It is what it is, I mean you can't hold a gun to your employers head and demand that he puts you down as a permanent employee, you can't provide photo's if you don't have them etc. etc. However what you have provided seems fairly comprehensive. I'd just submit the lot and hope for the best and relax...
As I understand it, once you have got the RC you can travel freely in and out of the UK, provided it is stamped in your passport.

Hi folks I am in the process of applying for the EEA2 for my wife and understand that a COA will be issued by the Home Office. My question is, can one travel with it?
