By getting all that evidence mentioned,you have satisfactorily proven rsponsibility but you have not evidenced that fact that there is no other suitable family who can care for the child if you are removed.Go through the link provided by Prince74 and you ll understand the analogy

We just have to wait for ukba to start issuing DRC on zambano first or refusals(hope not) before we know the next step to take, because this whole case is not straightforward, what about people who can't find their partner, will they go and search for them and say " hey you want your kid"? It's not a straightforward case, or should we start getting restraining orders on our exes? Even in the drf1 form its asks if their is an alternative carer available, and I marked NO, a big fat NO.. they just don't want people applying for zambrano anymore...

I have received an email from Margie Clarke
European Casework Lead informing me that my Zambrano application is now being considered by a caseworker and that I would receive a response before the end of the week. This was in response to my email to Mr Rob Whiteman.

@Prince74, if I'm right,did you not apply through a solicitor? Can we communicate directly to ukba and vice versa even when a solicitor mediated?
In your case, do you think they will send decsion to you or your solicitor? Your last COA was sent directly to you. It's that right?
One thing is that I'm worried to take over by sending emails and letters which I've already done,but my solicitor Eventhough very competent, keeps saying he will act after the six month deadline if no decision is made by June,that's counting from when we filled in the new form in Nov. I actually applied in April 2012.
Any advice/suggestions?

As per the caseworkers instructions,Zambrano does not stem directly from 2004/EC/38 directives so they are not bound by the six months rule.
so you better start pressing now.You cannot hold them by the 6mth rule

I have a solicitor representing me, but I have been communicating with the UKBA directly without informing my solicitor. My solicitor is very competent and I have absolute trust in them, but I did not want to leave them to do everything. I am a stakeholder in this, so I must try and push buttons to see that things move forward from my own side.

The UKBA can either send decisions directly to the applicant or through their solicitor.

Hello all!
Any info from anybody, this is really sad and its obvious UKBA has a hidden agenda. This is definately taking TOOOO LONGGGGGG, I wish all involve could come together and take UKBA to EUROPEAN COURT OF JUSTICE for this thier tricks.

GOOD LUCK ALL!!

We were sent the new forms in November after the amendment of the EEA Regulation, but still waiting till now for Derivative residence card. All we can do is pray and wait this out. Good luck!
