EU Permit after wedding, previously refused Marriage visitor visa [closed]

If I were you, I would (of course) mention the refusal when asked. I would not address the validity of that refusal, nor of the evidence on which it was based, unless asked.

For an EEA family permit, you're only supposed to have to establish a limited number of facts:

1. Your identity,
2. The EU, EEA, or Swiss nationality of your family member,
3. Your relationship to your family member, and
4. That your family member either
   • has been in the UK for less than three months or
   • is a "qualified person."

Because your marriage is relatively recent, it is a good idea to include the evidence you mention showing the history of your relationship. Aside from that, all you should have to show are the documents needed to establish the above facts:

1. Your passport,
2. Your spouse's passport or national ID card,
3. Your marriage certificate, and
4. Evidence showing that your spouse is employed in the UK.

I'm glad to let you know of the successful outcome of my application. We are both very excited and finally get to live together under one roof.

Here is some info about my application, hope this helps!

So I filled out the application under Other Non-Settlement visa from the UK government website. I included information regarding our circumstances, long-distance relationship and meeting in the UK as students four years ago, details of our vacations in the past. It was critical that I added the information regarding my previous refusal, however, I did not go about countering it, I only mentioned that there was a refusal due to X reason and that I will be happy to submit supporting documents during any intervention from UKBA in the future.

Here are the documents that I submitted :

• Passport
• Marriage certificate with apostille stamp
• National IDs, mine and his
• ILR document(Husband is from Cyprus and recently applied for ILR due to Brexit)
• Payslips of my partner
• Employment contract of my partner
• Rental contract of my partner in the UK
• Photos of our wedding and vacations, I submitted 15 photographs
• Chats screenshots of 2 years, I submitted 50 screenshots
• Hotels and flight bookings of our vacations
