My 23 year old American daughter (Polly) is living in London on a
soon-to-expire student visa. She and her Swedish boyfriend (Patrik)
plan to marry in Sweden and return to London (where they both work)
with an EEA Family Permit (VAF1). They would like to stay there for
about a year, while Patrik figures out where he'd like to continue his
education.
We are all confused about the process, and hope that someone with
recent experience can answer these questions:
- Does Patrik, the Swede, also have to fill in an application for the
Permit? (The form itself says that if they are travelling together,
each needs to complete a form... but wouldn't that potentially create
two interviews, possibly at different times?)
- Do you know how long it usually takes to get the Permit after the
interview in Stockholm?
If you can offer any tips about the process, we would be hugely
grateful.
Many thanks,
Karen
