appeal in process , work not allowed.

[Mani1986]

Hello everyone I have been reading this forum from last couple of months and its really helpful. I am really worried about my case which is described below. and i have few questions.

I applied for eea2 unmarried partner in april 2013 and it was refused because I couldn,t provide 2 years cohabitation. it was refused and the reason is " relationship is not durable because we as a couple didnt meet the home office requirement of 2 years." I launched the appeal and my hearing is in next year.In this all process HO dint allow me to work but i have been working so far. my question is:

is it possible my appeal refuses on the bases that I wasn't allowed to work and I have been working in this all process??

According to my solicitor it is criminal offence and it can effect my appeal and application. because the time i will go to the court i will be in 2 years of relationship with my partner. it means we will fulfill the requirement of home office..

Kindly help me I am so worried now because I dont want to loose my appeal.
regards

Your solicitor makes a valid point, as the application you have made involves the exercise of the secretary of state's discretion and she can undertake a wide examination of all the circumstances. I would expect you may win at appeal on the basis of the length of the relationship but the decision may be to direct the Home Office to remake their decision and thus they would be able to take into account any relevant information that exists at the time of the hearing, thus creating a possible further reason for refusal.
