Hi everyone....got this email today:)))))

Your non EEA partners case has been issued and is in the process of the residence card vignette being printed onto the passport. This is the responsibility of another department so I am unable to give you timeframes. I would expect that you should receive the residence card within 14 days. If you do not please email me back and I will make further enquiries

After replying that his passport is actually with us as we had requested it back for travels we undertook he replied that it would be issued on A4 and that we should notify the tribunal to withdraw our appeal. Do I withdraw the appeal before we actually receive the RC in our hands or wait?

Over the moon right now to receive this news!!!!

It seems like HO have overcome the technical issues and they are sending out RC's one by one good luck to everyone waiting!

Don't withdraw your appeal until you receive your RC, just in case

I'm in the process of Appealing against home office decision to refuse my application...that my wife's Passport was reported lost or stolen (my wife went to her embassy without informing me and got a new Passport to travel to her country,was over six months of applying) And I'm appealing that she did not made any report as at that time of my application,which I'm not so sure of)and my employer says she has to do employability checks,if i can work while waiting for an hearing and the appeal outcome!
My Questions are;
1.Will this employability checks allow me to work and how can i convince my employer if it doesn't..,!
2. My wife has moved back to Spain as her father is sick in her country and her help is highly needed as the only child to look after him.
We are just 11 months into our marriage and what will happen if she doesn't come back..!

Well I guess if she comes back to UK within few weeks or months and continues exercising treaty right you have rights to live here and work, however if your EU wife decided to move back to her own country for good , you have not rights of residing in UK and you will be asked to leave or be deported.

hurlar,

something is fishy in your application. in my experience, the only people who do that are those who engage in sham marriages. i am not saying it is a crime cos that way i will be judging.but figure it out for yourself (what if she never comes back) truth is she was never with you in the first place...just make sure you do not lose contact with her.even if you gain your rc, the issue of this will await you in five years time...so it is your call...

[boa90]

Can someone please give me the email for LNC23?

thanks

Thanks for your honest reply,she has always been with me and this ain't sham at all...! The main reason she made her decision is that she owed two banks some money and threatening letters has been sent to her about taking her to court to pay the money and her contract has ended at work because of her English language issues...Her Dad has a business in Spain,which she's trying to go there and manage as he's ill...! But she did promised to come back and help me and what if she decides to move back and left me again,and doesn't ready for pregnant...! I'm just confused.

hurla,

then move to spain with her.stand by her and help her with her work. that way things would take more time, but will work out. if u decide to stay here without her, then you might be deported. as the rules stands,you must always be with her.you can travel to spain with her even without a visa.your marriage certificate is enough.and in most cases,your marriage certificate is enough for you to return to the uk as well. just be wise,so you dont break rules.

Hey guys,
Yesterday(23/08/13) i got my Residence Card approved . Here is my application timeline :

applied for RC in : 07 June 2013
COA Received in: 14 June 2013( With right to work).
RC Approved in 24 July and Received in 23 August 2013.

I got with my RC a letter from HO stating that if my EEA spouse decide to leave the UK or cease practicing his/her treaty rights than it will be like i have to leave the country or prove that i am able to maintain my right to reside in UK.

So my Question is,if my wife decide to stop working will that affect my residence in UK?(Please note that i am currently working)

Technically your wife EEA national should normally be in active employment or registered job seekers in case she lost her current job or her job contract end this will help you when you are applying for your PR. However in case of divorce or separation after three years together you can apply for Retain right of residence but you are better off if she's working for the whole of 5 years. Good luck

[yamcheka]

Firas1990, did u follow up ur application? My husband is also an EEA National.

[firas1990]

@yamcheka.

all i did was the following:

I made a very simple application without enclosing a lot of documents . than i decided to not focus about the application process cause i am sure that will make my life full of stress. So i did not contact the HO at all during the process of my application. and all was perfect Al Hamdu li Allah.

Hi can someone help me regarding this matter ....

I applied for tier4 visa last year, after that I applied for EEA1 + EEA2 quiet some times... when I submitted my EEA application my passport was with Tier4 team in Sheffield. It was almost 8 months when I didn't hear anything from HomeOffice
After sending a request email to find out how long it gonna take. I got a respond from Kathryne Elliot that I have my tier4 application outstanding please advice which one I want to proceed with in which I requested for EEA residence application.

After a week I got my Residence card (Immigration status document) on a A4 paper with all other documents I've submitted.

the only thing I haven't receive was my passport. well I filled up ROD form and submitted usually it takes 20 working days.

I called up HO to find out after 20 WORKING days that what's happening where is my Passport as I am travelling with my wife to Poland on the 7th of September 2013

I've been told by HO (Croydon) that my passport was sent from Sheffield to Liverpool and its with the LNC23.

I called again on 01516725626 to find out and they said they received my request and its still under process. They can only tell me if the passport has been dispatch or not.

Till now it hasn't been dispatch what should I do ? any suggestion would be appreciated

Thanks for your time
