[wish_uk]

Hi every body,

I have a question in case of apply EEA FAMILY PERMIT.

in case a couple, living together since their marriage in Hungary (EU) at same address more than one year.
obviously they dont need to talk too much on , what app, Skype , viber. as they talk mostly face to face everyday.

I found people are being asked for the photos, chats and relationship history etc. which is not by law.

any way, can someone guide me if I apply family permit. what evidence should I give them to prove my marriage a genuine.

I have bank statements from nov 2014 - until today
I have some trips together to GERMANY, DENMARK AND FRANCE (pic+air tickets)

and what more is good to support my application.

thankss

MARRIED: AUG 2014
GOT RESIDENCE CARD : 28 JAN 2016 (ISSUED DATE)

You should wait for expert opinions but maybe I can give you an idea. I was married to my husband for only 3 months but we lived together longer than you have when I was issued a permit. Besides the required documents we sent 3 years worth of bank statements from our joint account, about 50 pictures of us together with friends and family, a declaration letter from my husband stating that he would be exercising his treaty rights, and a short statement describing how we met, our relationship, and our plans for the future. We are they same way and don't often use texting or skype to communicate but we were fine without that.

In my opinion you should be okay with what you have if you include your photos but maybe someone will have more suggestions. Just try not to give an unnecessary large amount of proof because it may do more harm than good.
I can't help you with the next steps because my permit expired before I had the chance to use it.
Good luck. I wish you the best.

thanks a lot for your response

ok I understand if somebody want to apply soon after the marriage can be required to prove his/her relationship history or genuine marriage?

does these supporting documents e.g pics, chats, letter etc are required by the couples who are living together after marriage for a long time like 18 months at the same address?

and I just have few things.
our address cards (same)
bank statements (same bank/address) but not joint account
our trips pics to GERMANY, DENMARK AND PARIS, hotel bookings and airline tickets.
have thousands of pics. but I can sort out some of them
but whats app chat history contains same repeated texts like , kisses hugs, miss you , love you like this. not have long conversations

thanksss again

Even though you lived together for a while and you obviously have a legitimate relationship, I still highly recommend sending your proof. They are keen to deny the permit for any small reason.

These are all very good to send.

You definitely won't need thousands of pictures. Sort them and choose around 50 that you and your spouse think would best show your relationship. I would include some of the trip photos. Before I sent my pictures we wrote the dates and the locations on the back, for example: "Christmas morning with family- 2011" " Vacation in Florida-2013" ect.
I would also include the texts. My husband and I send the same kind of short texts to each other but we didn't have a way to save them.
If you also decide to send any statements like the ones I listed above, be sure to have someone else proofread them for grammar and spelling mistakes.

Again, I'm just a random bored person who likes to read these forums and happened to get the same permit, so this is all just my opinion. If you're still not sure what to send I would wait for someone more knowledgeable about the subject to reply.

Hi, hope it is not late....
I am not an expert, but my experience is:

First application:
following what I´ve found on this forum I just sent passports and marriage certificate. Result: got a letter telling me that the marriage is one of convenience.

First application:
sent as much information as I could, photos (about 40), travel arrangements, letters from friends, letter from landlord, etc + cover letter.
Result: got my family permit right away.

Have a nice day!
M.
