Hiya
Does anyone know if it is possible for me to work full time while i am waiting for my CoA to arrive? I currently have a job but it is only 19hr a week and i was wondering if i took my marriage certificate and spouses passport they will be willing to increase my contracted hours?
thanks

i am pretty sure that your legal status changes as soon as your married.COA is just a proof of that,no harm in trying doe plus your employer can phone HO employee checking service to confirm.good luck

I spoke to work and they said i needed to show proof so would have to wait for the COA.

Out of curiosity Ribenamango, why was ur RC refused after 5months??????. It is crazy after such a long time of waiting

any update guys for november application? timeline so far 2/11/2011 coa and eea1 approved 12/12/2011 still in the game waiting for RD CARD. ribenamango i feel sorry for you to get refuse after 5 month waiting, can you tell us why you got refused after such long time?? and do you have the right to appeal???

i need to ask you,the home office holding my passport since they refused my application for indfinte leave to remaine before as i was married to british citizen, and when i applied for eea2 we sent the application without my passport which they hold then the home office requested my passport so my lawyer write to them indicate that they hold it in my old file. do you think this what cause the delay????????

Hi mate,
when you applied for EEA2 did you submit your divorce certificate (decree absolute) with your application? I know its bit personal question but on what grounds they refused your ILR?? guess you were issued spouse visa for 2 years prior to applying for ILR??
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Mate,

Further to your previous message, you applied EEA2 on the basis of un-married partners with 4 months old baby, so you must have provided them with the evidence of you two cohabiting for 2 years or more?

hi mate, i did sumbite evidence that our relation is durable but we been together for 1 year and 4 month only but my lawyer said its ok as long as we got a child together so this will be prove that the relation is durable as eu law dosent need to be 2 years as long as the relation is durable

You should be OK, my guess is as good as yours as to how long you'll need to wait??!! Your passport is in there possession so it's just a matter of case worker making the decision which I think will be in your favour as your baby is involved, and the EU law overides the UK law (i.e. cohabiting for 2 years). So in short keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best result. I would rather wait until 6 months are finished before chasing them given the complexity of your case. I understand you're not the only one with these kind of unique cases but unfortunately, home office tends to drag these as far as they can till they are on the verge of issuing a status document.
