I would keep a copy of the COA, send them the original by "Recorded Post" and accompany both with a cover letter, this way you can track your mail in case it get's lost in limbo.

Hi Emilia,

Congratulations on your new status. I believe you will need to apply for a visa to go to any EEA nation , if you take your partner's passport or ID with you to the embassy, it should be free. You may now go through the EU queue when coming back to the UK.

Congratulations mate, hope you enjoy your new freedom and i wish everyone waiting for favourable results including myself, God's favours and mercies towards their PR.

Interesting topic. Surely, someone out there should have tried this route. Whoever you are, please share your experience.

I just got my EEA4 COA on friday 30th of July 2010, submitted since 11th of MAY 2010.

I've read about some EEA4 applicants being issued with a further 5 years RC. Since PR is automatic after 5 years, Will this person be able to apply for BC one year after or does the person have to wait another 5 years then apply for PR?

Any ideas?

I believe you're still a family member of the EEA national until Decree Absolute, so if your 3 years falls betweendivorce initiation and decree absolute, you're covered.

Hi,
As the RC is no longer valid, will the OP be able to travel out of the country?
