But hope before christmas everyhting wll be resolved! fingers crossed!sharmarina wrote:Thanks to all of you guys, for support and kind words, means a lot to me!
Kuka, any progress at all? I was quite sure that your case will be solved before mine, as it's with caseworker for a while now... Anyway , I am sure it is your turn now, to finaly get it!
As per new applications - looks like they are improving (according to this thread, as well) and even opened new department where all new applications sent, so there shouldn't be any more backlogs... So, newbies- do not panic, you probably won't be affected by rediculously long waiting period!
Any advice, help needed- glad to help as much as I can.
P.S.- this forum was my Number 1 help and source of info, thank you all! especially thanks a lot to Aussiegirl for all the advice she posted here!

IS THE EEA2 APPLICABLE IF MY WIFE IS BRITISH?
ANYBODY IN THE SAME SITUATION?
THANKS
YES, you can apply for a RC on EEA2 with your wife as your sponsor.. just be sure to point out in a covering letter that she wishes to exercise her EU treaty rights, and sent all info as requested on EEA2 application form.HQZ wrote:HELLO
IM ON MY WAY TO APPLY FOR THE EEA2.
IM CHILEAN AND MY WIFE IS BRITISH. WE WERE LIVING IN GERMANY LAST YEAR AND I GOT THE EEA FAMILY MEMBER VISA TO COME TO THE U.K, HOWEVER THIS VISA IS FOR 6 MONTHS.
SOME DOUBTS I CANT GET AN ANSWER FOR ( I HAVE READ ALREADY ALL THE INFO BUT I AM STILL WONDERING ABOUT) :
1.CAN I APPLY FOR THIS RESIDENCE CARD?
2.THEY ASK FOR MY WIFE´S EMPLOYER LETTER/CONTRACT, AND OUR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE, WHICH WE HAVE BUT, SHOULD I INCLUDE EXTRA INFORMATION OTHER THAN THAT?
I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP
REGARDS

Sabby_00, I'm not sure whether it will affect or not your ability to work, but I think it shouldn't be a problem to request your passport back. However when I requested my passport back it took them nearly 2 weeks to send it to me! And because you don't have your COA yet, it might be difficult for them to track your application and might take some time.Sabby_00 wrote:I'm hoping somebody can help me. Does anybody know if I can request my passport back before I've received my Certificate of Application, and if so will this in any way affect my ability to work?
My Story:
I'm a Canadian citizen currently in the UK on a Working Holiday Visa. Under the terms of my Visa, I am able to work for twelve months.Tomorrow marks twelve months since I've been employed in the uk, and so I will be unemployed beginning next week.
Three weeks ago, I married my French National husband here in London. I shortly thereafter submitted the EEA2 form, which was received by the Liverpool office on September 28th, 2009.
I am now waiting for my COA, which will allow me to work in the UK. My current employer has kindly agreed to wait a couple of months while I await this document, and has promised that my job will be waiting once I receive the certificate.
My issue is that my grandfather is very ill, and I would like to visit him in Canada before he passes away. I figure since I'll be off work for a few weeks, it will be a good opportunity for me to visit him. It's no problem for me to travel on my current Visa, since it only expires in a year. However, the Liverpool office has my passport. I know I can request it back, but do you know if I can do so before I've received my COA? Also, if I do ask for my passport back, will it in any way affect my ability to work?
Thanks so much for your help!
Sabby
Yes, Mark2009, it is hopeless, and that way everything working there far from idealmark2009 wrote:Wow, really...since august, and nothing has happened.
Seems like this awful experience is still way ahead.
I don't think we have any option than to wait. I wrote about 15-20 complain letters and still nothing has happened....the best i had was the apology letter.
My MP is useless, i haven't heard from her after she wrote the Home Office and that was March 09.
Yea, all these letters pretty much standardised lettersSarah T wrote:We have also written to all the complaint departments available to us. Our MP just wrote back to us yesterday with the same response as everyone - backlog, move to Liverpool blah blah blah with an attached standard response.
Having said that, the MP's letter confirmed that requesting your passports back for travel DOES NOT delay or affect the EEA2 application submitted. However, if you do not have visa to come back to the UK, you need to apply for the family visa in your home country.
Our EEA2 application has been in consideration since February 2009! It is getting a little ridiculous!
