The HO guidance is clear, if inadequate information is submitted a short COA (no right to work confirmed) may be issued.srk12 wrote:hi,

If you have an EEA sponsor exercising treaty rights in UK then you have the right to reside, work, study. It's just difficult for you to prove it to risk-averse employers.srk12 wrote:thanks noajthan,
my situation is :

As, home office niether confirmed nor declined my right of work, what is my official status untill the application outcome? what else i could do to prove my right of work (my 5 year residence card expired on 27/01/16).
thank you for reading a long post. any advice is highly appreciated.
this is where i am getting stuck, as my HR is saying all she wants is a clear document which says i have right to work and she would like not to be penalised for employing me.

You could print out some EU-related documentation I suppose (or use the links you posted above) but if the reader is untrained, (&/or inexperienced, untrusting) its unlikely to help.srk12 wrote:this is where i am getting stuck, as my HR is saying all she wants is a clear document which says i have right to work and she would like not to be penalised for employing me.

noajthan, you seems to have a lot of experiance and knowledge in these matters, could you kindly suggest what else i could do.
as both my partners, my passports are with HO, we cant even travel to non eea country.
The poster has received his PR yesterday.Richard W wrote:I've been racking my brains on this one, but most of the solutions seem to be down to good document management, which isn't much help for the posters:
1) Don't let one's passport expire while waiting for a residence card (RC).
2) I may have missed a fundamental flaw with this one - if so, somone please advise. Instead of going RC, Permanent RC, go RC, RC, PRC, applying for the next card at least a year before the previous one expires. That way, one should always have a residence card. (This sort of trick wouldn't work with an ILR BRP - one can't advance the expiry date, and one can't have two such BRPs.)
3) Do a day trip visa run to France (both partners). One should then get the 'EEA regulation' stamp, which has replaced the code 1A stamp. This may be acceptable as evidence of the right to work.
4) A desperate solution would be to get the residence card at a premium service centre. I don't know how successful a visit would be. It's expensive, but so is not being able to work.
