right as a partners not married. I am here in Ireland with my partner and five month old daughter, I currently do not have any legal statue here, but my partner and daughter are both British citizens. we both live together here and she does work here. has anyone recently applied under this circumstances as mine? and what are the current situation like?

[benfares]

Hi Hk79

If you do not have a legal status how did you enter Ireland? I think you have to apply through extended family member through surinder singh seen as your Partner is British and child. You are in similar situation as myself I have a Moroccan husband and a British child. However, I entered Ireland through Directive 2008.

[hk79]

sorry, I just want to know the possibility of submitting an application under the EU treaty right as unmarried couple with a child. if you have any idea or anyone done it recently should please get in touch. partner and daughter are both British nationals.
