All clear!
Thanks for the replies guys

Hi guys, I've a quick question. I'm a Residence Card owner and my unmarried partner is a QP. We have just moved to a new home and updated our address practically everywhere, including on hmrc.gov.uk etc.. Now, I've called Home Office and they told me I don't need to update anything on their side as ...

The reason that Section 3C does not apply is because EEA applications are not requests for leave to remain, but merely confirmation of a right to stay in the UK. But for EFMs, such a right to stay in the UK is not pre-existing. It only comes into existence when the Home Office confirms it. So, betw...

So, between the time of the end of your T5 visa and the grant of a Residence Card, I believe that you will be an overstayer. Thank you for the hint secret.simon. That is a very interesting point I hadn't thought about. But, as it's not specified, should there be some point a could rise in my favour...

All right! I got it! ... and yes, it's addressed me!
Thank you both

I see what you mean and I'll take the risk I guess

Out of topic: if biometrics letter is received that means I've been accepted right?

oh I see. My understanding though is that I'll be issued with a "short" COA.. what that means? I need to admit I couldn't easily find clear rules for EU migration. I was treating them as equals. Should be also a question of common sense foe me. If I made an application for a RC I should ha...

If your EFM RC is refused and the current visa has expired by that time then you will be an overstayer. And as an EFM you are not going to be issued a COA that confirms a right to work. You will have to wait for your RC for such confirmation of status. Thanks for the info noajthan, I wasn't aware t...

Hey CR001, Thank you for helping out! I did some more researchers and found this: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-rights/immigration/stay-in-uk/overstayed-visa/ So I guess, as I did the request 3 months before my visa expires, I still have those 90 days. For working I saw the only thing is...

Unmarried Partner!

Hi guys, Hope this is the right section and this question has not been asked too many times (I couldn't find it)! I'm a visa-national that have her Tier-5 expiring on the 28th of August this year. I've applied for a RC (EEA/EFM route). I'll probably receive my RC around October/November. Could I sta...
