That being the case you are an EEA Citizen exercising Treaty Rights in the UK, and under the terms of the EU Directive, if you are a Director of your company and own all or most of the shares, you are treated as self-employed. Otherwise employed. Either way you are clearly exercising Treaty Rights in the UK.I am Italian Citizen here in UK since July 2009, I am software developer, working from my arrival, I am currently working in a Bank in the city as an IT Contractor, I run my own Limited Company for that.
First thanks for taking the time to answer, my driver lic is from Argentina, and it's expired, I need to get a new one. I want a car soonthe_pit wrote:Sorry, I am remembering things..
My passport is from Italy, will it be returned quicker than the non-eu ones?
I am just worried about the driver license, can I get one without the passport?
Thanks
You will certainly need a translation into English for all documents, and for Argentinean documents you also need an apostille to prove the authenticity.the_pit wrote:I have all the certificates (birth and marriage) but they are original, in spanish, I don´t know if this could be a problem.
I have also a question, I could not find the processing time for the EEA2 and what happens if the time when they need to go is reached and we still dont have a decision?..
Thanks a lot, all of you.
Well, I found on the EEA2 form the phrase: Any documents which are not in English must be accompanied by a reliable English translation.the_pit wrote:Hi, thanks again for your replies, I have more questions sorry about that, it would be great if you can give your opinions and advise regarding the following:
First, I was living in the UK from July 2009, always working, and of course I have prove of that.
I will not worry about about my driver license at this time.
1-If I need to translate all the documents that's mean we will need to go to Argentina for that? can we not do that from here in the Argentinean embassy?
2-You said we will never be illegally here but my wife and daughter have a stamp in the passport giving them 2 months , and the officer told us they need to go after that. Or we could try in Croydon to get the residence card (that's what she said). Anyway I understand once you are waiting for a decision you have the right to stay until a decision is made.
3-In case we want to add my brother in law (17 years old, also here from May) in the EEA2 application, do we need to present proves he is actually my brother in law? I assume we need to get his birth certificate, translate it.. etc..
4-In case the visa for my brother in law is denied, that doesn't mean that all the visas in the application will be denied as well really?, we can receive maybe visas for my wife and daughter but not for my brother in law for example? is that correct.?
Thanks a lot for your support, it is not easy to get someone helping you about these topics out there without paying fortunes..
Cheers!
PS: In the EEA2 form it doesn't state the documents has to be translated, it just say that they need to be the original ones.
Why not? If you want to drive in the UK? Having been in the UK for more than one year it would not assist you to get a new Argentine driving licence. That is because you could not use it to drive in the UK. So you are faced with having to get a UK provisional licence, then passing the driving theory test, and then passing the practical test. The sooner you get a UK provisional licence the sooner you will complete that process.I will not worry about about my driver license at this time.
Not at all. The translations into English could be done here in the UK, by someone competent to to make a certified translation.If I need to translate all the documents that's mean we will need to go to Argentina for that?
Hi, I said I don't worry, because I am willing to wait until my passport is returned, that's it. I want the license, and I know I will need to do the test, no problem.John wrote:Why not?

Always present both the original document and the translation into English. That is give UKBA etc the opportunity to check the translation, if they so wish.
Ok, so we can say that applying to EEA1 increases the chances of success.John wrote:In accordance with the terms of the EU Directive, both the EEA1, for an EEA citizen, and EEA2, for their family member, procedures are voluntary. Documentation issued after such applications is only confirmatory of rights already held.
However that is not the end of the story. This is because whilst the EEA's passport confirms their right to live and work in the UK, their family member has no such confirmation. So for non-EEA family members it makes very good sense to make an EEA2 application.
But in order to get the Residence Card issued to the non-EEA family member, that person needs to prove that their EEA spouse is exercising EU Treaty Rights in the UK. And what better way to do that than for the EEA citizen to use form EEA1 to apply for a Residence Permit .... even though the EEA citizen does not really need that Residence Permit at all.
Or put it another way, if just the EEA2 is submitted by the non-EEA family member, that person still needs to prove that their spouse is an EEA citizen and is exercising Treaty Rights in the UK.
So the immigration officer in luton didn't know a lot about immigration , because she said they "need" go before 2 months, and they can only stay 6 months every year here until they dont get a proper visa. But I assume that is because she didn't want to know if its really my wife, If I really was working, etc.. Anyway.. I'll do my license and then the EEA stuff.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Applying for a Residence Card is 100% optional. If you want, you can wait for 3 years and apply for it then. In the mean time, the non-European family members are still 100% legal in the UK as long as the EU citizen is working - the Residence Card does not change that.
