Hello!

I have got question regarding how to fill in the EEA2 residence card. I am not eea member, living in UK since aug 2013 and married with eea member, which living here withing 15 years. My visa (eea family member) expire soon. In the eea2 application first part is an Applicant's details, after in section 2 about family members, section 3 is Your national family member. I can't understand shall I put details about my husband? If yes, then where? He doesn't need apply for resid card, it is only for me to stay leggaly in UK.

Could you please clarify for me these sections?

Thanks for your time.

Your husband's details go in Section 3. Any children or other family members living with in the UK who are not EEA citizens go in Section 2. If it's just you and your husband you can leave Section 2 blank.

Hi thank you for fast respond! I also need to know if there some specifies on the EEA2 form?

my husband is italian, I am ukrainian moved here since aug 2013worker and living in UK for 15 yrs, we are married out of Uk in 2013 and have ababy which was born in uk this year.
I mean will I get this card for sure, or can be smth about me?

Which section I have to skip in my case?

I am happy to get any advise!

If your husband is Italian and has been in the UK for 15 years then the chances are that your baby is British. If not then the baby would be Italian. Either way the baby doesn't need to be included on the form so leave Section 2 blank.

Providing you are still fulfilling the conditions of your EEA Family Permit it's unlikely that you won't get your residence card.

Angela I join to comment, really good info!!!

Just be aware that you're not a Surinder Singh case so Angela's list doesn't apply to you.

I am doubting about to send an EEA2, cos here http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/si...df?view=Binary I'v found the paragraph with reasons of refusal cases, they say "the parties to the marriage or civil partnership had resided in the UK for at least one year during the duration of the marriage or civil partnership, or..." but we married on June 2013, so at the moment it's less...
My visa expires on Feb, and, obviously I stay here without any legal doc. But I am still EEA family member, having a baby, which was born here in Nov 2014.

What I can go for to make myself legally protected?

Need your suggestions. Loads of Thanks to everybody who provide any inf.

BritInParis

That's only if you and your husband divorced. It doesn't apply if you're still married.

You are still legal if you remain in the UK without a residence permit but you won't be able to leave the UK (on holiday for example) and return without applying for another EEA Family Permit so it's best to get a residence card as this lasts for five years.

Len4ik

I went to the office about this question, and woman told me that once I leave UK (for holidays or smth...) then on entry again will be enough to provide marriage certificate to prove my status as EEA family member.

Is it like this???

BritInParis

Technically yes, providing your husband is will you, but it's much easier if you have your residence card.

Thank you for help.
