Too bad I have to get a new passport now as this one expires in September. Guess I will have to live with two for a while as no way am going through that again.
Application was sent 10th of September 2009
Coa was received on 15th of September
RC received on 4th June 2010, dated 20th of May
I applied as unmarried partner

Only spouses of EU nationals has the right to work while their applications are under consideration and their COA states that.Sherlyta wrote:Hi again,
So I received COA after 6 weeks. But this letter seems to be a joke. all it says it's to no call for any reason the HO and to not do any urgent travel. it doesn't state my right to work.
I recently had a job interview in a bank, and they told me if I am sucdessful they will need my orginal passpot. I thought with this letter I could do it. but if you are strict, there is not guarantee for a employer that I have actually this right to work, given that I am under a decision process waiting for a resolution... ? Well hopefully this doesn't affect me in my job search.
All I can see going through this thread is that the HO doesn't seem to show all the respect that people deserve.
I understand that the COA should specifies not only that HO has your passport but then your rights at least during the resolution period. or am I wrong?
If you get the FP you will be able to work for the six months its valid. Normally unmarried partners do not have automatic right to work (unlike spouses) as they are considered extended family members. With the FP it should be Ok though. Good luck!kabuki wrote: Also, as an unmarried partner, will I have the right to work/study while my EEA2 application is pending? I'm planning on being a student if my funding comes through, but if not, I may need to get a job instead and defer my course for a year (when I qualify for home fees).
Cheers!

I have applied for FMRS recently, not directly related to EEA2, but it'd be great if i could hear from any of you as I reckon some of you had dealt with FMRS before. Or shall I post as a new topic?? sorry if i shouldnt post here
I rang HO last friday for the second time since i posted my application on 06/05/2010, lucky me, male advisors answered each time and they were kinda nice. first thing i asked on friday was whether or not i will receive an acknowledgment or COA for my FMRS application, he didn't confirm whether it will be just an acknowledgment to confirm the receipt of my application or a COA.
but he then asked me how long since I posted my application as well as the special delivery tracking number. He confirmed that the HO received my application on 07/05/2010. and i should be expecting the COA (or perhaps just acknowledgment??) next week, which will be the fifth week the coming friday. so finger crossed that I will be getting something by friday morning. i will be ringing them again and getting ready the letter to MP on friday if nothing comes. Wonder if the MP will help though, after the election.
im also wondering if FMRS applicants will receive COA or just an acknowledgment. I've gone through loads of information from the website as well as the forums, nothing clearly states how long it normally takes to process FMRS or what an applicant will receive after submitting an application. I would love to see some successful cases or stories of FMRS applications =)
all responses are highly appreciated xxxx
Hello, I am not sure about the specifics of your case or if it is in any way similar to mine so this advice is purely personal. I do not pretend to know how the HO operates, in fact a lot of their actions prior to finally issuing my RC seemed kinda random.Commonwealth wrote:Can someone advice me on what to do for the remaining two weeks? Should be calling them everyday or twice a week or be more patient until aftet six month. Cant just wait to have my passport with RC on it. Am just static in one direction. All advice is important and will be much appreciated.
