The online EEA FP application asks lots of irrelevant questions (e.g., concerning finances and employment). If you're asking about those, asking a separate question is almost certainly best. | |
| Aug 16, 2018 at 15:03 | comment | added | Ines | I think we will likely proceed with the family permit application just for peace of mind. While I am going to be asking questions to our lawyer tomorrow, I had a few additional points of confusion relating to questions around my finances/employment and associated supporting documents, and was hoping I might be able to get some more opinions on what's needed and what's potentially superfluous. Are those questions I could ask here, or is it better if I start a new question thread for the same? (I've tried searching here but don't see information that relates to my specific situation). | |
| Aug 16, 2018 at 15:02 | comment | added | phoog | @Ines I think in the end it really just comes down to your tolerance for risk against your desire to get to the UK more quickly. The EEA FP process should be relatively painless, since it is supposed to be issued on an "accelerated" basis (compared to regular visas). My mother and law got hers (for a short visit, some years ago) in about a week, if I recall correctly, though she obviously did not have the marriage of convenience worry. If I were you I would make the application. | |
| Aug 16, 2018 at 14:58 | comment | added | Ines | Phoog and @MJeffryes, thank you so much for your inputs. That's reassuring to know that overall they don't have grounds to deny me on the basis of the previous warning, but I agree that the (however slight) possibility of the stressful entry does give me anxiety. We have substantial proof of the genuine nature of the relationship (I've been gathering photos, chat & phone logs, letters from family, travel tickets, etc. for the FP application), but the suspicion of a marriage of convenience was something I was worried could be flagged and cause a hold up at the border. | |
