I don't see why that would help. HO will most likely ask for fresh evidence at the time they consider the application anyway.fysicus wrote:I would recommend that your future husband already now applies for a registration certificate (using form EEA1) if he hasn't done so already. With a bit of luck he will have this certificate by the time you get married, and it will make it easier to provide all evidence for your residence card application.

The residence card (EEA2) is a permit that allows you to stay for longer than 6 months in the UK on the basis that the EEA partner is exercising treaty rights. You apply for the RC while in the UK. Application is free of charge.
EEA4 is permanent residence after five years.
You prove employment through an employment letter and recent payslips.Gabriella2305 wrote:Also would my husband have to prove he is working through that registration certificate?
I believe it should not be necessary in straightforward cases. Yours looks very much like one. For how long have you been married? If longer than 2 years there should be no problem. If shorter you also be required to prove a relationship before the marriage date. Not sure, however, if HO does such checks in your case.Gabriella2305 wrote:Do you reckon it would be worth paying an agency to do everything for us and advise us properly? How much do you think that would cost?
We are moving in circles here: family permit only outside, residence permit only inside!Gabriella2305 wrote:My student visa expires only in December 09. Even though we are getting married in the UK and my visa is still valid here for about 6 months after our marriage can I apply for the Family Member Residence Stamp in South Africa? Only because it takes 5 days in South Africa and here it takes 6 months!!
Thank you so so much everyone for giving me advice. Hopefully i'll be able to help and offer advice to another person in my situation one dayfysicus wrote:yes,
you can work from the moment you are married. Your rights as a family member of an EU national are acquired automatically; the document (i.e. the residence card) is only a confirmation of your rights.
Enjoy your wedding and honeymoon!
A residence card subsitutes for a visa but you don't have one. Many UK embassies will issue Schengen visas only to residents and require proof of it. This may be within their right or maybe not. The point is you arranged your trip too early and most likely won't be able to travel before you'll receive your RC. They only other option would be to find an embassy that doesn't check residence (is there one?) or apply from India...Tyro wrote:I am a very serious problem ,please help
