Today, the British Embassy has granted my wife's eea fp at the second time of asking. Naturally we are thrilled to bits at this. We would especially like to thank KeithAngel and his sources for helping us with factual information from which we put together a highly professional and legally-worded cover letter that refuted the ridiculous reasons for our first rejection. His information has been pivotal in our marriage process and we would be still floundering without it. We are waiting for the rom from hk so we can get the cfo sticker; however, my wife is having a go anyway with the cfo and hoping they won't notice... The woman in the vfs said that she has a month to travel out of the Philippines on the eea fp before it is invalid. Anyone know if it's true?
Congratulations that's certainly the case with a UK spouse. However the entry clearance stuck in the passport clearly has an expiry date on it for a UK spouse. If your entry clearance stuck in the passport does not have expiry then I suggest that you check further.
Congratulations !!! The Family Permit is not a privilege but a "right", in view of this, any appeal would have been successful if all the original paperwork was in order. My suspicion on the refusal is that they must have a quota or target to meet,... And successful appeals do not count...
The expiry date is the 5th August. A lady at the vfs said about only being allowed to travel from the Philippines in the next month with it. There is no 5th March travel date on it. This is the first I have heard of it so yes we will check further
Yes, 6 months validy to UK Technically once in UK the expiry doesn't actually happen and she'd not be overstaying. Residence card makes sense but not mandatory. Although life can be difficult without it.
Hello, Congratulations AndyRam!!! I have noticed that your wife has been granted with EEA Family Permit. I am new to this forum (and special thanks admin for the immediate approval). I would like to know more about the EEA Faimly permit application process. I am married to an Irish National who is a permanent resident in the UK. He's been living in the UK for years now. He had travelled and worked in other EU countries in the past. We've known each other since January 2014. And he came to the Philippines in the latter part of July last year and we got married in early August through a civil wedding. We are planning to apply for an EEA Family permit next month. I already have the supporting documents like marriage certificate, my new passport under his surname, copy of his passport, Tenancy Agreement, National Insurance number, photos together, printed email, parcels, Skype conversations (we communicate twice a day/on a daily basis ). I am still waiting for his Cover Letter to be sent via post. I want to verify if his bank statement is needed as I've been told by a visa agency. As far as I know it is not necessary based on the EEA law. Could you shed me some light on this? Thank you very much. Looking forward to speaking to anyone of you in this forum. Regards,
I would highly recommend you apply as soon as possible I would recommend sending any documents by fast courier and expiditing the app next week if you can as its just possible a rule change may be implimented ahead of ratification after the 19th Feb I hope not but while not wanting to worry you moves are afoot to make your application void under the existing rules http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/eu-freedom-of-movement-rights.12148/#post-105720 read the link below http://eulawanalysis.blogspot.be/2016/02/the-draft-renegotiation-deal-eu.html?m=1
Oh My God!!! I hope it will not. ;( Thank you very much for the update KeithAngel. Really appreciate it. So while waiting for the cover letter, on my part I'm cofused with the online application form, I am afraid
I am afraid that I might not be filling it (EEA Family permit) up properly due to confusion on some pages whether it is of the EEA National part or the Applicant.
