Ukba has recently said time spent under eea regulations cannot be used to add up to 10 year long residence for ilr.
Yes,I ID is acceptable as has already been said.

My solicitor always said "ukba listens to those who cry out loud". The more you push, the faster the work. If not, they would wait and make decisions a day to the 6month rule whereas they could have done so within a week.

I asked because if they returned your passports for urgent travel without any residence card, how do they expect you to come back to UK.

Kofi75 , pls did you have no leave to remain here or you are on a kind of limited leave?

Since when did they start issueing COA with no right to work. For zambrano?
Rahim0171,Can you pls tell us your story if you don't mind.
Thank you

Hi fellow zambrano applicants,
Where are we? Is it still that quiet? Pls keep posting cos pur thread is vanishing from the front page index.
We shall overcome.

That was exactly what I was going to say. I am keeping my expired passport with my new passport. I did not want to go through hell just to transfer stamp. Not worth it.

Do not laminate or do anything to it as it will make it invalid to use. Just put in a clear film envelop n staple envelope to your passport.

This is because the children are citizens of the country their parents have been given right to stay.

I still believe by the time a zambrano parent has been on DR card for 5yrs, it will finally lead to PR. All these cases are not specifically for zambrano though all fall under DR card.

GLH 2012, Did you write to them? If yes, to what address? My solicitor wrote to Paula Rudd who issues replacement COA as per FOI request a month before my COA expired but we have heard nothing. This is really frustrating. Hi mam2, my solicitor wrote to them several times but am not sure the address...

Yea,still waiting. Every week is an anxious wait for the postman.

If I may ask,why is your wife banned from re entry to UK for 10 yrs? And why did she go with your daughter? How old is your daughter?

Sorry for mistakes, I meant.....been adviced to. And I've just......

I called them this morning but they were of no help. The lady I spoke to said I should write to an address I already know and continue to wait as we have been advices to. I be just written same letter to 4 different addresses hoping one of them will at least answer/reply. That's how bad its gotten to.

Thank you Prince74. I will try tomorrow n feed u all back

What should we do about this situation? My COA expired in Nov and I have not received a replacement nor residence card. How HO expect me to continue working without one,onle they know. I've not done anything since then and always hope they will soon issue residence card. Oh how wrong I was.

Thank you Jumbo. I thought so myself.

From the look of things these days and the turn of events re EEA 2, I agree with the previous answer, yes. It will raise a lot of questions and suspicion. You might be genuinely married but you will still need to provide very tangible reasons why.

Well,they did put on their website in Nov that from 1st Dec, all applications for leave to remain or enter will require biometrics. unless they put the news on the wrong section but it was at both European section and the other ones as well. I'm sure we will start hearing from them soon re applicati...

Pls how about the biometric question posted earlier? Could you help with that? Did you do biometrics? Thanks.

HI Nat1979, does your derivative residence card has 'no recourse to public funds' written in it? They said it will have something like ' employment and business activities allowed' written in it. Is that right?
Thanks in advance.

We thank God that UKBA has now finally started working. Hopefully, the rest of us will be hearing from them soon.
Great news. Congrats nat1979
