How long have you been living together? The HO would normally expect 2 years as proof of unmarried couples. The application form to use is EEA2 and it takes several months for a decision to be made. As an unmarried partner you will not be allowed to work until a decision is made.tearOne wrote:hi all,
please help me this serious issue suddenly destroyed my VISA
I am currently on Tier 1 VISA due for extension in next 30 days. I totally forgot to maintain funds in a personal account. There is strict requirement for Tier 1 extension to keep funds for 90 days only £800 but I forgot. Funds are maintained but in a business account and that will not be considered.
Now I am thinking I will get refused if I apply for extension due to maintenance funds issue which is very big issue.
What I am thinking to switch to EEA family permit. My GF is polish and we have a son. Can you please help if I can switch while I am in UK in next 30 days because we are not married yet. If yes then what is the right procedure for this? what form I should fill up, can I still be able to work or continue my job?
regards,
Jimi
Also worth knowing is that you can't count time under tier-1 and EEA regulations for ILR. So if you switch, your clock for ILR/PR resets.
