Applications sent together with my husband: 28.07
Biometrics letter: 05.08
Biometrics received by HO: 10.08
His acknowledgement email: 06.08
My COA without right to work: 06.08 (no sufficient evidence of sponsor exercising treaty rights: we sent employer's declaration, council tax for the past two years, plus Italian registration in London, as my husband is italian)
Sent complaint letter, requesting correct COA, no reply. Contacted Solveit, but no news yet. One thing they told us that HO has not even contacted the employers yet, and it may take months for them to do it. Notice how they sent us COA wo r/w, on basis of insufficient rights, before actually analysing the case.I could be less distessed, but I already had student visa with rights to work and the job that I loved and had to leave. Now we don't know whether continue waiting or withdraw application. Money will run out eventually.
The only thing I can think of here, is that you did not send his payslips. For employees, they do request TWO things as proof of treaty rights:
1) employer's declaration letter
2) payslips of the last 3 months.
Council tax and Italian declaration have nothing to do with treaty rights, and are not needed.
I advise you to send payslips of the last three months, either original, or copies stamped and signed by his employer, and send them to the same postal address you sent the rest of your application, with a cover letter including your full names, case IDs, dates of birth, and passport numbers. Clarify these are additional documents to your application.
Then send a letter to
nweurocoarequests@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk requesting to be sent a new CoA with right to work, as you are a married couple.
