Family permit application doubt

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

What is the citizenship of your wife? Is she working?

What is the citizenship of your wife? Is she working?

She's Italian, and is working. Not full time.

I might be over analyzing it, and please correct me if I'm wrong.
According to: EEA Family Permit (VAF5 Dec 2008) Form:
* Part 8.10.12.
* Part 11 ( Supporting documents checklist)

This form although intended for EEA applications asks way far than it is needed legally. Same goes for the documents list (although it states it is your choice which documents to submit). They are just reusing an application form used for a different immigration route and never adapted it properly (for example, in the documents list they ask for the appropriate fee although this is a free application....)

If your wife is working in the UK, then there is no need to answer any of the financial question at all. Section 5 completely is irrelevant as your employment and/or financial are not relevant. It's the EU national status that matters. You can just write "N/A. My wife is exercising her rights as a worker in the UK".
Same goes for the size of the house in the UK, your expenses and if you plan to work in the UK or not.

It is natural that people always prefer to answer every question on the form "just in case" but it is not legally necessary and a decision can be made without providing every detail of your life. All is needed is proof of your wife exercising treaty rights in the UK + marriage certificate.

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

You do need to answer the questions about previous crimes, and crimes against humanity. You can, in theory, be refused if you are a national security risk, or a personal threat to big public policy. They can get away with those questions in order to assess...

But you do not need to answer any questions about your past or future work, or your or your wife's financial resources, or where she used to work.

All that matters is:
she is working (a pay slip!)
you are her spouse (marriage certificate!)
your passport!
her passport or ID card!

Understandable and standard in any immigration process. That's why biometrics are so important nowadays.

But you do not need to answer any questions about your past or future work, or your or your wife's financial resources, or where she used to work.

she is working (a pay slip!)

Well, once again I thank you for such a great info. I will apply as early as next week, and I will come back with the outcome.

Hi guys,
I am about to send my EEA2 to Liverpool, but have a few questions if any of you would be kind enough to answer or give me advice.

I have accumulated a large amount of documents for my application, but was wondering if I am about to send too much. I would certainly be intimidated if I received all my documents! Any hints from successful applicants?

Applying as unmarried partners, as long as we can show that we were in the same household, we do not need to show dependance. Is this correct?

My UK partner is returning to settle in the UK to study. He was exercising his Treaty rights working in France for 2 years. I guess I should just include the France part of his life in section 5 rather than his future studies in section 7, to highlight that he was exercising his rights before returning (I hope this is clear Confused ).

Finally, we have many photos which we could include. When we did the Family Permit in Paris, they took them but seemed to say they did not need them. Should we include them this time anyway? Trying to keep the documents we send to the right amount, not too many but not too little.

Thank you all for help.
