My wife got the same message after her interview at the british deputy high commission.

@justwise am back again,my wife went to submit the additional documents,on getting there,it was a man that checked it and said he was going to give it to the woman that interviewed my wife,that she would come out,that my wife should wait,then my wife said they started giving announcements for meeting,she said all the staffs went for the meeting and she awaiting over an hour,until the man came out and said they are still in a meeting and that she should go and her documents would be ready for collection within a weeks time,but neither saying if she was granted the visa or denied.

justwise:
Let her go with all those documents requested, its even a good thing that those documents are requested because some people get refused without given the opportunity to submit more material

Thank you justwise,you have really lifted my spirits,I really do appreciate

@justwise,my wife went for the interview and she said she was grilled,she said she was asked series of questions,but what the interviewer told her was she needs to bring a bill in her name showing my address in the uk,that she has lived there before and bring more pictures,she should bring all those on Monday btw 10-2pm,that she's going to decide on the application on Monday.@justwise please is this looking like a refusal

justwise:
Then there is nothing else, ask your wife to go with photo copies of those documents

Ok,thank you so much

That's what I sent to her,and my wife told me the lady she spoke with told her to bring any other information from my workplace and her interview is on Thursday for 9

My wife was called for an interview on Thursday and she was told to bring any other form of identification for my workplace,and also bring her slip that she would use to collect her documents. I don't know what to send to her again,as she has submitted everything I sent to her,please justwise I need assistance

It could just be an error, maybe someone is looking at your application and has sent you this automatically generated message again by mistake.

Yes, I would advise that you apply again. On the website it says that you must provide proof that you’re financially dependant on your family member in the UK if you’re applying as their dependent extended family member. For spouse all you need to provide is your marriage certificate, passport number of the UK spouse along with a letter from yourself inviting your spouse to stay and their passport. I expect this is all done online now so just make sure in any statement that you make that you note that your wife is applying as your spouse not dependant.

Thank you so much for taking time out to reply me

girlfio:
What you need to do is basically have a bank statement that shows money leaving your account, the same amount being deposited in your friends account and then that exact amount being transferred in to your wife's account in Nigeria. These transactions would need to show consistently over a period of time and would have to include a letter from your friend explaining your agreement. If you don't have these documents, it might be an idea to start sending money directly to your wife for the next few months, keep your records and then apply again.

I'm also not too sure why your application has been refused for that reason, as long as she is your spouse and you are exercising your treaty rights e. working or studying that should be all you need to prove. If you google EEA visa spouse and go on the UKBA website, this dependency requirement is not included for a spouse.

Thank you very much for your reply, yes I have searched endlessly for where the rules states my wife has to be dependent on me,and there's noting of such,I was thinking of my wife reapplying and stating out the rules on eea family permit.

justwise:
Yes she has to and you need to take your time and explain in details the money transfer issue....that you pay your friend in the UK in cash who then pay your wife in naira because he has naira account in Nigeria.

Thank you very much for taking time out to answer my question

justwise:
Will he be able to print out those transfer history and write a letter to confirm that you pay him in cash?

I think he should be able to do that,does my wife need to print her account statement too

justwise:
Will you be able to provide evidence of those money transactions? That is...money you paid into your friend,s account in the UK and evidence of his transfer to your wife in Nigeria?

I give him cash and he makes the transfer directly into my wife's account

Hi everyone,am new here,my wife applied for eea family permit from nigeria,and she was refused because they said that my wife is not wholly or mainly dependent on me,or if my wife is it is a dependency of necessity rather than choice,there is no evidence of regular bank transfer or bank statement.they am not satisfied my wife needs the finicial support of me to meet her essential needs in nigeria.
When my wife made the application,I wrote a cover letter stating that instead of sending money to my wife through western union and paying the charges,I have a colleague at work in London to has a gtbank account,I give him pounds and he transfers the money immediately to my wife's account,as am not nigerian,but Portuguese,but the mistake we made was that my wife didn't include her bank statement,as the recipients name on her account statement won't reflect mine but my friends name
How do I tackle this,please I need answers,as I need my wife to join me in the uk.
