    Hi,

    My girlfriend and I would like to apply for an Unmarried Partner Visa using the EEA2 form.
    I'm Italian and she's American but we've been living together here in the UK for about 4.5 years now. During this time she has been on different full-time student visas, the last of which will expire at the end of October.

    I was working until July but have been out of a job since, while she's still currently employed full-time. We are "self-sufficient" as we both receive money from our parents to support us (we have bank statements as proof) and we're not claiming any benefits.
    I plan on finding a job as soon as possible (and can provide proof that I've been looking for one during this time) but I'm just concerned that, due to the little time that we have left till her visa expires I won't be able to find a well paying job (therefore making it look like we're not self-sufficient) or no job at all.

    She is however earning a decent wage so I'm wondering whether it would be a better idea to put her work details in SECTION 4 (Employment) and state that I'm being supported by her or if we should complete SECTION 7 (Economically self-sufficient) provide bank statements and get a comprehensive sickness insurance.

    What do you think would be the safest option? Have any of you successfully applied for this visa as an unmarried spouse?
    Thanks!

    I only just saw your posting, so don't know what your present status is. However,I note that you say your American girlfiend is a student, but is working full time. That is illegal in the UK. A student visa holder may not work more than 20 hours a week during term time or more than 40 hours a week during holiday time.Students who exceed those hours are in breech of their visa conditions and when found out will result in immediate visa cancellation and deportation.An employer who employs a student for more than the permitted hours is currently liable to a fine of £10,000 but the government has announced that this amount will be increased substantially.It is also likely that the privilege of allowing foreign non-EAA students to work part-time will be withdrawn as the UK has more than sufficient overseas applications without it. You may be interested to know that an EU citizen is complicit in an illegal act in the UK can be deported. Ignorance of the law is no excuse for not complying with it.
    You cannot claim self-sufficiency unless you income is enough to maintain both yourself and your non-EAA partner without you working at all. Hers does not count.
