Hey guys,
I am a Norwegian citizen and have been living
with my partner (Australian) in London since May 2013,
I have a queries regarding applying for family immigration, specifically
the "residence cards for family members of EU/EEA citizens", and as such,
are planning to get married within the next month or two.
Is it possible for us to start the visa application before getting married?
Is it possible for her to go back to Australia for some months before
we meet in Norway?
If so, can she apply from the UK before going back to Australia, or
does she have to apply from Australia?
Can I during that time stay in another EU country (e.g. Germany)?
Or does it make more sense to apply for the fiance permit (although
we will have to work out overstaying here / from Australi)?
She has previously taken an exchange year in Norway, and
has a "personnummer." Also, since she is Australian, she can
enter and stay Norway for up to 90 days.
The information on the UDI (utlendingsdirektoratet) is very confusing.
I really appreciate any help that can be given!
Sincerely
Luigi
