I would say try all possible ways to get an answer. also with what you just mentioned about your spouse not being in UK, it makes it more complicated as your basis for staying here are not there ( EU exercising treaty rights) unless of course her absence is temporary and less than 6 months.

@Shineangel: Yeah I won the appeal at First tier tribunal and HO has challenged that knowing that they will lose they thus have requested for an oral interview which I may say the Upper tribunal is not even aware of. I have not had any hearing dates yet for this hearing. I can prepare for the oral interview but I have more issues as my spouse left for Portugal when I could not work and sustain the family. As we speak I will be evicted from my house by the Housing Association by the end of the month due to no money as I have not worked for over a year now.

@Thetruth007hmm: All I can do is prepare as adviced

In my opinion the case is in the court and there's absolutely jo reason for interview, decision of upper tribunal is what you need your solicitors if he understands legal procedure should have silence them to either implement decision of first tier tribunal or wait for decision of upper tribunal. Your interview is not appropriate because you have a pending appeal. If your solicitors knows his job very well you need not to attend the stupid interview. Good luck

If ukba have proof of your spouse no more in the UK or not exercising treaty rights in the UK anymore, you have no basis for staying in the UK. That's the honest truth. Good luck

I do not think its appropriate for the Home office to call you for an interview when there is an impending case at the upper tribunal.Your solicitor should write them telling them that you wont attend and that they have no right to ask for an interview.You should write a letter to your local MP about their spurious action and also to UKBA public complaints unit.Do not go for any interview.I had the same situation when they came to my house when my case was at the tribunal and i kept reminding the UKBA officers that they are harassing and embarrassing my life .They left and i have gotten my RC since then.All they are going to do is to find evidence or loopholes to support their case as they clearly have none at this stage.The upper Tribunal may have asked for bundle for their claims and since they do not have any,they have no option than to coerce you to come.Tellyour lawyer to tell them that all further correspondence will be after the Tribunal decides

@ diangelo I've said similar thing if you read my comment about the stupid interview. This is how some incompetent solicitors or lawyers misled client a sensible lawyer or solicitors should have silence ukba to implement tribunal decision or wait for upper tribunal decision.

Thank you for the advice. I have written to my MP and you will be shocked at the response HO gave to him.

From the information available to me I can see that the Home Office have challenged the original decision of the First Tier Tribunal to Allow this application and we been granted Permission to appeal to the Upper Tier Tribunal. This permission has been granted and the hearing is due to be heard on the 3 October 2013. I have been advised that the Home Office believe that there is an error in law in several areas of this case and they are challenging the Allowed decision on this basis.

I have also been informed that not only did *name* not provide sufficient evidence with his EEA Residence Card application but he submitted photocopies of documents which are not acceptable to either the Home Office or the courts. The Home Office have also not accepted the website certificate supplied by him. The onus is always on the applicant to provide the correct and relevant information at the time of consideration. I have also been informed that the Home Office are not legally obliged to review a case before it goes to appeal but in certain circumstances they can do so if there is new evidence submitted by the applicant. *name* has not submitted any new evidence and it seems that this case will have to be decided by the courts.

This is after submitting all the necessary original copies of evidences and they have not returned just one back to me. Can you imagine how incompetent these HO is? They have no records of what I have sent to them.

Appeal and re submission at the same time

Post by Thetruth007hmm » Tue Sep 10, 2013 12:01 pm

Hi Everybody.

I have appeal pending which is about to be heard few months to come at Tribunal Court of Hearing. At the same time i have also strong supporting evidence that i can use now to resubmit fresh new application.

Advice please! Should i Send this new application without withdrawing the case first? or should i send it and with draw the case. ? As HO are unpredictable no matter how many loads and loads of evidence you provide they might still refuse and am scare would be waste of time again to appeal so would rather go to the court.

Yeah you can submit fresh application without withdrawing pending appeal. As long as you sure you have enough document to overturn reason for refusal in your previous application. I know someone on this forum that applied during appeal and the fresh application qas considered, he now have his rc. Good luck

RCs

Post by BonoVox » Wed Sep 11, 2013 10:08 pm

People,

Have anyone got the RC recently? Me and my wife applied EEA1 and EEA2 on May, my wife got her residence visa (for europeans) alongside with all our documents 2 months after, but no sign of my RC and passport. It will be 6 months in Novemeber. We haven't got any letter for interview and no visits. Is anyone in the same situation? My adviser told me not to call or complain or request my passport back, because they can deny it.

Hi BonoVox,
I am in the same situation. We had the EEA1 already and sent EEA2 forms 11th May. Received COA 17th May and no news since then. Just waiting... good to see that I am not the only one though! Good Luck.
