Sorry to hear that, I am worried of that exact situationJESSIES wrote:Hi
I am in a similar situation. My tier 1 visa expired on Oct 10, and I applied for a EEA2 on Oct 5. In reflection, I wished I could have applied for it months earlier because it was a barrier with one potential employer.
If you apply for a EEA2, your Tier 1 visa will be valid, even if expired, until you get an EEA2 response from immigration. There isn't a deadline on the COA. Depending on your situation, your COA will state whether you can work or not. I assume your COA will state that you can work.
I see so technically the employers can not give you a years contract due tot he visa only a temp contract right till the 6 month are up?JESSIES wrote:I am not sure if everyone has the same statement, but mine says I can work, however, after 6 months from my application date, the employer should ask for proof of my RC as evidence of my eligibility to work.
I would assume that people in different situations would have different work rights on the their COA letter?
I hope your right I dont have any solicitor to go through but I guess I can get my future employers to call the home office hot lineJESSIES wrote:my solicitors letter said that though she could not determine what Immigration's decision would be, she saw no reasons why I would not get the EEA2 visa. She then stated the legal reasonings of why I qualify.
