Does the COA confirms your right to work and reside? how is that stated? whats the need for the residence card if the COA confirms that even before they look into your case and study your papers?doesnotcompute wrote:Here's the history of my wife's EEA2 application so far:
7th Jan: sent application by special delivery.
7th Jan: received by Home Office
14th Jan: sent email asking when we might receive the COA, and if everything is in order with the application. Explained to them that we wish to travel in May.
18th Jan: sent complaint that no response was received from my query within 48 hours. Reminded HO of their obligations under 2006 Immigration Rules to issue a COA immediately.
19th Jan: Received COA, confirming right to work/reside in the UK (the COA was dated 14th Jan).
21st Jan: received confirmation of complaint
27th Jan: apology letter received, responding to complaint. A second COA was enclosed in the envelope.
Since 27th Jan, no update from the HO. I am thinking about calling them next week for an update, but I doubt I will get anywhere
The COA does indeed confirm the right to work. I don't know the exact wording off the top of my head.basel_jaber wrote:Does the COA confirms your right to work and reside? how is that stated? whats the need for the residence card if the COA confirms that even before they look into your case and study your papers?doesnotcompute wrote:Here's the history of my wife's EEA2 application so far:

Whatever that means.

I submitted my app on 14/09/09, received my COA (dated 18/09/09) two weeks later, and heard nothing from the HO until 30/11/09 when they sent a letter requesting some further evidence. I called Liverpool yesterday to change my address and they told me it's still under consideration.
I'll start chasing them once the six months they are allowed to take to process elapses.
I sent my EEA2 Application on 5th of January and received the COA on 20th of January (dated 17th of January which is SUNDAY). I rang the HO last Friday and they told me that the application is still under initial check stage.doesnotcompute wrote:Rang the Liverpool office this afternoon, and they told me "it hasn't been assigned a case reference number yet...it's still in a queue".

They requested further evidence that my husband and I have been living together since we returned to the UK from Spain. So I just sent them 5 months worth of bank statements, my letter of offer of employment, letters from DWP regarding my NI number, husband's speeding tickets :-/ and some other things, basically anything "official" posted to our house.Forza_RC wrote:wet26 wrote:Just be patient.doesnotcompute wrote:Rang the Liverpool office this afternoon, and they told me "it hasn't been assigned a case reference number yet...it's still in a queue".

Could you please indicate what were the additional documents they requested? And, did you send any "insurance" documents?
Thanks...

I didn't send any insurance documents as my husband is British (he was exercising treaty rights in Spain for 2 years) and he is employed full time. Plus, I'm Australian and Australia and the UK have reciprocal healthcare agreements. I'm sure insurance is only required if you are self sufficient and therefore not paying national insurance.
