hi guys,

i am happy to say my wife is now here in the uk with me after nearly 2 years apart.

she is here on an era family permit visa, as I am Irish, living here in uk practising freedom of movement.

my wife is no putting her residence card application together, for which she must submit both our passports.

Unlike for the EEA family permit visa, it does appear as if I(the sponsor) can submit a certified copy of my passport as a substitute of the real passport.

Have a look here to see what I mean: https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-a-uk-re...u-must-provide

I need my passport at all times for business travel, has anyone got any ideas of how I get around this issue?

Thanks,
ed
