This is wrong. If you cannot independently confirm what a Home Office helpline tells you, it is quite likely to be wrong. Under British law, you do not have to apply for a residence card, just as you do not need to be able to drive a car.1. Today I called the Home Office just to check if it is still okay to follow my plan and I was told that if I stay here in the UK under an expired Family Permit and I have not applied for a Residence Card yet, I would be considered over-stay? Do you think if this is correct?
Yes. Family permits are often wrongly refused.2. If I stay here until August, then fly out of the country and apply for another Family Permit, do you think there will be any risk?
As far as government action is concerned, she is completely wrong. However, you may be unfairly suspended or sacked from work if your residence card expires with no form of replacement.3. I have asked a lawyer and she advised me that I was allowed to stay here, but I was not allowed to work after my permit expires and I was not allowed to travel out of the country until I receive my 5 -year residence card. Do you think if this is correct?
That plan carries the least risk of problems. Legally you may work, but I think you have no legal protection against unfair dismissal for lack of a non-mandatory document. Directive 2004/38/EC declares that possession of some sort of EEA documentation may not be made a condition of employment. This has not been transposed into British law.4. The lawyer therefore advised me to cancel all my travel plan, stay in the country and apply for the residence card. Even in that case, with my expired Family Permit and I am not sending my application for residence card yet, am I allowed to work in the country?

I think you should also include a letter from his employer certifying that he is working for themangel0317 wrote:2. My husband just started a full time job last month. Would that be a problem if I only submitted a bank statement with a month salary and wages?
I think you should. I also enclose a cover letter from myself and another one from my husband detailing our relationship...angel0317 wrote:3.

Should I enclose a letter about this on my application? Just in case the HO will question why I haven't applied for a Residence Card before it expired?
I don't think it is a problem. But again it is just my personal opinionangel0317 wrote:4. My husband doesn't have a Registration Certificate nor applying for one because he has been working in the Channel Island (Jersey) for the last 6 years but on a seasonal contract. States of Jersey and Guernsey have their own Laws hence they don't require citizen of EU to have that. Will that be a problem as well?
I have just sent my application for a EEA RC last July so I guess I will have a long way to wait. Having said that, I have received a confirmation email with case ID just a couple of days ago
Thats grand:) please keep us posted. Are you not chasing for ur COA? It has been 3 weeks already and we havent received any confirmation yet do you know how we should go about it?

I have decided to go ahead and apply for my Residence Card. I don't think this would be a ground for a refusal as by law you are allowed to stay here even when your EEA FM expired and you don't have to apply for a Residence Card

good luck with your application
Rosana, register your husband with a jobcenterplus in your area ASAP. he will be registered as a jobseeker and will actually have proof of seeking jobs. then apply for a residence permit FM for you and a registration certificate QP for him. these are two different applications but they are sent in the same envelope.Rosana801 wrote: ↑Sat May 19, 2018 9:22 amHello everyone,
I have a situation here, please I need help.
I have a family permit from november 28th to may 28th. My husband is Italian citizen. We arrived in london together in february 28th so basically we have been here for less than 3 months.
The issue is that my husband (whose english is not very good) was working and he quit his job because he had back pain. He hasnt go to the doctor because he know that he is limited with his back so he cannot do any job for example be stand up for many hours or lift heavy things.
Actually my husband has a an informal job which I believe is self employed (he has only been working 10 days), he is helping a man to move things (not heavy things of course) from house to houses or storages. He has no contract and he is paying in cash so he doesnt have any prove of job.
I know that I should apply for my residence card but how can I explain to home office this situation if my husband doesnt have any documents. Should he become a self employed. How can I apply for my residency card?
What happens if my family permit expires?? Should I wait until my husband finds a formal job? Or should I apply before my permit expires. I am working as a ballet teacher (self employed) in 2 schools and I don't want to have any problems here.
Thank you
