Rights of an extended family member
Extended family members do not have automatic rights to enter and reside in the UK. Under regulation 7(3) of the regulations, an extended family member
has the same rights as a direct family member, providing they continue to satisfy the conditions of regulation 8 and they
have been issued with:
an
EEA family permit
a registration certificate, or
a residence card.
The above documents must remain valid and not have been revoked.

Link above is Processes and Procedures for EEA documents
Certificates of application: timescales
Residence cards
In line with regulation 17(3) of the regulations, on receipt of an application for a residence card and the documents that that are required to accompany that application, a COA must be issued ‘immediately’.
Certificates of application: direct family members
Applications for a residence card
To be issued with a ‘long’ COA confirming a right to take employment while their application is under consideration, the applicant must have submitted:
a valid passport
a valid EEA identity (ID) card or EEA passport for the EEA national
evidence of relationship to their EEA national (for example, marriage or birth
certificates) and either:
o evidence the EEA national has exercised free movement rights in the UK as a
jobseeker, worker, self-employed person, self-sufficient person or student o evidence the EEA national has permanent residence in the UK
If they have not submitted all of the evidence listed above, you must issue a ‘short’ COA, which does not confirm a right to take employment.
Anyone issued with a ‘short’ COA due to their failure to submit the required evidence cannot later be issued with a ‘long’ COA if they submit this evidence.
Certificates of application: extended family members
Extended family members, including durable partners, of EEA nationals do not enjoy an automatic right of residence in the UK until they have been issued with a document by the Home Office confirming such a right.
You must issue a ‘short’ COA to extended family members who have submitted an application for a residence card regardless of the level of evidence submitted with their application.
For further information on extended family members, see related links: Extended family members of EEA nationals.
Extended family member in this section does not have Family Permit.
When Extended family member has Family Permit and must has the same right with Direct family.
If you are very sure that you has submitted required documents. Then your caseworker made a mistake therefore you can request new COA WITH RIGHT TO WORK
e. You mast make sure that you send all required document and must be original not copy. Then you can send email to
nweurocoarequests@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk with all your details, name, DOB, passport number, case reference and request new COA with right to work and refer to the Home office process and procedure above that you have Family Permit and must treat you as Direct Family which entitles to have COA WITH RIGHT TO WORK.
