The very first thing you need to do is to STOP worrying so much ! You have been married for quite some time, have a daughter and there is every reason for the ECO to believe that your marriage is not that of convenience and thats your strogest point.

As for the place where you should apply from, I don't think that really matters. I would rather suggest you do it from Hungary because it can be presumably quicker than in Italy ( because of bigger number of applications )

Whether you work in Hungary or not is irrelevant as long as you have enough money in your account ( which should ideally be a joint account between you and your wife ). How much depends on many things and I am sure you will never get a fixed estimate of how much is enough because its upto the ECO to decide if the money is enough or not but usually, if you have money for three months of your expenses in UK, that should be safely called as enough.

As for that flat, you need to search a bit on the internet. There are lots of estate agencies in UK who do send out some kind of confirmation or a provisional contract once you pay some token money which can state that flat has been reserved for you and once you arrive in UK, you can sign a full contract. I personally am not aware of this procedure but I am sure you can sort it out somehow if you search a bit.

I would suggest not to try getting help from friends/family in accomodation matter because that can create lots of complications.

The time it takes to process the application depends again on more than one things but it doesn't take so long usually. I have seen cases where the family permit was issued on the same day. Just make sure your documents are complete.

I hope I have answered all the questions. Feel free if there is anything else you need to ask.

and in the end once again, its your right to have a family permit and move to UK and no one can deny it to you. They can only make it difficult but you should be ready to fight for your right if needed !

Good luck !

 

Definitely Yes.

You will need the english translation of your marriage certificate. I am not sure if you should get it translated from an authorised translator or just a simple translation on a word document for example from your wife would be enough but you need to find it out from the British embassy in Budapest.

If they don't reply ( which is quite possible ), get it from an authorised translator to save time.

Good luck

 

Hi guys, I think the questions and answers are more than great, I have the same condition, I am Canadian, my wife is Romanian, I live and work in france for +20 years, we have children (are Romanian and canadian), myself I have Permanent Resident card of Romania for all those years, I have no inentiion to become a sitizen of Romania. we are planing to relocate in UK, but we have no exp. in all those matters of immigration.
My question is: can we apply for family permit from canada or not? we will spend this summer in canada then we will be back.
many thanks,
John

 

Of course you can. There is no restriction on the place where you can apply for family permit from but I wouldn't recommend you apply from Canada because that would be with a lot more hassle which you don't need to go through at all.

If you live in France, thats the best place for you to apply from.

Good luck

 

Hi everyone. Im new to this website and found answers really helpful.
Just wanted to ask for advice.
My husband is italian and im non-EEA and visa national. In november we planning to move to UK. What documents do we need in order to receive EEA Family Permit?
We both currenty working in Italy and I have my 5years Residence Permit here. We've been married for 7months. He never lived in UK but I lived for 4 years on student visa before coming to Italy.
In October im flying to Uk on tourist visa for couple of days to get some papers. The job we will have as soon we come to UK through friends of mine. But for visa he need to have it, its a must if I got it right.
We dont have much saving(about£4000 and on my name) so we need employment letter for him. Can it be just Email job offer or kind of written confirmation that some sort of job been offered to him and he expected to come on certain day to begin his job. About place where to stay we can get letter from private landlord. And ofcourse we will be travelling together to UK.
Many thanks
