If you have evidence that you have been living together in Italy, it will be difficult for the Embassy to claim that this is a marriage of convenience. It may well be worth trying again - after all, there is no fee, so you have nothing to lose.

your husband does not need to have money or a job for this application.

Hello everybody!

I'd like to report that I and my husband's back to London finally! after stuck in Italy for 2years.

My EEA Family Permit was refused in Tokyo 2years ago, because of my overstaying and suspicion of "marriage of convenience",
but it's clear now, and I received 6months EEA in 5days without a interview! in Rome in April.

My visa is going to expire soon, but we came back to London in August with some personal reason,
we have to rush to prepare our documents!, and I need some advise again, please!

I'm applying for EEA2 this time, and EEA1 for my Italian husband.
but, is it necessary for him to apply EEA1?

Also, my husband does Online business=self employment, it's not enough for living but trying to make it bigger now,
and has some saving in his bank account. He is looking for a job as well.
As long as he has some money, this is not a problem is it?
and can he send a letter from his employer to the Home Office, when he find the job?


I heard that EEA visa takes at least 6months! so, the time they go through our applications, they might ask extra documents and take more times,
and I can't go on a holiday outside the UK..... this is my paranoia!!

Suspicion of "marriage of convenience" was clear, what do they want to know this time?
Do they want to know that we are capable of living without benefit?

Could you help us to get rid of our paranoia??

Thank you :D
