I know short travel with CoA (certificate of application) while waiting for the residence card is discussed here before (http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-ro ... 86715.html) but I'm curious about the validity of the application if we were to travel a long time. Here is our situation:
- 1) I am a Turkish national (non-EEA). My partner, who I'm getting married this month, is an EEA national (non-British).
2) We are based in London and I am currently on Tier 2 work visa, sponsored by my current employer. I would like to quit my job this spring.
3) We want to go outside UK and travel for more than 3 months. Our question is; what would be the best course of action if we want to come back to London after this period, and I want to be eligible to work without requiring sponsorship?
However we're not sure if this application would still be valid if we left UK for more than 3 months after the application. I am afraid I might be denied entry or work in such case.
We'd appreciate anyone's help on this question/concern.
Thanks in advance!
