Hello

The EEA permit for my wife took 7 days from the day of application that was from the Embassy in Nairobi.

 

Hi Oct,

It took me about three weeks to get an EEA family permit from the British High Commission in Lagos. There was a two and half week waiting period.

I was given a two year permit.

 

Hi oct2002,
Treaty rights basically means economically active in the your settled country as an EC citizen.
You can get married here in the UK with a COA(Certificate of Approval) if granted by the HO with a fee of £135.
He must have at least 3 month left in his Visa if he usually have a mix 6 months.
On the alternative both of you have to go to Nigeria,get married and make an application to BHC for a EEA family permit.
Since you are on income support,that you have to find out from the appropriate authorities.

 

about a week and without any problems wish u all the best
