Example case: Proving Cohabitation for the “Family Member of an EU Citizen” Residence Permit
In an ongoing case involving a request for a titre de séjour marked as “membre de la famille d’un citoyen de l’UE” (family member of an EU citizen), the applicants faced the challenge of proving their cohabitation. The couple in question, not being married or in a civil partnership, was required to demonstrate that they had been living together for at least five years. This proof is essential to establish the necessary familial link for the residence permit.
To meet this requirement, we assisted the couple in meticulously gathering and organizing various documents dating back to at least 2019. These documents included utility bills, healthcare records, and official documents that indicated a shared residence, such as driving licenses. Additionally, they provided joint bank account statements and other relevant evidence to substantiate their claim of continuous cohabitation. This case highlights the critical importance of thorough documentation in immigration procedures, especially when formal legal bonds like marriage are absent
