I need someone to guild me better on EEA family permit application. I'm married with an Irish citizen with a child. We live in Dublin and want to relocate to London to start a new life and to work there. I don't want to go through the back doors( Belfast border) I want to apply for EEA family permit in a right way. The question is my wife has applied for NI ( National insurance) in UK since last year but not living or working there; can this be an issue.. Also I have lived in UK before in which i was overstayed before leaving to join my wife here in Ireland. Can i have be refused because of this? And on the form they request for my eu national work details, what should i write there... I just want to get everything right cos i want to apply by end of April so we moved by May ending to London.
She has attended some interview in job agency in London in which they have accepted her and waiting for us to moved in. what documents should i provide to submit with my application..
I hope to hear from someone to help me here.
Thanks
Michael

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Your wife and child have no problem; they have the right to live and work in the UK.

For yourself, the details on how to apply for an EEA visa to enter the UK are described on the UK Gov website; this link will take you there.

As for the rest of your story; it's complicated (I don't understand some of it) and the fact that you have knowingly in the past deliberately broken the laws of the UK and may well have outstanding prosecutions waiting for you if you came back here, will make it difficult, if not impossible for you. My advice is to seek the advice of an immigration lawyer.

Hope this helps.

Was your passport stamped or marked saying you overstayed? I am no expert, but if not you might be lucky and have no problem.

Thanks for the replied... As far as am concerned and with what i read about the family of eea law ... My immigration history has no impact on Eea family permit law, I think been a family of an eea has over ruled all my immigration history since i didnt have any criminal record. I have never been arrested before by any authority like immigration and police , I left UK willingly after i made an application to extend my stay and was rejected in other to extend my working permit . My passport doesn't have any stamped showing am overstayed. I'm even going to apply on my new passport where i have Irish residence stamp with my stamp 4 residence card.

Well from what you have told us, I don't think you have anything to worry about as you have done everything by the book.

In that case, the link I previously supplied (Post 2) will explain and take you through the process.

If you have any further specific questions, please come back to us.

Best of luck with your journey.

Yeah thanks for the advice.. If applying , do i need to put my child passport and birth certificate in the application when applying or i should just put everything about my wife alone. Also do i need support letter from my wife when applying since we both live together and also want to travel together. How long does it take the application to come out...
Hope to hear from you.
Thanks for the help ...

There is a form you have to complete as part of this process; amongst a whole lot of other information it asks for, it does ask you about your wife and children. It also asks for proof of marriage etc, so you will probably need apostilled copies of any relevant marriage/birth certificates. If they ask for passports, they have to be the originals - no country issues copies of passports.

I strongly recommend that you thoroughly read the link I previously provided (post 2); it answers all of the questions you've just asked; it also provides a link related to processing times (I just tried it and it's not working at the moment).

Hope this helps.
