EEA family permit refusal

deshu · Post by **deshu** » Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:22 pm

hi,
i am an italian national in italy married to an indian. our EEA family permit application is refused on the following grounds :-

1. having mentioned that i am a jobseeker and my husband would accompany me, i have not shown any CV or any job offers.
2. even if i mentioned my actual work position, i have not given my pay slip since my company could not offer it.
3. it is mentioned in the refusing letter :- given your current financial and employment circumstances as shown by you and taking into consideration the current economic climate in the UK, i am not satisfied that you or your husband will be able to easily find employment and that you will not become an unreasonable burden on the social assistance system of the united kingdom.. i am not satisfied that you meet all of the requirements of regulation 6 and 13 of the immigration regulations 2006.
4. we have mentioned that we would like to stay there indefinitely.

it is mentioned that we have 28 days to appeal. but can we appeal giving additional documents? or do we have to reapply? in that case how long before we can reapply?
thanks,
regards,
deshu

deshu,

What exactly did the refusal letter say?
Are you both in Italy?

hi,
me and my husband both are in italy. in the application form i have mentioned that i want to go to uk as a job seeker and i want my husband to accompany me.

the following concerpts are from the refusal letter :-
you have stated on your visa application form that you intend to accompany your italian wife, and that you intend to stay in the uk with her indefinitely.

you state that your wife will be in the uk as a jobseeker. "jobseeker" for the purpose of regulation 6(1) (A) means a person who enters the uk in order to seek employment and can provide evidence that he is seeking employment and has a genuine chance of being engaged.

you have not provided any evidence such as resume, any offers of employment or any evidence of qualifications, skills, previous employment or anything else to satisfy me that your wife would qualify as a jobseeker.
then they have stated the regulation 13 of european economic area immigration regulations.

then they have stated that :- it would appear from information / documentation you have submitted that both you and your wife are currently unemployed and you have not provided any evidence of income or that you hold any savings or assets. given your current financial and employment circumstances as shown by you and taken into consideration the current economic climate in the uk, i am not satisfied that you or your husband will easily find employment and that you will not become any unreasonable burden on the social assistance system of the uk.

thanks,
deshu

Awesome letter! It is in writing and it is so patently against the requirements of EU law.

Sorry, I know it is a difficult situation. But I have to enjoy a few laughs about the letter itself.

How quickly do you want to be in the UK? How are you planning to get there?

It seems like that being unemployed currently makes you undesireable in UK. I don't understand why people mention that they will live indefinitely in UK. EEA family permit is only valid for 6 months which means you need to apply for Residence card within this period. It is perhaps better to state only six months in this application.

10 minutes....

You can reapply straight away but the important part is to understand why you have been refused and address those in the new application. Otherwise, you will be refused again.
