You could, but the procedure is much longer, as you will have to pass the english language test, show you meet the accommodation and maintenance requirement and that your wife is present and settled in the UK, or at least demonstrate an intention on her part to do so, and added to this the visa fee.newbieholland wrote:Is it possible to apply for a UK spouse visa for a non EU spouse of a UK national after successful EEA FP? I have EEA FP under Surinder Singh and I travelled to UK a couple of times. Can I apply for a UK spouse visa from the country of my residence?
Thanks for the reply Obie. I understand the delay due to the unwanted formalities (requirement of language test which is not needed per the EU law) , but I feel sepnding money on the language test and visa fees is better than loosing opportunities . I guess I have already lost enough as it costs three extra years to get the PR where you can come and leave freely into the UK. I am happy as long as there is an option to change my EEAFP to the spouse visa.Obie wrote: You could, but the procedure is much longer, as you will have to pass the english language test, show you meet the accommodation and maintenance requirement and that your wife is present and settled in the UK, or at least demonstrate an intention on her part to do so, and added to this the visa fee.
There is also the option of applying for EEA Residence Card aswell.
