Thanks for your soon reply.
We both have an Italian Health Insurance Card (Carta dei servizi sanitari Europea) and the NHS registration number here in the UK.
We both have a UK bank account. We both provided evidence of our works (her work in Italy with an employee contract and an employer's letter as a reference) - (my work in the UK with my job contract and all the references).
The reason written on the refusal letter is the following: "Upon assessing the employer letter the Secretary of State has undertaken various checks to verify the employement, but has been unable to do so for the following reason: The company your EEA family member claims to work for is not based within the United Kingdom
Due to the reason noted above therefore unable for the Home Office to grant a Residence Card as the EEA national is not excersing treaty rights inside the United Kingdom. The Home Office does not deem it viable that the EEA national could reside inside the United Kingdom but also work 40 hours a week outside of the United Kingdom in Milan, Italy.
Whilst every attempt has been made by the UK Border Agency to establish your EEA family member's employement the burden of proof rests with the applicant to provide such evidence and you have failed to do so.
It is therefore concluded that you have failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that your EEA family member is currently a qualified person in the United Kingdom as a worker, as detailed under Regulation 6 of the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006."
What I can't understand is that on the form of the EEA2 Residence card application there was written that the EEA member can provide just the evidence of a job-seeker of self-sufficient person and we provided also all our bank statement, both British and Italian, and there are enough funds to provide for ourselfs for at least 6 months.
Here is what is written in the EEA2 form:
"YOUR RIGHT TO RESIDE IN THE UK
The non-EEA family members of an EEA national have a right to reside in the UK if
their EEA national family member has a permanent right of residence or is exercising
a Treaty right in one of the following ways:
• Worker
• Self-employed
• Student
• Economically self-sufficient (including retired people)
• Jobseeker
• Temporarily incapacitated"
Do you need to know any further information to give me an advice? I can provide anything you need, or if you can just tell me to who should I talk to ask to RECONSIDER just the answer, without appealing, as probably I can't do an appeal as I have to do that in 10 days after the date of the decision, which is the 12th September on the letter, but I received the envelop on the 27th September (without any prints or evidence that they just delivered on this date, and without any my sign for the receival, as I suppose should be).
Thanks,
Evgeny
