Really looking for advice s for the EEA2

Post by Iboubenas » Wed Feb 12, 2014 6:45 pm

Hello,

I would like to apply for the EEA2 ans here's my situation:

Married to an European national who have been working in the UK almost 1 year before stopping work 1 month before giving birth of twins.
Then she got maternity allowance for 9 months which ended last November 2013.
Since then she tried to get back to her old job because she got a contract in this job. But no answer from her manager.
so now she is looking for a new job and thinking of going to seek jobseeker in job center.

so my questions are:

Is she still holding her right of residence in the UK?
Is it a good idea to apply for the EEA2 under jobweeker way?
Which documents should I submit with my application?

Sorry for being so long and thanks in advance.
:(

As far as I know it is her legal right to return to work, but yes you can apply for EEA2 under jobseeker allowance.

Are you working?

you can send EEA2 application form ( she can be either job seeker, Jobseeker+self sufficient )

You can also send EEA2 application as self sufficient ( she is dependent on you financially )

read this thread for this...

Personally if similar situation happened to my wife I wouldn't hesitate to sue them for that and even hope for decent compensation. But they know very well that by not responding to your wife they can always excuse themselves that they never received any emails. But if you give up on that it is the reason for people like you why employers feel they can play those kind of games on people. They know exactly what is required of them by law. Why don't you write a formal letter and send it by recorded delivery? or even visit the office yourself and get clarification from them in writing if they refuse to accept your wife back.

Hello,

I wrote to my wife's last job, but still nothing.
And she started a new job 4 days ago in on hotel, but she stopped today because they didn't want to write a contract for her saying that she will get it after 1 month which is bizarre.

So now we decided that she register as a jobseeker with the job center plus. Then I will apply under this status.
Here are the documents that I would like to send, please correct me if there's anything wrong with its.

- I and my wife's passports
- Married certificate
- Our babies birth certificates
- Maternity certificate
- Maternity Allowance confirmation, with the starting and ending date. ( but not pretty sure if I should)
- Proof of address
- Letter from job center plus
- E.mails sended when applying for jobs and the ones from recruitment agencies.

Please give your advises and thx in advance

It's a shame your wife left her job after 4 days, as an employer doesn't have to issue a written statement until the employee has been working for at least one month.

'The employer must provide the written statement within 2 months of the start of employment.'

Here's the link:

(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

On eea2 application form still there is an option where employer can sign and stamp to confirm the employment which can be an alternative too if no contract/employer letter/payslips available.
Please donot send PM. Write in open forum to facilitate others too.

Yea really a shame , because she didn't know abt this and neither me.
In all her previous jobs she got a contract the next day. So all is about ignorance.

Hello everyone,

I'm really confused about my situation, maybe someone here could calm me down.

My EEA family permit is finishing and my wife still didn't find a new job, and I don't really feel to apply under jobseeker status, because little bit complicated.
So I would like to wait until my wife get a new job to make it easier.

So my questions are:
When applying with expired EEA family permit, will the COA confirm my right to work?

Will I be considered as overstayed?

thx again

Let the eea family permit be expired fearlessly and whenever you want can apply eea2 rc. If you wish to apply now then you can make your eea national partner be self sufficient on any saving/income and buy csi. If you send all documents as described on application form then you will receive the CoA with right to work for employer purposes.
Please donot send PM. Write in open forum to facilitate others too.

Donot be hurried, simply wait for new passport otherwise caseworker may grant you a RC on A4 sized page instead of stamping it on an expired passport.

Any reason they can find to refuse you they probably will, why don't you just patiently wait for your new passport.I understand your pressured but you don't want your passportpossibly retained that isn't even valid.
