Easy to marry in US - do u have legal residency in US - if not I think u'll have to apply to a British embassy in France. EEA FP gives right to work yes, I'm not sure of the form numbers others will advise but the six months plus waits I'm sure are for the extension of the initial EEA FP in the UK. The initial EEA FP is for six months, then AIUI it's automatically extended to five years without a vignette being required if u r still together. Trouble is it's difficult in the UK now without visible proof of right to remain, ie employers won't employ for fear of a fine. Hence the need for a vignette showing the extended visa in passport, hence lots of applicants, hence a long wait....PaulineSa wrote:Thanks for your answer! :)
Yes sounds like marriage is the easiest.
We are currently both in the US. So would it be easier to get married in the US?
Then EEA2?
I was reading postings about the wait to get the EEA2 approval!! Pffff, more than 6 months! :(
Does a EEA2 give the right to work in the UK?
I think the Liverpool address is for the extension but I could be wrong - hoping for someone else to jump in...PaulineSa wrote:Lol I think i have pretty much understood you!
It would be difficult for my boyfriend to get a job...
I do not have US residency. Are you talking about the marriage or the EEA procedure that i would have to apply in a British embassy in France?
I have the EEA form here and they say to send it to Liverpool.
I am surprised because in this form they ask the UK address of the non-EEA member... So he needs to be on the UK territory to apply?! as a visitor?
Do you have any idea of the chance of success of this procedure?
What you need to enter the UK is a EEA family permit (form VAF5) which is similar to a visa and you can obtain one at the UK embassy in your country of residence. But US citizens don't need visa for short term visits. Some people here say that it shouldn't be a problem to enter the UK without one in this case.PaulineSa wrote:Thanks for your answer!![]()
