Good news to Share this evening!
Online application: 20:06:2021
Biometrics: 12:07:2021
COA: 01:09:2021
Status outcome: 02:12:2021
The status came out today after having made a formal complaint highlighting how the delay has affected me and numerous calls to the resolution centre,However it’s the complaint that made the desired intervention(indirect pressure on case worker to act and make decision).
NOTE: I would advise anyone considering making a complaint or calling the resolution Center to atleast Wait untill considerable time has passed since submission about 4 months plus ,such would warrant action as opposed to someone making a complaint less than 3 months since submitting the application. Good luck to everyone but finally this chapter closed!
MANY CONGRATULATIONS!!! Woo!!
Guys - I need help!
My partner got refused the day after (literally 18 hours after) getting his CoA
Said this: "The required evidence of family relationship for a durable partner of a relevant EEA citizen is a valid family permit or residence card issued under the EEA Regulations (or by the Bailiwick of Jersey, the Bailiwick of Guernsey or the Isle of Man) as the durable partner of that EEA citizen and, where the applicant does not have a documented right of permanent residence, evidence which satisfies the Secretary of State that the durable partnership continues to subsist.
Home Office records do not show that you have been issued with a family permit or residence card under the EEA Regulations as the durable partner of the EEA national and
you have not provided a relevant document issued on this basis by any of the Islands.
Therefore, you do not meet the requirements for settled status as a family member of a
relevant EEA citizen.
Careful consideration has been given as to whether you meet the eligibility requirements
for pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme. The relevant requirements are
set out in rule EU14 of Appendix EU to the Immigration Rules.
However, for the reasons already explained above, you have not provided sufficient
evidence to confirm that you are a durable partner of a relevant EEA citizen. Therefore,
you do not meet the requirements for pre-settled status on this basis.
It is considered that the information available does not show that you meet the eligibility
requirements for settled status set out in rule EU11 or for pre-settled status set out in rule
EU14 of Appendix EU to the Immigration Rules. This is for the reasons explained above.
Therefore, your application has been refused under rule EU6.
We have also considered whether you meet any of the other eligibility requirements under
Appendix EU. However, from the information and evidence provided, or otherwise
available, you do not meet any of the other these other eligibility requirements and your
application has, therefore, been refused under rule EU6 of that Appendix."
Why would he need a valid family permit or residence card issued when he's on a valid Tier 2 through his work? Him and I have been living together in the UK in a romantic relationship for 3+ years (we have proof of tenancy agreements, joint bank statements, etc.).
Should he appeal or have an administrative review?
He could re-apply for free but I'm not sure if he'd have to do his biometrics again?
