Apparently I've also received the Biometrics letter, I didn't notice that in the stack of mail. Pleased with that at least, considering I've heard it can take two months.

As an update I've received my passports today (which was surprisingly quick).

Requested: 1st of June
Received: 8th of June

@GMB, Thanks, I'll give it a go then. I was just afraid of my application being withdrawn, but in this case I may as well request all the documents back. I applied last week and they signed the next day (I also included a pre-paid special delivery envelope). @wegiwegi This was indeed my first ...

Hi all, I've applied last week for a residence card for my wife (she holds an EEA family permit currently), I understand there's a backlog at the home office due to Brexit and the reported processing time is around the 6 months mark. Unfortunately later that week I came to know of an important ...

I'm pretty sure you're good to go with EEA Family Permit, as long as you can prove the following: Legitimate marriage (English certified translated marriage certificate), photos together of marriage, call/chat logs if you have any (leave no wiggle room), any financial support sent to you) Proof of ...

Thanks, it seems the permit attached actually shows the visa was approved on the 8th of February (though having it sent to Pakistan probably took another week).

An update that I re-applied for the 2nd time with more evidence and was successfully granted visa for my wife. I sent in a some-what angry cover letter pointing out the refusal reasons being in direct violation of the EU law for our application regarding our previous application. 2nd EEA Family ...

I've reapplied with a lot more evidence now than necessary, My question is if I'm allowed to appeal and apply at the same time? After reading more it seems the ECO had no clue about his own job and just wanted to refuse us on invalid basis. We have a letter for tribunal given with the refusal letter ...

In addition to my last reply I've just got the exact document for refusal back now and these are the reasons stated: You have provided no evidence on communication between you and your sponsor. It would not be unreasonable to expect to see evidence of communications given your sponsor has lived in ...

Hi all, So apparently the EEA family permit got rejected on the basis that we didn't provide 'chat' between us and we sent no photos of our engagement (despite 50-60 photos of wedding, honeymoon, flight trips in both name, council letter, flight trip during marriage, visits, photos of me being with ...

Thanks,

Primarily asked because she's not coming over until next year February, so I'm probably better off just waiting until December~ before applying for an EEA Family Permit.

Thanks Jamaa,

I'll have a read over that. Once the 6 months expire is she required to leave the country or can she stay? I understand that without a residence permit/card application it'll be hard for her to convince her employer.

Thanks Noajthan, I will be applying on her behalf, I have acquired her passport (certified official copy), our marriage certificate, tons of wedding photos among other things already. I'm slightly confused with a few points in that PDF. Firstly it asks Evidence of your permission to be in the ...

Hi all, Apologies if this has been asked before, I've searched and couldn't find a similar thread which contains my scenario. I'm a Dutch passport holder (have never had any other citizenship), I currently live in Scotland since 2006 and have been a student from Aug 2006 until Aug 2013. Around March ...
