If you are married to an EEA national who is exercising rights your leave does not expire. You apply for a residence card (EEA2) merely to confirm your rights of residence on that basis but this is not mandatory and you may continue to remain and work in the UK. If your previous entry into the UK was under UK immigration rules and has now expired, that is no longer relevant; if your previous entry to the UK was with an EEA family permit of 6 months validity, the fact that those six months have now passed in not relevant.

don't worry dude chill. it's fine. usually coa takes couple of weeks but some times its very late...

Do you need to apply?

You do not need to obtain documents confirming your right of residence in the UK if you are a family member of an EEA national.

However, you may be inconvenienced if you do not obtain this confirmation, as:

you may have difficulty proving that you are lawfully resident in the UK;
if you leave the UK, you will usually need to obtain an EEA family permit before returning here, in order to guarantee readmission as the family member of a qualified EEA national; and
you may find it difficult to obtain or change employment.

I don't think that statement is correct, Section 3C rights only applies to application made under the Immigration rules, and not under the EEA regulations.

Although to prevent discrimination, the rights under Section 3C should apply mutatis mutandis to EEA applications, unfortunately it doesn't.

It will be accurate to inform someone on this forum that it does.

Having said so, it is noteworthy that family members acquires their right automatically, without the need for formal documentation.
