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: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.
- 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 evidence the EEA national has exercised free movement rights in the UK (as a jobseeker, worker, self-employed person, self-sufficient person or student);
or evidence the EEA national has permanent residence in the UK
Anyone issued with a ‘short’ COA due to their failure to submit the required evidence cannot later be issued with a ‘long’ COA (even) if they submit this evidence.

Short of mounting a court battle not sure anything can be done apart from waiting for your RC.Anyone issued with a ‘short’ COA due to their failure to submit the required evidence cannot later be issued with a ‘long’ COA (even) if they submit this evidence.

I sent the application at 24 Nov 2015 and received CoA (w/n wr) and Biometric letter together at 07 Dec 2015.
I requested a few time by email but did not receive any updated CoA except for the automatic reply.
We worried a lot and thought maybe our documents were not enough, so we sent some photos with each other's family and additional documents 20 Feb 2016.
Now i'm still waiting for the RC.
Hi Iamnatasha,Iamnatasha wrote:Hi Dantam,
I hope you get your letter soon.
I sent the letter updating my husband's worker status with all the information about his employment on 11th Feb and they received on the 12th. I also sent a copy of this letter to the nweurocoarequests@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk mailbox and stated that I wanted a updated COA as per the letter. I know this email isn't really for this purpose but covered all avenues. I then waited and on 18 Feb I sent another email to the above email address asking for the COA again outlining my personal info and then just wrote an email saying that
"I am yet to receive a Certificate of Application (CoA) confirming that I am able to work while my application is under consideration. I enrolled in biometrics over 21 days ago and still haven't received anything.
Your information states the following:
When to expect your certificate of application
A certificate of application will be issued following receipt of a valid application for an EEA residence card. An application for a residence card is valid where:
- you have paid the appropriate fee for your application, and
- you have successfully enrolled your biometric information in relation to the application.
If eligible you will receive your certificate of application shortly after successful enrolment of your biometric information. If you enrolled your biometric information less than 21 days ago, please do not contact us regarding your certificate of application.
In accordance with the above, I have paid the application fee, successfully enrolled in biometrics (included my reference number from the post office). Could someone please advise what is happening with this, when I can expect this CoA??"
The letter I got was dated 20 Feb but received today. My patience isn't the greatest. I am happy to wait for the Resident Card now as I can actually start my job and my employer is also happy.
I have my fingers crossed for you!
