Try to call the HO and explain your situation. When did you apply for the Residence Card? If this has been more than 3 months ago, most likely a decision is on its way so if you talk to the HO, this should speed things up.Tanic wrote:My query with COA is this: Have secured employment (via Recruitment Agency) & given them the original COA & they took copy if it
They are now saying that this still is not proof of Right to Work & want to see my Passport
They are aware of the Employer Helpline but still want Passport
I am about to go crazy - this is the 1st job offer i have had
Anyone have similar experience, know what to do??
Actually EEA FP is enough to work in the UK legally which is clearly stated on the official HO website. However, employers might not know that. They also might want to look at the passport, they even might want to see a Residence Card. I have a feeling that there is nothing we can do about it, can we?Tanic wrote:My query with COA is this: Have secured employment (via Recruitment Agency) & given them the original COA & they took copy if it

I'm on the same boat. Employer has kindly given me a written job offer "depending on RC on passport". I've forwarded it to HO on 15 July. Same day, I've complained to HO about their slow service, and today I've contacted MP.Tanic wrote:Spoke to Recruitment Agency again - they have said that COA is now ok BUT the only form of ID that they accept is Passport........which the HO has
I contacted the Helpline today & they said nothing has been sent out but to send in fax request with all details on, which i have now done, to get Passport returned.
It really is a Catch 22 situation
