So just an update to my case.. I sent in a reconsideration request which I never heard back from. I then sent a new application as well as lodging my appeal. Babz in this forum had success with applying again while also having an open appeal. I received a new COA today from the new application but i...

Hi Babs sorry one more question. When you reapplied did you tell them you had an open appeal from the last application?

Cheers

Hi, I tried emailing M Clarke she has an out of office on that she is on holidays and you shouldn't email her direct. Yes I know it is not written in the guidance notes anywhere so it is very annoying. But this is the reason they have given so it doesnt leave me with much choice except to appeal and...

The lack of joint bank accounts shouldn't be an issue, as the EEA national may rely on the resources of family members ( 4(2), 4(3), 4(4) ). However, it's more complicated . Unfortunately, the non-EAA family members cannot work before the EEA national is a qualified person ( 71 ). Put another way, ...

Hi Babs, Ahh OK. I hope that wont make a difference. My first application was to liverpool but new applications have to go to dagnam now I hope that wont be a problem? On your new application did you send your passport again? Hopefully they share information as my reconsideration request has gone to...

Hi Babs, Thats great thanks for your reply! Ok so I sent my reconsideration request today. I will submit my appeal online tomorrow then I will also send off a new application on Monday.. Fingers crossed I have the same fast turn around as you did! Was your original application to liverpool then your...

Hi Babs, When your EEA was rejected did you still have some other leave to remain to be in the UK? Or did it expire while your EEA was being decided? I am just wondering if I can only reapply if I still have valid leave to remain (such as Tier One) I want to do what you did... Ask for reconsideratio...

Hi Soniac,
Thank you very much for your reply. That is really great news I really hope your husband gets his RC without having to do the appeal!

Good luck

Hi, How do you send a reconsideration request? Did you submit new evidence to the HO? Was your original application refused and everything sent back to you? I just need to show them myself and my wife now have joint bank accounts so I am very interested in how you do this? Thank you, Londonguy.

Hi Everyone, Can I apply for ILR instead of the EEA? I would easily get the ILR now because I did apply for it last year however on the old rules where you couldnt be out of the UK for more then 6 months over the five years however now you can be out for 6 months for every year. Or can I not apply n...

Hi, Ok yes I found it... I agree its not very comprehensive! I am not sure how I would word a complaint correctly. I will ask the Lawyer today to help me write a complaint to the email address. Yes I did make notes of the points you made. Yes I definitely agree its ridiculous! bureaucracy (or possib...

How do I complain though? To whom?

Yes I will definitely appeal as well...

Hi, I emailed her because my EEA application had been outstanding longer than six months without hearing anything back. She replied back that she would get one of her team to look at it. Then I got the refusal back within a few days. Its very annoying that most likely my application was just sitting...

Hi,
Thanks very much for the replies!

If I appeal and keep my passport and go on holiday the only think I am not sure of is how do I get back into the UK?

They will ask how I am living here. My old tier one has expired. I cant exactly tell them to let me in as a tourist...


Londonguy

Oh yes sorry I understand!

I guess the only problem is our holidays are booked for four weeks time.

I am guessing when I reapply I will have to wait another 6 months?

Hi,
What exactly do you mean by "residence documentation" ?

Cheers,

Londonguy

Hi, Yes its a little bit frustrating not being able to travel for 6 months then still get it denied because of something like this. Now I will miss our family summer holiday as well. Actually I would be interesting in opinions on this. I could appeal and send a new application then request my passpo...

Hello, Thank you very much for your replies. Yes we have private fully comp Bupa medical Insurance for myself, my wife and our baby daughter through the company I work for. So we were covered in that respect. Directive - Thats what I was thinking. I think I need to appeal in order to keep working. T...

Hi Sheraz,
Thank you for your reply. Do you think I should bother appealing? Or just reapply?


Thank you for your help,

Hi sheraz,
Thank you for your reply.

Do you know the answers to any of my questions? Regarding if I can still work or not?


Cheers,

Hi, So my EEA2 was denied today. I am Australian and my wife is from the Czech Republic. My wife doesn't work she looks after our baby daughter. I applied for EEA2 through my wife with her exercising treaty rights as self sufficient. Dates were: Applied : Jan 14th 2013 COA : Feb 2nd 2013 Emailed HO ...

Wow that really sucks...

Thanks for the info..

Hi Vinny, OK I read that link. So am I correct in thinking the following? My Tier one expires April 30th 2013. Say I am unlucky and my EEA2 is denied after April 30th. I then have 28 days to apply (or be granted?) a ILR or a Teir one extension? As in the 28 days will start from when my EEA was denie...

Hi Vinny, I decided not to try for my ILR again because I had taken too many holidays. So instead because my wife is Czech I decided to get an EEA2 visa instead. But not that my friend got denied I am very scared they might deny my EEA2 visa and I want to know what fall back options I could have... ...

Hi, I am currently on a Tier One visa which expires April 30th. I applied for EEA2 in Jan. I think my Tier one will expire before I get my EEA2 back. I am now a little worried if my EEA2 is denied can I then try to extend my Tier one? Or wont I be able to because my Tier one has expired? Also my fri...
