I have just received my COA today. It took 15 days since we sent the papers for the 2nd time. (I was the one who started this thread, by the way...)Richir2909 wrote:I have got a similar letter asking for proof of medical insurance although we are "self sufficient" and I have provided documentation for myself and my partner who is the EEA national.
Has anyone been successful lately?
I am not brilliant with forums i.e posting, quoting etc, but thanks Iira for your last post. I do realise you started the thread which caught my eye initially. However, few questions.Iira wrote:I have just received my COA today. It took 15 days since we sent the papers for the 2nd time.

Basically, it means we have successfully sent proof of "comprehensive sickness insurance".
I didn't get a COA the first time. Couple of months ago HO changed the way of dealing with applications and now, if there is something missing for them, they just return everything to you with a letter mentioning what they need. There is no deadline because the application is rejected.Richir2909 wrote:When you initially applied, did you not get a COA?
Also did you get a time frame within which to send the insurance details?
And did you find one with "emergency cover"
In my case, I applied in March 2009 and an acknowledgement letter in May 2009 but only got the letter requesting more information in the first week of December, but got to send them details within 21 days.
I have been shopping around but I am experiencing the same problems you outlined in your earlier posts.
No, I didn't know it was necessary until they rejected the application. And I still don't know if that's going to be a problem.Richir2909 wrote:Thanks Iira
Have you got insurance covering the past few years however?
That's the one, has anyone been successful on the basis of missing documents like insurance certificate covering the PAST!!! years. This is one of the requirements of both the Directive 2004/38 AND the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006. If you don't have one you clearly fall foul of the strict interpretation of the rules. But, obviously if the case had gone to court, the court would reiterate the principle of proportionality.Richir2909 wrote:Thanks Iira

3.4 Sickness Insurance
Persons must not become a burden on the public finances of the host Member State. In paragraph 93 of Baumbast, the ECJ found that it was disproportionate for a lack of sickness insurance that covered emergency medical treatment within the UK to be a reason for refusing to grant a right of residence on this basis. Furthermore, the law in regard to the NHS prevents us from restricting people from obtaining medical treatment after they have been here for more than 12 months.

I applied in 2004 with my EEA wife and our application was refused due to the fact that my EEA wife was not working , we reapplied used universal provence(wrong spelling) to show that we are not going to use the NHS and within months I have my stay. Please no need to backdate it , just reapply as a new application with the medical insurance and forget about that emergency cover you guys are talking. you guys may be confusing, they is nothing like that. Apply for full medical insurance for both you and your non EEA husband/wife. It cost around 200-300 a months but it help the non eea.

For your information...this is all what we've been talking about! From the beginning to the end...jude wrote:Iira , I applied 5 years ago . For your information you only receive a letter from the HO asking medical insurance or emergencies as you stated when you or your spouse are not working... is that right? My other point I mentioned is that , all private medical insurance company can see thier client's as well as in emergence situation. I applied used this very route so I know what I am saying. If you get a full private medical insurance for u / ur spouse you would not have any problem with the HO . Note that it would cost not less than 200 a month . If you think I am wrong is uptill you .

jude,jude wrote:Honestly they is something I missing. Why do you need Insurance on EEA4? If you are sending private medical Insurance because ur X was not working throughout then you have a very little chance of getting ILF. Can you tell me why you need it? Coz I felt you told me that you are divorce ?
Not at all. As far as I know, you cannot backdate an insurance.jude wrote:I understand your point , what I am asking is Are you looking to backdate insurance because ur X EEA sopuse was not working or what ?

Anyway, I'm not looking for anything at the moment. As I already said, just waiting for the result. Thanks.
so, it's the same thing in my case: applying for EEA2 as the husband (non European) of a Swiss national:86ti wrote:This UKBA page clearly says 'can' and not 'must'.

My husband is not EU citizen and as far as I know he needs the Residence Card to stay here with me.
