EEA2 Application Timelines - ONLY 1 TOPIC - UpToDate

[nora_804]

hello
everyone received a refusal today , my lawyer just forward the refusal document to me ,
am not really happy with my lawyer

with right of appeal , pls advice , should l put in a new application or go for the appeal , and just tired right now of the wait and don't want another one year of appeal ,
will send the reason of refusal shortly

thanks

Hi soul101

What is the reason of refusal of your application??
We send the refusal letter to our lawyer and she said it is ridiculous that they have not written the reason for rejection of our application

[nora_804]

I went to the Post Office yesterday and they refused to process my biometrics. I don't if I should try another branch and just say the name is correct to see what happens? Do you think it could be a big problem to the application process down the line?

I'm just afraid they won't send another letter in 5 days since there was no reply or anything and I'll be loosing 10 days or so in this.

It's so annoying cause it's such a stupid misspelling - it is written OA instead of AO.

Thanks all

In that case, contact the Home Office in every way you can. Generally, I've found that government organisations still like paper too much, so I would always send them a letter on paper in addition to emails if it's about something important.

Please which e-mail can we get in touch with the stupid Home office?? I am so tired of them

[fazalkhan2015]

I am just asking for my friend. His appeal allowed by court on 30th September 2015.

*(The appeal are allowed to the extent that the decision are remitted to the Secretary of state for full consideration. ))

Court said home office have 14 days to appeal in upper tribunal .

If they don't go to upper court than
how long will the home office take to issue visa?,
What is remitted mean here in decision?

Quick update to my timeline:

EEA(EFM - unmarried partner)
App delivered on 22/09
Fee taken on 26/09
Biometrics letter dated 28/09
Biometrics enrolled 05/10
COA pending

I'm not sure that an unmarried partner is an "EFM" (Extended Family Member). I believe unmarried partners are just family member, same category as a spouse.

opxa: NO.

This is what I explained on an earlier post when you said that people applied as "married" or "unmarried".
You either apply as Family Member (married, or civil partnership) or Extended Family Member (unmarried partner, and some other types of family members).
And YES, unmarried partner IS an Extended Family Member.

Again, it's all here: https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-a-uk-resid ... ligibility

Family members of EEA citizens
You can apply as a direct family member if you’re related to the EEA national as:

their spouse or civil partner
their (or their spouse or civil partner’s) child or grandchild who is under 21 or a dependant
their (or their spouse or civil partner’s) dependent parent or grandparent
If the EEA national is a student, you can only qualify as their family member if you’re:

their spouse or civil partner
their (or their spouse or civil partner’s) dependent child
Other relatives of students must qualify as extended family members.

Read more about direct family members of EEA nationals.

Extended family members

You can apply as an extended family member if you’re either:

the unmarried partner of the EEA national and you’re in a lasting relationship with them that’s similar to a marriage or civil partnership
a relative of the EEA national (or of their spouse or civil partner) but you don’t qualify as their family member
Relatives include brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, nephews or nieces and cousins. Relatives can also include grandchildren, parents and grandparents if the EEA national only has the right to reside as a student.

Hi all. I hope you're well.

Im colombian and my husband is Austrian. We got married the 21th ofAugust and sent the application for a EEA2 RC the 24th of August.

I made the big mistake of sending copies of our marriage certificate and the bank statements and payslips of my husband. Just copies, no originals.

Then I received a COA letter with date 02 september that states:
"at this stage we are unable to confirm your right to work in the UK. This will depend on the outcome of the application. This is because you have not provide original documentation for all oh the following:
*Evidence of relationship with your EEA national sponsor;
*Sufficient evidence of your sponsor exercising treaty rights.
We will not revisit the terms of your COA during the consideration of your case. This means we will not confirm your right to work until your application is decided. this include the period of time during which you exercise any rights to appeal should your application be refused and is irrespective of any documentation you may provide during the consideration stage"

In the same letter I received the indications for the biometrics and I sent them on September 07.

What should I do? I haven't heard from the HO since that letter. Should we send the original documents?
Anyone knows of a similar case?
PLEASE HELP!

Hi Lali

I'm Colombian as well, although I applied as EFM as I am unmarried. I received the same letter, except they only cite the first reason in mine: That I did not submit evidence of relationship.

I think the standard procedure is to send that letter to unmarried couples, as no marriage certificates can be sent, but in your case, maybe, because you just sent a copy, they treat you as if you have not sent anything. It fits, as they also say you have not send evidence that your husband is exercising treaty rights (you only said copies of his payslips). We did send the original payslips of my partner, and I did not get that reason (lack of evidence of treaty rights) listed in my letter.

My advise? Yes, do send originals ASAP, to the same address you sent your application, include your case ID, and ask for a new COA, with right to work. And see what happens?

Good luck!

hi my time line we r unmarried partner
appli send 07/9/15

Hi gaus

I'm afraid yours seems to be quite an untangled and complicated case. Why don't you go for marriage? If you apply as an unmarried partner you are usually expected to have been living together for 2 years at least. If you don't they have a clear reason to refuse your visa yet again.

That, combined with your history of attempting a partner visa, and your current partner sponsoring a previous partner, plus, your illegal stay... euh... it really doesn't look very favourable to be honest.

I would... consider marriage, withdraw your application, reapply as married, and find a good, trusted solicitor!

But that is just me. I don't like to gamble and rather go for a sure thing.

[leandroalemao]

I've sent an email to home office today to ask for my CoA.. as I've applied about 4 months ago and haven't received it yet.. then 5minutes later I received a reply (non automatic reply) saying that they'll sent my enquiry to the relevant team.

I hope I'll receive my wife's CoA soon.

Thanks

Leandro.

Hi Kamoe,

Did you try to send a private message to me?
I tried to open the message but I am not allowed to do so.

By the way, I still haven't receive my Biometric letter.
Sigh..

Hi eliksky

Yes, I did. I'm sorry to hear that! You do need to contact them to get a new one, ASAP, quoting your case ID No. (which will very likely be your husband/partner's case ID No.+1, if they have also applied for a card). Did you manage to find the email address? If not, simply write a cover letter and send it to the same postal address as the one you sent your application, again, quoting your Case ID.

Good luck!

Hi,
I was in similar situation with your and got exactly same CoA with no right to work and will no revisit my case.
Dont send them original documents, if i seen your post earlier i could as well advice you not to give bio metrics. So simply withdraw your application online via Gov.Uk, you will receive your whole application and documents you sent them within 10 days and then reapply and make sure you correct the previous mistake, then you will get right to work and you will get your previous application fee back (65 pounds).

Thing is, as unmarried you will not get right to work until the application is decided, currently an average of 4.5 months wait...

if that is really your only choice than I hope it goes well and good luck!

[tati*]

That is what I found on internet about this email.

If there are exceptional reasons why you are not able to enrol your biometric information within 15 days of the Biometric invitation letter being issued, then you must email Appointmentexceptions@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk setting out the reason(s) why you are unable to do so.

Not sure if this is the right one. Anyway, best of luck and let us know how it is going.

Any news from May applicants?

I'm still waiting patiently but anxiously...

I can't even remember the last post about someone getting an actual RC... I think the press that prints them broke down. Or the guy that pulls the lever that lowers the press went on strike. We need to send one of the new COA recipients with right to work over there to replace him.
