Let me give us our times just to encourage you

Application: 21/01/2014
COA (with right to work) 25/01/2014
Passports requested: 31/01/2014
Residence card issued: 14/03/2014

My views. I think that it does not matter if you request your passports. We did it and everything was resolved in less than two months. Last year, we applied, we left our passports all the time and it took 8 months. So, if you need them, ask them.

By the way, they did not requested my wife passport to paste the residence card. It is pasted on a paper sheet. Is this the standard procedure? Everytime she entered the UK will need to present it, right?

Thanks

Yes; getting the 'RC' on a piece of A4 paper is normal if they don't have your passport. Don't worry!

Hello, My wife (EEA [Polish citizen]) works as an apprentice nursery practitioner. She earns £541 per month and she get £684 housing benefit per month since we rent a one bed flat. I am ( Bangladeshi national) not able to work at the moment as my passport is at home office. We applied for EEA1 & EEA2 in November 2013. Is her claiming housing benefit affect our applications? If you need further information please ask me. Thank you.

[chaoclive]

The housing benefit is more than her salary?

I've heard that housing benefit doesn't affect applications. However, I'm not sure about how they would view a case where the housing benefit received exceeds the earned income.

I'm sure some other people will be along soon to provide more input.

Hi everyone, my eea2 was refused and am now confused wat to do. Plz anyone can help
I sent my eea2 in november, received coa, i received refusal 2 3 days before. They said that i didnt provide any form of identification. Yes because i dont have. I sent them my arc card. As i claimed asylum. they says arc card is not acceptable as my asylum was dismissed by court. But as far as i know my case is not totally dismissed. As i sent upper tribunal for perrmission of appeal.
The second reason is marriage of convience.
Though they came on my wedding day, they dont allow me to marriage. Bt they leave me. I went 1 month after again. And did marriage. After. They did surprise visit to home as well. Me and my wife both were at home. Is this normal
Cause both of reason dont look to me notmal.

Hi All,

I submitted my application on 28th of November 2013 (Visa expired on 29 November 2013). But my fee was not taken by UKBA for unknown reason. when we try to contact home office through letter then they sent back my application on 14th of January 2014 by considering invalid and excused for something wrong with the payment. payment have not been gone through even everything was fine.

I have submitted my application on same day again (14th of January 2014). now on 24th of January (Dated as 21st of January), i received my COA with no right to work (I was on post study work before apply) and they returned my spouse id back with one letter by saying that id is too damaged to accept. They are asking me to resend another id (Passport) within 21 days and then they will issue me another COA. I will send them my wife's passport (EEA national) now.

i was on Post Study work (Can work full time). I just need to confirm that will they issue me COA with right to work or not? and how many days it will take to issue me COA. roughly idea?

Just want ask, i haven't received COA from Home office.It's too late now. My solicitor is saying that he already requested twice home office to send COA. but they haven't yet responded. Due to which, soon i will loose my job.

Can anybody advise, what should i do to get COA?

Your help and advise will be highly appreciated.

[chaoclive]

It's hard to guess how long the COA will take. Don't think anyone can tell you any detail about that. Most people seem to get it in a few weeks, but it does depend.

I'm not sure what you can do - you are paying for a solicitor; surely that should be part of his job.

You could search on this forum for answers. There's a recent thread about COA here: http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-ro ... 59095.html

I am an eea national. I applied for eea2 for my husband. We also have a baby and all genancy agreement and bills together. My husband's visa expired just a few days after I sent the application. He started work only in february and did not receive his payslip until I sent the application. The payment from the company can be seen on his bank statement. Should I now send to HO the payslips we have so far or should I wait for an answer from them?

Here's our timeline so far:

03/03/2014 application sent
04/03/2014 application received
05/03/2013 (dated) confirmation
10/03/2014 (dated) certificate of application - unable to confirma right to work, but not prohibited access to emplyment or self-employment if providing day-to-day care for an EU citizen child, self-sufficient.

