UKBA state you need 2 years of co-habiting. HOWEVER: its all worth a shot... if you can prove that you "co-habited" thenchigirl wrote:I'm a US citizen and am recently engaged to an Italian living and working in the UK since 1999. We met in 2010 and began dating long-distance in late 2010 -- and are officially engaged as of last month. Our whole relationship has been long-distance, but we fly and see each other every other month or so, our visits lasting usually a minimum of 10 days. We haven't missed a holiday together since we met.
We have tons of pictures from our trips, both been to meet each other's families multiple times, shared vacations, but no joint bank accounts or leases, etc.
What are the chances that this will be determined as a durable and sustained relationship under an EEA Family Permit?? Our instinct is to provide as much information as possible to compensate for the lack of financial documents -- is this wrong?
THANK YOU!!
Yes, his has the most stamps. We also put all our flights in a spreadsheet -- around 25 -- and we always co-habitated at each other's residences. Would letters from landlord and close friends help the app??UKBA state you need 2 years of co-habiting. HOWEVER: its all worth a shot... if you can prove that you "co-habited" then
does your partner have leave in the USA? / passport stamps, plane tickets etc... a person can reside in two places at once...
Did not know that! Would they be afraid we'd run off and get married?note if uk refuse your EEA FP, it could affect your leave on the visaless entry...
UKBA will mark a file on your name with the decision, it could mean that the entry clearance officer might be "unwilling to accept you wish to leave after your trip"...chigirl wrote: Did not know that! Would they be afraid we'd run off and get married?
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR APPLICATION.chigirl wrote:Thank you, EUsmileWEallsmile. Would emails, skype calls, phone records help our case? Letters from friends and landlords verifying cohabitation during our visits?
Also, I'm interviewing for an internal transfer to the UK very soon - if I apply for the EEA FP, but then get the job, would the EEA FP hurt chances of a work permit?
