PR application and EEA passport

Post by Daniann » Wed Dec 07, 2016 10:44 am

Hi all
My wife who applied on July just received her PR today .
My self ( family member of EEA) applied on October and the solicitor she mentioned within the cover letter for my application that my wife documents ( including her passport) are with the home office , and she includes her case ID and reference number .
My question do I need to send the home office my wife passport and the other documents ( to prove she was exrcising her treaty rights ) ?

Thanks

There are no hard and fast rules on this.
As part of your application, your sponsor will have to prove they are a Union citizen and your sponsor and also a qualified person.

Whether HO can manage to link up the two applications to their satisfaction remains to be seen.
You would be more certain of a happy ending if your bundle was complete rather than sent in piecemeal.

Thank you noajthan
So just to confirm , you strongly advice me to send me EEA wife passport to the home office to join it to my applection ( please not the passport was with the HO until yesterday )
Do you advice me to send with the passport new cover letter mentioned that my wife ( sponsor) has already PR ,?

Thank you

What I said was: part of your application, your sponsor will have to prove they are a Union citizen and your sponsor and also a qualified person.
It is obviously much easier to prove these things if all evidence is submitted in a single bundle.

As you chose to apply separately its unclear why you didn't wait until all documents were available before submitting your application.
It sounds like you have wife's documents now.
It seems you would only have lost about a month if you had waited.

And if a caseworker now picks up your bundle to process it she won't actually find your wife's documents in HO anymore as you seem to say they have now been returned.

You can try to send the extra evidence in now and, if you can label it and cross-reference clearly, maybe HO can manage to add it to your bundle.
But you are trusting unknown admin clerks to be competent enough to achieve this and not lose such evidence.

if you are going to take that approach then yes, it can't hurt to mention your spouse/sponsor has now got her DCPR.
Good luck.

Noajthan ,
My wife applied on Jun as we afried from the brexit as we don't know what decision they will take immediately.
For me the early I can apply was October ( we did on October )
And our solicitor send along with my application a cover letter mentioned my wife case iD and she specify all the documents whichbern send with my wife application ( trying to link the 2 applications together )
Now we just received my wife PR (after 5 month )

And Noajthan if the case worker pick up my case now ( assuming ) first she/he will read the cover letter and she will know the story then he/she will check my wife case then the case worker will discover my wife had her PR already
I think the only choice is to ask the solicitor to send my wife passport with all the references and explain that on cover letter

I don't know if solicitor's approach will work or not. I understand she advised you in good faith and you did what you thought was best.
I would have taken a different approach knowing UK will remain in EU until at least 2019 but after all you are the ones with skin in the game.

Noajthan,
I appreciate your approach but at that time ( on Jun ) honestly everyone was crazy .. and all of us knew how the law keep changing especially for EEA and we never know what uk hiding ..
However , now the case as I explained and I believe we need to send the passport with clear cover letter , and we need to trust the admin as there is no another choice

Noajthn,
Just to update you , my solicitor refused to send my wife passport as according to my solicitor ( they have seen it already and we don't need to send it again ) so my application was without my wife passport and as result the HO office issued my PR normally without any problems
