The CoA is essentially a Letter with Certificate of Application in bold at the top. It states the 6 month rule, asks the applicant not to contact the UKBA and at the bottom of my letter states that they cannot confirm my right to work. (I applied as an unmarried partner). On the back of the CoA it h...

Well now, I feel silly... When I opened the post from Ukba, I read everything to quickly and thought that the 3 statements on the back if my coa ALL applied to me. After going back I realise I was wrong and they were general statements. Thank you for replying

Hello all I have recvd my COA today and my partners EEA1 cert. on my COA it states "The applicant has not provided satisfactory evidence of his or her identity or his or her relationship to the EU citizen". Am wondering if anyone has had that on their COA? Could my app be return/rejected? ...

Am so glad we now know that we dont need to register! I was at the Citizens Advice Bureau, Sinn Fein and The Irish Culture Center trying to find out :) at least it gave me something to do today :) was looking at the rules and it states: • You must have been living on the island of Ireland for at lea...

Hi Johannf I have rung the INIS number which gave me a second number that didnt work. there isnt an email address but you can write a letter. I have rung the Garda National Immigration Bureau in Dublin but there was no answer. Their email is gnib_dv@garda.ie Based on past experience with this email ...

Hi samelamin, not sure if you saw but I sent you a pm.

I have read the bit about the garda on the inis website. Will look into it and let you know what I find. Hopefully someone else has an answer for you. Sorry I jumped the gun to answer

Hi johannf I googled the requirements and this website is what I found http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/moving_country/irish_citizenship/becoming_an_irish_citizen_through_marriage.html It doesn't mention the registering with the garda. I think the registration is for citizenship by naturalizatio...

Aluter, I am SOOO happy for you! It must be such a relief to have everything sorted now. I'm resending a new app this Friday so hopefully it will be sorted as quickly as yours congratulations again

Thank you Jambo and EUsmile - I understand the difference and what benefits are had with PR

I think that we will re-organise our evidence with a detailed cover letter.

I am confused regarding why PR does not matter for my partner but matters to me.

Kitty, I don't think he realised about PR, nor did I. I thought the uk and ireland had a mutal agreement for their citizens to move and work freely without a need to require PR. I am obviously very wrong I take it we should sent an eea3 with my eea2?

We are planning to get married oct 2013. That was because we hoped to have me working for a year or so before. I don't think a quickly marriage would look good to the ukba right now, even with our evidence.

To Directive - we are un-married. My EU partner has been continuously working at his job since 2004. No need to make a claim, I would think. I am now wondering if I did not lay out my evidence as clearly as I thought I had. But the ukba haven't done a stellar job either. To EUsmile - as stated above...

Hi Directive I have re-read the letters and may have intrepreted the first letter incorrectly. I took the letter to say we could re-submit an application but we werent rejected, just needed more documentation. I was obviously wrong. Here are the two letters we have recieved, the first dated March 29...

We did include an (at the time) recent pay slip along with a letter from the employer. We will be sending the most recent pay slip as well. We received a letter with our returned docs saying the ukba 'found additional documents' but they were not enough to overturn the decision and 'our rejection st...

thank you for your input isw-london. I understand what you are saying about organising the folder. UKBA actually sent the remaining application (evidence, bills, emails etc) back to us today so i am now able to put everything together and re-label everything. i originally labelled the docs as follow...

Hi sjimoh112 I did indeed receive a letter stating that if 'we wish to re-apply, do so' when we have new documents. I feel that the application is straight forward but the UKBA seem to be sending mixed messages. They ask for a new apPlication, but have kept our previous documentation. Hopefully, onc...

Thank you for your help. We are staying indefinitely in Ireland. I have been here since 2007 but sadly it doesn't count towards my time as I never registered myself with the Garda. (didn't realise I had too)

Thank you again

sorry, forgot to mention: This letter is from my partner who is the EEA national. they wrote him saying he didnt prove a durable relationship with me or prove Treaty Rights. I have compiled as much new info as i can but as the letter was so vague, i worry we have missed the mark... Oh, and with this...

Good morning, I know this letter is a bit long but was hoping that someone may be able to go over it and let me know if i should change anything about it. I am about to re-apply for EEA1 and 2 and dont want to give the UKBA ANY reason to return it again `To Whom It May Concern I am writing this lett...

Thank you. I can't believe I didn't think of those. Thank you again

Hello Recently, my partner received a letter from the ukba stating that more evidence of relationship and exercising treaty rights was required. I have complied as many docs as possible, letters from family and possibly my partners job contract for his recent promotion. I have written a cover letter...
