Its not even a suspect, expecially the UK. They will refuse the visa without a marriage certificate.Obie wrote:Under EU law, the marriage certificate (Evidence of relationship) and the passport or ID card of EU national (Evidence of EU Citizenship) are the two most important documentation required form your permit to be processed.
I suspect your application will not be accepted without your marriage certificate.
I know that the application will not be processed until I give the marriage certificate but since the application procedure (as I heard) takes too much time (3 to 6 months). So, if the other documents are with them, the file may come clos to them by the time I present the certificate.charles4u wrote:Its not even a suspect, expecially the UK.

Many thanks Obie.Obie wrote:EEA permit doesn't take that long to process. It is given the utmost priority in comparison to other Entry clearance category. You probably mean 3-6 weeks to process. If they take longer than that, the matter should be reported to solvit as it is illegal under EU law.
OP, you need to submit the marriage certificate or your application will not even be accepted,never mind being rejected.

I really dont know how long it should take because a mate of mine applied in Dublin on the 11th of August and he hasnt gotten a reply to date.Obie wrote:That would or should be a reasonable expectation.
However i am unsure where the OP is applying from, and how efficient they are, but in Ireland, where i live, they have a 100% processing completion within 15 days for that category of Entry clearance.
I have to be on the err of caution, and say it might take considerably longer in high demand countries, however, 6 months would definitely be deem to be extremely excessive, wouldn't you agree?
Dublin UK embassyObie wrote:He should definitely follow it up. Article 5 of the directive states that such visa (EEA family Permit) should be processed as part of an accelerated process. The British say they acknowledge this. However they don't always seem to be showing that in practice. If he doesn't hear anything by the end of this week, i will suggest he get in contact with them and see what's happening.
What country is your friend applying from ?
Thanks for that info, i think its just down to an incompetent British systemObie wrote:It should be a maximum 15 working days then, as i stated earlier.
In July, they said 100% of EEA family permit applications were processed within 15 working days, which means, for a friend of yours who applied on the 11 of August, processing should or would be near completion.
