No, since you were issued with FP, you have the same rights as your EEA national. You are wrong in saying that without actual visa in your pocket you have no rights. You have a valid visa, you applied within validity of the same therefore your stay extends for up to six months while it is under con...
This is what it says for my clients who applied for a pre-settled status: CERTIFICATE OF APPLICATION This certificate of application confirms receipt of your valid application under the EU Settlement Scheme. You will receive a decision shortly. You can continue to rely on any rights you have as an ...
So your COA should state that you are residing legally in the UK while your case is under consideration. The CoA doesn't say anything like that. In the guidance notes (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/778952/processes-and-procedures-for...
EEA Regulations 2016 state the following: Extended right of residence 14.—(1) A qualified person is entitled to reside in the United Kingdom for as long as that person remains a qualified person. (2) A person (“P”) who is a family member of a qualified person residing in the United Kingdom under pa...
You are legally residing in the UK while your case is under consideration. Once you submitted a Residence Card application, Home Office sent an email with your Case ID number confirming that they received it and that your case will be considered within 6 months. Thanks. The part I don't understand ...
I spoke with an immigration lawyer, the short answer is that her advice was to remain in the country while the RC application is being processed. It sounds like UK and EU law is a really unclear mess, if you stay and the application gets rejected, then you are overstaying after the FP permit expires...
I know that Section 3C allows you to remain and potentially work when you are waiting for a visa application to be processed, but it does not apply for EEA applications like a residence card. Does it apply for EU Settlement applications however? EU Settlement seems to me is a UK law, not an EU right...
Is there a problem with the timing of asking for the documents back? for example if you ask too early (before the biometrics letter or CoA) does it cause more problems than asking later? Not really. You can request your passport as soon as you can and they will still not send it back before you hav...
Another option that might be possible, is if I receive a biometrics letter & confirmation of application before my current visa expires, I assume this will allow remaining in the UK while the RC is being processed, and it might allow working, but there seems to be very few guarantees with this. ...
Thanks for the helpful suggestions 1) can a non-EEA person (me) who has a permit as a Extended Family Member, remain and work in the UK after the 6 month FP expiry date? or is this overstaying the visa I'm not 100% sure so I'll let someone else confirm (my humble guess would be no, you likely cannot...
Hi, i'm currently in the UK and working under a EEA Family Permit, as an unmarried partner of an EEA national (this is an extended family member EFM permit). I've submitted a EEA(EFM) residence card application, however it looks like my Family Permit will expire before the residence card application...
