Re: EEA2 / FM-EFM Discussion thread

hi everyone! so with the results of Brexit now in, with a vote to leave - what does that mean for all of us that are still waiting on our applications to work in UK via EU channels? Does this change anything? In short no, divorce hasn't happened. Referendum is not an EU process and it's not even le...

Hi All,

I was wondering about working in another EU country (for a UK-based company) whilst with a COA with the right to work from an EEA(EFM) application. This wouldn't be permanent work but a work trip of 1 or 2 days.

Is this possible?

Not recomendable?

Re: EEA (EFM) (Unmarried partner)residence card application

Apparently, as long as you are and extended family member of an European Citizen and the HO is considering giving you a RC you cannot work until they issue the RC. I am not sure about your case since you keep a valid student visa while they will issue you with a Coa without the right to work. My gu...

Just thought up some more questions. I've been reading that section 3c does not apply for EEA applications. Once I receive my COA and I don't have the right to work what will my working status be? I will at the same time have a tier 4 visa that allows me to work and a COA that does not allow me to w...

In between Tier 4 and EEA(EFM) COA

Dear All,

I've recently finished my studentship on a Tier4 visa that is still valid.

I've applied to the EEA(EFM) Residence Card, 6+ weeks ago. I have not received biometrics or COA.

I can work from my Tier4 visa. Is this still valid? Or is it annulled? I'm unsure what my current state is.
