Hi reda, so did you again call them today? what what is the news,,,but I believe if she already told you(yesterday) then soon you will get COA,,,I hope.
Can I just ask,,if you applied for EEA4 based on your marriage(5 years), thanks

Hi zubby007, To be eligible for PR as a non EEA, you must have been resined(with your EEA spouse) in the UK for a minimum of 5 yrs and your EEA spouse been exercising treaty right throughout those 5 yrs. I'm afraid you will have to complete this period. All 5 yrs have to be proved by evidence(docume...

Hi Nz made, congratulations,,,but im little bit confused how come u applied on 09/02/2012 received HO 12/02/2012 but u received your COA dated 09/02/2012(when u just submitted).

Hi reda, it has been almost 5 weeks u applied for PR and u haven't received COA yet!!! u should call HO,,,unless u still have RC valid so HO knows u don't need any confirmation from HO stating u r eligible for work.

Hi joy2006,
It's a good news, hopefully soon the postman will bang ur door lol.
By the way did u mention when exactly(date) u applied for PR?

All I was asking was,,, been in a relation with EEA for 2 years before marriage counts for 5 yrs regulations for PR or not,,,,some people just had work permit(lived together 5 yrs) and after refusal they got the PR.
That is not family member but partner in relationship.

Hi joy2006,
Thanks mate, I already have RC and im employed so I dont have problem but still dont like waiting:(

MelC, Sorry for confusing u but I just want to know, whether when I joined my spouse by only living with her,,,am I a family member or not? just to know im eligible for PR or not. I seen cases people in same as my situation(2 yrs together and 3 yrs married) but had work permit only and got PR(after ...

Hi all,

Hi all can some1 explain about 10 yrs lawful residency applying for ILR, do u have to have visa for last 10 yrs or as long as u provide residency bills u dont have to provide any visa for last 10 yrs,,,,many thanks

Hi again, please pay ur attention, do u have any knowledge. They say by having a RC or Family permit then u r a family member of EEA, so how come a lot of cases after they have refusal for PR they appeal and they win, based on they lived together and exercising treaty for 5 yrs and the unmarried non...

,,

Thanks for reply, So documents can be bills and the paper with both names u have mentioned. So does these 2 years before marriage + 3 years marriage = PR ? 2 yrs living together and then get married and continues marriage for 3 yrs is 5 yrs for PR. I believe it is must so many different opinion on t...

Hi all,,,,,,could you please explain. How do you prove a durable relationship?

If the couple(non EEA+EEA) not married but live together and EEA exercise treaty right and have all the evidence..... is this called family member of EEA?
What is exactly a durable relationship?

Hi ys704, Directive, can u please help I have a kind of same situation: I married my EEA on 11/2008 and had my RC 07/2009 (which both r less than 5 yrs) but we been living together for over 5yrs and I spoked to different HO staff and they said that I can apply for PR based on 5 yrs resident together...

HO advisor before told me that I dont have to be married 5 yrs o...

owobaba,
So how about if my wife(EEA national) apply for BC(she is eligible) and can I apply too after she gets her BC.
As if u(non EEA) r a member or married to BC for 3yrs u can apply for PR or in 4yrs u can apply for BC.
Am I right?
Please share ur information.

I sent it through a solicitor but I believe mine will be refused ((

Yeh married in UK but on 11/2008 and got my RC 07/2009 so its only 3yrs from marriage and less than 3 yrs but we lived together just over 2 yrs, I guess my application will be refused.

Received by HO on 27/02/2012
COA still waiting...

Have u called them yet.....I guess no but r u planing to call them in future.
