hello bobobo i pm you just before reading this post cos one of the questions was about timeframe of your coa, i think you should be okay it takes homeoffice 3months on average to deal with eea4 applications, u said u applied end of august and counting from then that should take you to around end of november, when homeoffice send out requests i think it's usually by second class and they normally give applicants 21working days to reply so that should give you sometime till about 3rd week in december but then it depends on when in december your gonna be back. so hopefully you'll be alright and get back just in time for replying them.i hope everything goes well for you.bobobo wrote:I applied for confirmation of PR after RoR in end August. Got CoA by mid September. . I called the UKBA number on the COA and requested for my passport to be sent back, I got the passport back the very next day, the lady was very helpful and did go out of her way to arrange this. My Grandfather fell very ill and I thought I would go and see him.
The problem is that my application is still in the queue and I have a heavy travel schedule, where I will be travelling starting mid October and come back sometime mid December. I am not sure how HO would treat my application:
1. If they send me a letter requesting my passport back that would be great as it would give me 21 business days to return my passport.
2. If on the other hand they decide to stick it on an A4 paper and send everything back, and there is no one to collect it, things can get messy as Royal Mail will return the application to the sender.
Can anyone suggest what I can do so that I dont miss out on any package that the HO sends me. I have checked the KeepSafe service provided by Royal Mail, but that again would send any special delivery or signed for packages back to sender if not collected within 1 week.
Same problem is with P.O Boxes, can anyone suggest a work around or maybe a service I can use so that I am sure if my application was to be processed and PR issued on A4, my documents can be safe until I return.
Thanks in advance guys for anything you can suggest to resolve the issue.

what about the period between divorce and the end of your 5 years?
what about time you exercise treaty right after divorce!?
do you accompany the application with cover letter explain your situation?
*6.1eea national has exercised treaty right for 5 y
in the employment column i put date of her 3 years working+2 years working for me.

if she was working for 5 years before divorce i don't have to show i was working after divorce ?

again how can you define whats unnecessary, whatver you can send to prove your status is best, We have seen a number of cases where HO have asked for more information so there is no benchmark here....mcovet wrote:1. Marriage cert (not necessary as you are NOT meant to have it, but must submit it during the petition and especially that the Decree Absolute clearly states the date of the marriage), decree absolute and decree nisi (neither decree nisi is required, only the date of the petition and decree absolute)
ofcourse you have your marriage certificate, you get 2 copies. where did this come from??? Also you can submit nisis and or petition (petition has reasons for divorce which is personal information and should not be sent as divulges personal information
2. proof of co-habitation for 3 years + including bank statements, tenancy agreement, utility bills, bank docs etc (not necessary as you supply No.5 below and employment history for 5 years is enough proof of residence. Co-habitation is not a legal requirement, only marriage and presence in the UK even at different addresses.)
again this is your personal view!!!! better to be safe than sorry
3. my employment history for last 5 yrs as proof of residence, I presume, otherwise your employment is only relevant after the divorce has been finalised and till you've reached 5 years' residence)
4. eea national letter from employer + payslips covering 6 year per(until one month after the divorce) (alternatively, PR card if they prudently obtained one)
i wonder how anyone can get the PR card after divorce, especially when say you are no meant to have the Marriage certificate.
5. copy of the letter sent by HO confirming I had RoR successfully
6. completed form eea4.
it all weights about 2kgs.
Try not to send unnecessary documents unless requested later by the UKBA. ESPECIALLY if you have already had the confirmation of Retention of Right via the EEA2 form, makes your life easier during the EEA4 app.
