Hello all! well, I have spoken to the UKBA and the woman i spoke to believes (she doesnt have access to teh caseworkers notes) that my partner doesnt haev enough eveidence from the previous address. We barely had any bills as rates are included. i had my credit card bill coming to the address but th...
Hi Aluter, My partner rang HO over 2 days last week, with no answer, then sent an email. If they is no reply by Monday (my partner is off this week), then I'll ring again. We are def going to resend our application, just waiting for HO rediculous reason for application return. Hopefully by this time...
Hi aluter, When you mention Applying as soon as I can, would I be sending a new eea1 and 2 application with the additional information and mentioning to HO that they are in possession of the remaining evidence? Am going to have my partner ring tomorrow. I did go to my local Sinn Fein office and the ...
Hi isw-London I did in fact order my folder much like you described. I had my cover letter first in a clear plastic sleeve, then the table of context for each folder tab. I not only label each piece of evidence, I indicated the exact number of each document (1 tenancy agreement, 4 rent receipts etc)...
Hi presido2007, We sent an eea1 application for my partner with my eea2 application. Ukba sent both of these back to us. Part of the letter makes me feel that the caseworker didn't look through our file thoroughly and just sent it back to meet a quota. It's probably not the case but when all evidenc...
Hi aluter There is a slight upside if the website still works. My mum sent an e-vite for my family in Canada to meet my partner/finance in October. I also have a card from my future in-laws congratulating us that I had misplaced in a big cleanup of my flat. I hadnt thought of included the engagement...
Hi. Thank you all for your replies. This is the letter I received for HO: (apologies for the long post) “I am writing with regard to your recent request for a Registration Certificate under the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006. In order to obtain a Registration Certificate an EE...
Hi I received my application back with my passports (not bills, etc) and a letter stating the my eea national has not meet the criteria for exercising treaty rights. The letter states that we have not proven we are in a durable relationship. We sent utility bills, phone bills, Internet bills, emails...
I am sooo happy for everyone receiving their coa :) I emailed two days ago I got this reply today: Good Afternoon, Please be advised that I have forwarded your request to the team where your application is currently located. Kind regards Euro I'm not sure what this means and how long I should wa...
Hi aluter Truth be told, I'm wary to contact HO again. They seemed to get irritated the more a person rings. At first I thought that I haven't received anything because my app is as an unmarried partner but since it's not even been looked at, I don't know now. Hopefully I will hear something in a fe...
I rang UKBA. The lady wasnt as helpful today. She asked if i had rang recently. i said i had. She informed me that my application hasnt even been validated so there was no point in ringing and i should just wait until I receive my CoA.
nothing for me yet. as i rang tuesday and was told nothing was happening, i kinda want to ring again to see if there was any changes like aluter had. i just want to know if my CoA has been drafted, then i can relax. (probably not though, as i will then be waiting for my RC lol)
Aluter and heath2006: does this mean there is a slight chance that my COA
may be coming soon too and at the time I rang, the system wasn't updated? I really, really hope so
I rang HO today to inquire about my coa regarding a possible job interview. I have learned my application that was received feb 22 was only logged into the system in the beginning of march. I wonder what sort of impact that has on the wait time for coa and rc's. My coa hasn't been despatched (possib...
Afternoon all. As my sig shows, I'm still waiting for my coa. Today, I was offered a job. Would I be best to email ukba and let them know, or do you think it would make a difference, therefore declining the job? They are willing to hold the job for 2-3 weeks while I can sort out my docs. Also, In al...
Would any of the senior members know if, by going to brazil for a few months, m999 and his wife could apply under Singh? Then an Irish passport isn't needed, correct?
Arghh indeed Aluter! I totally understand about waiting for post. I don't think the postman left my front step before I looked through the post lol. Think I need to relax a bit :) I will certainly let you know if/when I receive my COA. Would you please do the same for me? Good luck to everyone waiti...
M999, I hope that if you chose to get the Irish passport it works out for your family. You may have to weigh the options (costs/time) of moving to the republic for 6 months vs waiting for a passport for a year that, unfortunately, may not secure a residency card. As I'm sure you've read in McCarthy,...
Okay will wait a bit longer thank you all for your advice. It would be wonderful if I was given permission to work but I won't hang all of hopes on it. Waiting is hard, but as my mum has told me many times "a year from now, it won't matter. "
I love this board! You guys are awesome! I hit the 4 week mark today so wasn't in panic mode...yet :) should I email ukba? What would I be best to write to them? I don't need it for work as I applied as an unmarried partner. I am not expecting to be allowed to work. I know there are 2 or 3 other peo...
Thank you both for your help. I will have a think and decide what the best course of action is. Still waiting for COA so no point in making too many plans yet. Am I correct in thinking that when the UKBA states 30 days for COA, they mean 30 working days (so 40 days including weekends)?
I'm Canadian. I don't believe I need a visa for Portugal. Have been to Spain and France and a visa wasn't required willfindvout more details from my mum and weight the options.
Good morning lovely people! I hope we all had a nice weekend. I was wondering if I may gather advice: My mum skyped me yesterday, letting me know that she and my stepdad are moving to Portugal in June for 5-6 months (exact dates to be confirmed once flights are booked). My mum asked if would be able...
To heath2006, as we applied the same day, I have a feeling we should be receiving our coa by the end of this week (I hope so, anyways). fingers crossed for us. Bil123, I think you may need to wait another week for your coa. I hope you get it before then but from the ppl who have received it, it take...
