Hi PatiencePatience wrote:I applied for EEA2 4 weeks ago and received a COA today.
A one page document stating my application has been recieved and would be processed accordingly.Prompting me not to make any travel arrangements etc and not to contact them to inquire about processing times etc.
I was wondering if this is the same COA everyone gets.I thought it should carry some literature explaining the applicant can take up employment etc while waiting etc.
Can someone assist me with this?
Thanks.

Reading your post I can see that there isn't a standard certificate of application.
I received mine 1 week ago after waiting for more than 2 months. My COA consists in 2 pages stating that they received my application on the date that I submitted and that while they are processing my application I can reside freely in the UK and take up employment; this right comes from my husband who is a EU citizen. This is basically the first paragraph.
The rest of the first page says that I should not make any travel arragements if not urgent and not to contact them to enquiry about processing times.
The last page states that the COA only has a validity of 6 months starting the date that was issued and after that time I should show my employer my RC. It also says that if my employer has queries about my status HO can assist.
Hope this is helpful and let me know if you need more assistance.
Best,
Berith
Seems you've been sent an incorrect document. The correct CoA should mention your rights of residence and freedom to work while your application is under consideration.paris wrote:iam a NON - European married to a European and have hence applied for the Residence permit with the EEA2 application.
Any suggestions?

I am a nonEEA applying as the spouse of a qualified EEA. I came in on a Family Permit.Plum70 wrote:Patience and Paris: On what basis did you apply for the residence card? As a spouse of a qualified EEA national or an unmarried partner? I suspect that the COA text may be slightly different for both categories.
What address did they ask you to write to?paris wrote:I spoke to the HO today and they asked me to write in clearly stating that i needed a COA,mentioning eligibility to seek employment,6 months validity etc.

I just got back from work and I received
1x cover letter (dated 15th Jan)saying they have sent the letter on 24 sept 08 and they enclosed a copy of the coa for my records.
2 pages with the first page heading 'Certificate of Application' (dated 24 Sept)
1st page - that they have received my application and I can work w/o work permit & not to make any non-urgent travel etc. and abt employer should note that RC should be resolved within 6 months ad therafer I should be able to show employer the RC.last page abt minor and unmarried partner/extended family.
