The plot thickens... I have contacted a solicitor about this issue and here is his response: Under Article 7(1)(b) of Directive 2004/38, the UK is allowed to require EEA nationals exercising residence rights in the UK based on self-sufficiency to provide proof of comprehensive sickness insurance cov...
Thank you Jambo, I will write to the case worker and see what happens. It is interesting to see that in the document you sent me it clearly states that in the case of self-sufficiency, the non-EEA family member is required to hold CSI also. However, there is no explicit statement as to whether in th...
Hi Jambo, Thank you for your reply. I do have the case workers name but they did not provide any contact details (such as e-mail or phone number). Would you be able to advise me on the best way to contact them? Could you point me to the clause in the law that states my wife does not need to be cover...
Thanks Obie, Is it possible to do both? Do you not have to re-send the EEA passport with the appeal as well as the re-submission? Do you know how one goes about submitting a reconsideration with new supporting documentation (i.e my wife's insurance policy?) They have also withheld her passport and a...

I would just like to add that I have red the following FAQ posted by Jambo: QUOTE Q6: What is CSI and do I need it? CSI stands for Comprehensive Sickness Insurance and under EEA regulations is required to be held by EEA national who exercise treaty rights as a student and self sufficient. In the cas...
Hi All, I am an Italian citizen currently studying as the PhD student in the UK. My wife, who is a Turkish citizen, joined me in the UK through an EEA family permit after which we applied for an RC. The application dates are as follows: App sent:21/2/14 Received:22/2/14 COA received:26/2/14 RC:Refus...
Hi bdalp, I am in a very similar situation to you. I am also an Italian citizen and my wife is Turkish. We got refused on the same grounds today (i.e no CSI for her). Which is really infuriating because I had already sent proof that I was covered with private insurance and had contacted the UKBA ask...
