I'd say try a reconsideration first... just the fact that they say "if you were not working" seems completely silly. Fact is you are working and they are trying to create a hypothetical example that if you were not then they would refuse you... I don't even know where to begin there... anyone can concoct a fictional scenario to refuse or deny someone a right... but it's just that, poppycock.akon wrote:Hi guys, I need your advice.
I am Sri Lankan (working) and my wife is Polish (staying at home with our 1,5 year old baby). We applied for her as self sufficient based on my salary. We had sickness insurance. We got refusal:
"It is the impression of the Home Office that if you were not working, then your EEA National Sponsor would solely be dependant upon public funds this meaning that they are not fully self sufficient and therefore are a burden upon public funds."
I don't know what to do now. Should I appeal or reapply? And anyway what should I send them?

Hi, I don't know everything exactly what our lawyer wrote to them. We gave them as much proof as we had and she made an application. Lawyer charged 1100 pounds. The lawyer sent it 1 August. 11 August received acknowledgment letter dated 05/08/2014 and CoA with right to work dated 08/08/2014. And we are waiting until now.rocksolid wrote:Hi Sunspott,sunspott wrote:Hi, our solicitor sent an application a week later than u sent .

Could you please tell us what your solicitor wrote to them, their charges and how long it took them to send the letter. Today it has been 5 months since I have applied for EEA2 application. I have no clue what's going on.
hi there sir, I also applied for eea2 residence cardcreate wrote:Hello Forum Members,
I would like to say a big thank u to everyone.Every single information shared here,I would say was useful.The Gurus here are fantastic and helpful.My greatest desire is to see genuine applicants have their application successful within a short time.
Here is my timeline.
My wife and I applied for EEA1 and EEA2 on July 14.
Received my COA on 24th of July.
I requested for the return of both passports and marriage certificate. It was returned on 25th of August,3 days after sending request.
I called UKBA on 12th of this month,which was a Friday.The guy told me my application was still in process.He said it has not been acted upon.I was surprised on Tuesday,I received a card from Royal mail that I had a parcel.Lo and behold,I went the next day and collected my parcel with my residence permit on paper with my wife's EEA1.
I thank everyone,the moderators.You folks are super guys.
All the best to those who're still waiting.

Here is my timeline
Applied on 2/2/2014
Acknowledgement letter 7/2/2014
COA 14/2/2014 dated 11/2/2014
RC: still waiting
Is there anyone who applied on February but still waiting? I contacted with HO so many times but only they said application under consideration. Then I found some email address from this forum and send some email. Then I got a letter from HO saying that we apologise for this delay, a decision will be despatched to you within next Two weeks.
What do you guys think, are they gonna give a decision within two weeks or not? Thanks any comments ???

Applied: 27-06-14
Acknowledgement letter: 30-06-14

Received passport: 10-08-14
RC received: 27-08-14 (dated 22-08-14)
The RC was a separate paper as I had requested my passport back. All and all, the process seem a lot more straightforward/simple than originally depicted, 2 months to get my RC. I received ill-advise on whether requesting passport would impact the application (it didn't) and overall timeline from lawyers, so I'd advise you to just give it a go on your own there's a lot of noise out there about this process.
My husband is Spanish (employed in the UK) and I'm Venezuelan (also employed in the UK). We have been married for 3 years.
Thanks all for posting your timelines and sharing experiences, definitely helpful in this process. Good luck to all!

My husband is a New Zealander with a Hungarian (EU) passport exercising Treaty rights and I am Australian.
- 3rd Sep 2014 - I submitted our EEA2 application via royal mail next day post with a self addressed next day return envelope enclosed.
- 4th Sep 2014 - UKBA signed for it before 8am! I applied that evening for the return of our passports using the online system. I did not give a reason as to why we needed them (we had read other posts that were successful with no real urgent need).
- 17th Sep 2014 - We received the return envelope with my COA (dated 15th Sep) both our passports and an accompanying letter about the return of our passports dated 16 Sep.
I am currently looking for a job and we booked travel for next weekend before we realised they may hold our passports for a while so are VERY happy about the 2 weeks in total/10 business days timeline!
Will try to remember to update when the residence card comes through or if there are any problems. I guess they have 6 months from now so fingers crossed. Good luck to others.
hi there Sirkafworld wrote:Hi cypriotExpat,
Thanks. I am American and my wife is Romanian.
I requested my passport and marriage certificate back the day I received my COA. They both arrived in the envelope I provided to them. My RC was sent using their envelope and arrived 3-4 days after my RC was printed.
I'm guessing yours should arrive any day since 2 months is pretty standard these days. You should call them. Doesn't hurt to be persistent.
Good luck.
Have you printed the form and didn't find the address to post the form to? People are very content with asking the most irrelevant questions just because it is a forum. You haven't made an effort at all.Tim93 wrote:Hi guys, just a quick question. I'm yet to send my Eea2 application and my wife's eea1 application and I'm a bit confused if I need to send both applications to the same address and if so what address?. Any response will be Incredibly helpful. Cheers
