nov 2008- divorce with my ex. ( married for 4 years)
applyed EEA4 with my child 09/12/2010 got COA today.Its says - Thank you for application for Permanent Residence Card. And all text as usuall,but at the end of letter:
-At this stage we are unable to confirm your right to work in the United Kingdom. This will depend on the outcome of the application. The enclosed Questions and Answers sheet provides more information about employment rights.

Why?
I supply all relevant documents with my application ( mar. certificate,divorce,ex husbant working from 2004-till now never stop,i am self emloyment all this time,child nursery letter, joint bank account,my comoany account and letter from accounter and revenue,all consil tax and bills for both names froom 2004-2008 and all....).
I dont understand what HO mean - We will consider your application but may need to contact you for some additional or alternative evidence.Until work on your application has been completed we will not be able to provide confirmation on your current status.
Its mean i have no right to work now? But how iam going to live? and my child?for 6 month waiting time? they ant me to close my company untill they consider my application?
What do you think? Probably its new Coa letter from this year.

It doesn't mean that you are not allowed to work it just means that until they have assessed your application they can't confirm that you are allowed to work . It is just a standard letter they are sending out because obviously some who apply for PR do not qualify and may no longer have a right of residence (particularly if they have ceased to be a family member).

If you are confident you have been exercising treaty rights for 5 years and/or have retained the right of residence after your divorce then you should continue working.

Are you working at the moment? What nationality is your child?

How come your child is not an EEA National? If your child's father is your ex EEA National than you must need to apply your child's father's EEA nationality.

So the child does not have an EEA passport, but nevertheless do they have your ex-spouse's nationality?

What is that nationality?
