Hi Richard Thank you for your reply. I have a few more questions: - What documentation/evidence do I need to submit to obtain a CoA? - You say that permanent residence is acquired automatically. Does that mean the Home Office can't contest my application/must issue a CoA so long as I am still with m...
Hi Richard Thank you for your response. Do you know how long it is currently taking the Home Office to provide confirmation for permanent residence? Is two months going to be enough time? Do I have to wait until January 2019 to start the process (I will have lived in the UK for five years then)? Sub...
Hi I have an eea family residence card as the unmarried partner of an eea national. It expires in March 2019. I am American and my unmarried partner of 10 years is Irish. We moved from America to London for her job in January 2014 and we now have a three year old who is both an Irish and American ci...
Hi again, Per the below conversation/chain, I am writing the letter to the HO to complain and have my COA re-issued to confirm my right to work. Do you know of a statute or court opinion I can reference that states or suggests an EEA Family Permit gives the permit holder the right to work in the UK ...
Thank you Jambo. Will complaining and writing a letter asking that my COA be changed have a negative impact on the outcome of my residence card application?
Hi again, I just received my Certificate of Application for a Residence Card. It says "At this stage we are unable to confirm your right to work in the United Kingdom." The enclosed Questions and Answers page says the Home Office cannot confirm my right to work because I applied as the unm...
I tried calling the number for the UKBA listed in the common questions of the this website, but it didn't seem to work. Does anyone know the number for the UKBA including the area code (for example 44 for London)? Thank you!!
Thank you for your prompt reply. I am a little confused by your answer though. Are you saying: 1. my application for an RC will get withdrawn if the UKBA/HO discovers I travelled outside the common travel area while a decision for the RC is pending? Or 2. my application will NOT get withdrawn if the...
The UKBA website says I can ask for my passport back after my eea family residence card application has been submitted. However, it also says if they notice I travelled outside the common travel area (UK, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man) while a decision is pending then they will withdraw my applic...
Can my partner ask for her passport back at any point after I have submitted my residence card application (I assume she has to wait until I receive my CoA)?
After she has received her passport does it have to be returned to the HO again during the application process?
Thank you very much Jambo. I have a few questions regarding the residence card application process: 1. Does having a EEA family permit essentially guarantee I get a residence card? 2. My partner travels for work and will need her passport. Can I provide a copy with the residence card application? If...
Hi, I just received my EEA family permit. I am the unmarried partner of an Irish national. UKBA website says an umarried partner cannot work while waiting for residence card, but the FAQ section of this board says an unmarried partner cannot work if they didn't enter the UK with an EEA family permit...
