Sheffield Visa Section - EEA FAMILY PERMIT

[Merzit]

Hello Merzit, Is any Of you still working? If yea then hold your statement of account or of anyone who will stand for you as a sponsor.but for now , just try since you have your family resident card.you should not have too much difficulty.do not be afraid.try.you will pass successfully.

Ok I’ll take all my papers and card, do you think the police in the airport ask me something like if I enter for holidays? Or maybe ask me where im gonna live? Please tell me what they ask you

[unuojeye]

Hello Merzit, they only ask questions about marriage.to prove that you are truly a couple.and why the date the marriage certificate printed is different from the date we got married.answer is simple.we print certificate when ever we need it and it, s only valid for 3 months in spain.but our cases may differ, so just relax. But on a second thought , you must have a place you will stay when you get there.just hold a proof of where you will stay.best of luck to you and everyone else.

[hachel]

Decision made today, after ~150 working days.
- Solvit involved and accepted my case 11 weeks ago (I think it helped).

Fingers crossed.

My husband also held the tenancy agreement letter and council tax bill.just tell her to hold everything she used to apply.I wish her the best.

What airline did you took and which airport did you landed? Did they asked question to you in airport in spain about the visa or just in uk?

[unuojeye]

Hello Zee, airline is Ryanair.no issue when going in spain as long as you present your family resident card.only when you get to UK.but not too much stress.just questions.

With Family Permit you can, with just the stamp probably not.

[unuojeye]

Hello Zee 11, you have to apply for the national insurance first.then the resident permit.yes you can get both with the clearance stamp.i have seen friends who got with stamp.when I called, they asked me what time LIMIT was on the stamp.i told them.they have sent me the form.i have filled and returned it.( for national insurance).

Visa granted.

[Rockson1991]

Thank you so much.. Dont worry put application with correct documents... N i guess that not straightforward emails were just an excuses for home office to put application on hold. They must have had some internal or political issues that affected visa applicants... I know 5 to 6 cases including me who got visa within 20 working days...
And i dont know how country wise visa things works.. But this is what happens in Indian.....

Congratulations!!!

I really hope that is the case, we are submitting ours next so hopefully it will be as straightforward as yours!
