I'm a non-EEA national married to an EEA (Irish) national and I had applied for my Permanent Residence (Indefinate Leave to Remain) almost six months ago at the end of April 2006.
The basis of my application which was done using the EEA4 form was that the Treaty Rights that were exercised by my husband over the past 5 years were by virtue of my employment as he does not work and has not done so for the past five years.
After submitting the application I called the Home Office twice a month to check on the progress of my application. When they finally responded to my by mail it was to request all the documents of my employment (P60s, wage slips, letters of employment etc) which I had already sent to them when I made the application back in April - so I am assuming they have lost my originals. I sent them the photocopies that I had kept so they could try and find the original documents.
I have now received another reply by mail from them asking me to send a full set of documents to show that my husband has been working for the past five years. This is so confusing to me now as I was originally told that I could make the application if my husband had been excerising treaty rights and was economically self sufficient by virtue of my own employment.
Can anyone advice please? Does this mean that if my husband has not been working and has not been ill over the past five years I will not get permanent residence? What happens if your application is rejected? Any answers are much apprecicated.