Hiya mate
Yes I did and this time there was an Asian lady she was nice tho she told me that u have applied on 8th of jan and it came up to our system on 15th of jan. And she also told me that no decision has been made yet as it still under consideration.
Anyway I have made the request of the return of my wife's passport back yesterday so hopefully it can help me may b not am too sure.
What's happening with your case mate by the way?

[hosok]

Hey,
people in this forum has helped us so I thought I should share this with you.

We are married couple, we have applied in December 2013 and received a refusal earlier this month on basis of not showing that I'm exercising treaty rights as self-employed. We have sent a request for reconsideration with few more evidences and sent the forms for oral hearing appeal. Today we have received my wife's RC as it was reconsidered. We're very happy that we don't need to waste our time by going to court. We knew we're going to win in court but it's just a waste of time and takes ages.
So first of all- there's hope. If you are legitimate and doing everything with accordance to the law - you have to get your right for RC eventually.

Secondly, the RC is dated 17 March 2014, but on the 20 March the £140 payment was approved by hm courts tribunal and it was cleared on the 24th. What can I do? I've called them up and they told me that there are no refunds but we should email the fees team and they should check it out. This is ridiculous as the home office should have informed them in the day of the new decision, right? why should we pay this amount if we're not going to court at all? can anyone help?

Thanks lads and good luck!

Hi,

I called them yesterday and they told me the same thing that It's under process.

Lets see what happens. Best of luck mate.

Finally, I received my RC today, here is my timeline

- Case submitted on 29th Jan 2014 – Marriage route – Employed
- Acknowledgement letter received on 05th Feb, Issued on 31 January
- Fee deduction on 3rd Feb 2014.
- CoA received on 08 Feb, Issued on 04 Feb 2014.(With right to work)
- RC received today on 26th March 2014, dated 16th March.

I sent my documents with 1st class special delivery with return envelope and everyday after reading any good timeline on this forum I used to check the status of my return envelope
On 25th March finally I decided to call them and ask them to return my Wife’s passport and before calling them I again checked the status of my return envelope but there was no status so I called home office and asked them that incase ill request my wife’s passport back, will it effect my application? The lady who was really polite and kind, she told me that its not necessary and after asking my case number she said “your case is in a final process and you will get your documents back very soon and incase u will not receive anything from us, u can call me next Monday” and today on 26th March I got my passport in that same return special delivery return envelope which means they posted it yesterday on 25th.

My Visa issued on 16th of March (Sunday) and they posted it after 9 days ☺

I must say that there is no harm in calling them for proper guidance, all u have to do is to make them feel that you just want some guidance.

@ FN1 could u please state your nationality and your partner too, thanks

Hello everyone,

Me and my partner applied for EEA2 and this is our timeline:

Applied 04/01/2014
Home Office Received 05/01/2014
Acknowledgement letter received 11/02/2014, Dated on 06/02/2014
EU Passport Requested 25/02/2014, Passport Received 28/02/2014
COA with No Right to Work Received 14/03/2014, Dated on 11/03/2014
Complaint Letter Send 11/03/2014, Letter Received 13/03/2014
COA with a Right to Work Received 17/03/2014, Dated on 14/03/2014
Apology Letter Received from Home Office 18/03/2014, Dated on 15/03/2014

This is how long it took us to get a right to work. I haven't even added the fact that we called Home Office more than 3 times when we receive COA with no right to work. The reason why they issued us COA with no right to work or in other words 'short COA' is because my husbands passport has been with Home Office for the past two years and apparently the case worker skipped that fact and didn't see it that they hold his passport even though we wrote a cover letter which we included together with the application explaining why we didn't send his passport, gave them his HO Reference No, Passport No and they still 'didn't see' that they hold the passport. To be honest with you, this whole period was very stressful but we not going to give up and we are still waiting for the RC card to be issued. If you have any questions or issues with your application, or did not get your COA with a right to work when you was suppose to CONTACT HOME OFFICE AND WRITE A COMPLAINT LETTER. Only when you get on their heads and complain they actually start doing something. We even received an apology letter for this misunderstanding and have been informed by HO that our application is under active consideration.

All the best guys
