Hi,
I need your suggestion and guidance. My wife EEA family permit is refused. Should I reapply or appeal?
I am a Finnish(Finland) Pakistani. I got married on 7 January 2017 in Lahore, Pakistan Since then I am residing in Pakistan with my wife.
I am planning to move to Uk with my wife. My wife is a Pakistan citizen. She applied for EEA family permit from Lahore, Pakistan in March 2017 and got refusal in July 2017.
Here is the decision:
• you have stated that you propose to accompany your spouse to the United Kingdom who is a Finnish national. you state that you first met on 07/11/2016, your relationship began on13/11/2016 and you married on 07/11/2016.Your marriage was arranged. In support your application, you have provided your Marriage Registration Certificate.
• You have not presented an original and translation of our marriage in the form of your Nikkah Nama. I also note that you have provided no other evidence of your marriage in the form of photographs or other documentation associated with the marriage ceremony and celebration. I note that you have resided together in Pakistan since the marriage but have presented no evidence of such co-habitation.
• In view of your failure to provide satisfactory evidence, I am not satisfied that you are the family member of an EEA national in accordance with regulation 7 of the Immigration (EEA) regulation 2016.
• Your application has been considered in accordance with regulation 8 (5) of the Immigration (EEA) regulation 2016 but you have failed to prove that you are in a durable relationship with an EEA national.
Right of appeal
I am entitled to appeal against the decision under regulation 36 of the Immigration (EEA) regulation 2016.
Now I have compiled all the above-mentioned documents that have caused the refusal.
What will you suggest me should I got for appeal or file a new application by adding additional proofs?
In the case of appeal scenario, I have two questions.
1) How much time does it take to get a first court hearing date in First-tier Tribunal?
2) Can I appeal and also make a new application for EEA family permit?
Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
