Hi everybody,

I need same information about EEA Family Permit. Can anybody help me please? I am a non -EEA member. I am living in Poland actually. I came to study in Poland in 2004, where i meet my husband. We live together for more than 3 years. We got married in my country in march 2010. We legalized our marriage in Poland and i got the residence permit for 1 year. My husband recently moved to uk. as he found a job. He is starting next week. I want to join him as soon as possible, that is why i am seeking advice to fill the application for EEA FAmily Permit. I have never been in uk before and i'm not familiar with the law there. I would like to know if the list of documents below is all i need to provide for the EEA Family Permit or something is missing?

1- Accommodation
2- Financial evidence
3- My husband job details
4- My residence permit in Poland
5- Marriage certificate
6- Husband copy of passport or national identity card

Do i have to wait for my husband to register for Worker Registration Scheme or can i apply before?
In the visa form there is a part in which i have to write my husband National Insurance Number, as my husband begins to work next week and he does not have a National Insurance Number jet do i need to wait for him to get NIN or i don't need this?

Please i will be very grateful if you could help. I read a lot of information in the internet but I am still so confused and worried because a lot of people were refused to get a EEA Family Permit .

Thank you, thank you very much

Hi,

It doesn't sound like you should have any problems. I can't remember the exact details of the process, but I looked it up when I was thinking of going to the UK with my Polish sweetheart. You should call and/or go to see the UK embassy in Warsaw

http://ukinpoland.fco.gov.uk/en/

Basically, as a wife of a Polish citizen, your right to go to the UK is guaranteed as one of the Four Freedoms of the European Union. There is a process to go through, but just follow it carefully and you shouldn't have any problems. The UK embassy should be helpful with that.

Good luck

Kleana, there's a few things you need to do abt the EEA Family permit.
You'll have to apply for an Entry clearance visa (EEA Family Permit) at the UK embassy in Warsaw. This one just allows you to enter the UK - to join your husband as a Non-EEA family member of a EEA member. And yes, as you can see on the application form, your husband must have the following documents

1. Firstly, registered on the (Worker Registration Scheme)WRS as this is the only piece of document that binds him to exercising his rights to stay in the UK as an EEA member. Registering on this scheme takes between 4-6 weeks before he gets his certificate.
The Interpretation of the law is; for you to join your husband, he must be exercising his rights to live and work in the UK as an EEA member and since he's Polish, the only way for him to exercise this right is to register for the WRS.

2. NI is not that important because that takes longer sometimes. He has to attend interviews at the Job center and all that. Yes, it's required but if he doesn't have it by the time you want to travel, i doubt that will be such an issue.

3. Employment - Your husband will have to prove that he works in the UK. you'll need his employer's details i.e address and contact details. You'll also need his employment details i.e employment contracts, payslips, hours worked per week and also terms of employment. Btw - you need to provide all these documents as evidence to support your application. Originals preferrably.

4. Accomodation, Yes, your husband must have a known address in the UK. you will need the address details and the Landlord details. Most importantly you MUST have the rental contract. With this contract, it's an assurance that you have an permanent address in the UK.

5. Other documents to support your application.
a. Financial documents(you & your husbands bank staements), whilst they are desirable to have, they're definitely NOT essential. Like i said earlier, your husband, an EEA member has rights to live and work in the UK, so financial guarantee is not a prerequisite!

b. Your relationship to the EEA member. this is as Important as anything really. you'll have to prove that your marriage is genuine hence your marriage certificate should be available. Be ready to answer some personal questions if needed.

c. Yes, you'll need photocopies of your husband's identity documents.

With all these documents, you should be able to get your visa no problems but we all know visa's are dealt with on individual basis and that unfortunately brings uncertainity. Good Luck with your application.
