:Help: We have been getting everything ready for fiancee visa application but after reading sponsors notes I now see that as an Irish National I need evidence of "permanent residence in the uk". I rang the Home Office and was told I would have to apply on the EEA 3 form , but it could take anything up to six months to process .We were hoping to apply for fiancee visa in June but we will have to put it on hold until "residence" status has been granted.I have 20 year +work record which I thought would have been ample evidence.Any ideas appricated.
