Reply please

Hi ,

I have been reading this forum every day since I have problem with my RC, and it was very helpful. I need some advices about my situation. I will be very grateful if someone can explain some things to me.

My timeline:

(My Husband EEA, Me- NON EEA)

20 Jan 2015-sent application for RC,
28 Jan 2015 Received COA......
waiting 6 months. And 4 days before the 6 months period expiring I've got a refusal on
24 Jul 2015 (dated 08/07/15)with right to appeal ( documents still in HO).

The refusal is because when they check my husband employment , my husband changed his working company and they can not find out does my husband work or not.

So I have made an appeal, but I don't know what to do while I am waiting. Yesterday I lose my job because my employer said that they have received a letter from HO that I don't have right to work in UK any more. Do I have right to work while I am waiting for my appeal?

Should I make some request to the HO to send me another COA until the decision from the appeal is done?!?

And another question; I made booking for our summer holiday few months ago, and on the 2 Sep I need to travel. What should I do?
Should I ask them to give my documents back and how I can do that, and will they allow me to come back in the country even if I don't have any visa or RC.


Thanks in advance....

Hi,

To be short my eea2 was refused because we didn't send the new contract Of my husband. I sent all the paper for the appeal. I send the documents for reconsideration and the case worker refuse to reconsideration. It's been 2weeks and no letter or Nothing. Can you let me know how do you know about :
1) appeal allow or Not (timeline for letter or email)
2) the date Of trial

Thanks.

Hi! Has any one been to a appeal lately. And also anyone's refusal letter says that they have to go back to there country while the appeal is being processed ?

Hi,

Ra7 are you a march applicant?

You'll receive a letter after you appeal saying that they receive your appeal and then that you have until a day to sent more documents for consideration. if you don't have any documents to send then that's fine.

I have until the 30th september to do so. I think that i'll get a date of hearing after. I'll keep you posted.

We can keep in touch since nobody's replying. I'' be posting any updates that I have it might help somebody.

Hi blinxy!! Yes I am a March applicant. Had a interview and got
Refusal. Did you had any interviews or home visit ?

raf7 wrote:Hi blinxy!! Yes I am a March applicant. Had a interview and got

No home visit. The refusal is because we didn't send the new contract of my husband. When they called they told them that he wasn't working there anymore, so they considered that he wasn't exercing his treaty rights. He changed work so we made an appeal and provided all the evidence. I am waiting for a letter for the trial day. I don't know what is next so I can just wait for a letter or an email....

What was the reason of your refusal?

Oh right!! I think once you launch your appeal and submit the required documents, HO will withdraw from the opposition and you will not be needed to go to the court.

I had an interview and 2-3 answers of me and my wife didn't matched so mine got refused .. My solicitor said I will get my hearing date in March. What did your solicitor said ?

Oh I see!!!! To be honest I don't have a sollicitor.We didn't choose to go to the hearing and all procedure will be in papers!I don't think we need a sollicitor just for a contract update.... I'll let you know if I have something in the mail regarding a hearing date or something.

Then I think for everybody that have an appeal I will take time to give my full timeline so they know what to expect...

Let me know about you aswell. I think it can help others to share their experiences.

I also came up on this link and I think it's good to read some cases:(focus on those staring with "IA/")

https://tribunalsdecisions.service.gov.uk/utiac

Thanks blinxy!! That link is very
Helpful in giving an idea about what happens there. Are we allowed to work during the appeal.if yes, how can we proove it to the employer?

Hello all, it's over 3 months since my appeal allowed and I haven't get any news for HO and I made a call last week and they told me it's still in process. I did send letters to caseworkers but no reply , any ideas what is the next best step I can take to get any thing for them ?

Hello moon! Can you share more information about your case please

raf7 wrote:Hello moon! Can you share more information about your case please

Hello ref7 , my case is very different to all and I fight with them very hard to sort it out , in short they mixup my file with some one els file when I request my wife passport back

Hi i choose hearing appeal because HO has accused me of being married to my wife just for the sole purpose of me remaining in the country which in- short marriage of convinience. I choose the hearing because that way you can go with your partner and the Judge can see you both and will have the chance to talk to you and ask you questions and also the HO can see you.In my case there where not there and the Judge allowed my appeal on 19 of November.I got the letter on 24 of November.Today 1 of December i got letter from my solicitor to submit my passport again to the HO in order to implement the decision on my case.

If you have any questions i would be glad to answear them to you if i can .Wish you all the best and soon to receive your RC.

Hi Blinxy,

We are in exactly the same situation as you. I'm non EEA, my husband is EEA. He changed his workplace during my EEA2 application as well. We even called HO when he started working at new place and was told as it is unnecessary to send the update contract! Then 3 months later I received the refusal letter with cause "you have failed to provide any evidence as to how your EEA FM is currently exercising their treaty rights in the UK".

We have chosen to appeal because we called HO and the person on the phone told us that it may take 4 months if we go for appeal while new application will take 6 months (after reading 50 pages of this forum, seem that it is not true!). We have chosen the hearing (without solicitor). Since then 6 weeks already we have no news from FTT. I see that they can have up to 8 weeks for reconsideration.

- How did they informed you about reconsideration?
- Have you heard from them since then and how (email/call/letter)?
- Anyone knows who is MP ? How to contact them ? (sorry it may be a silly question)

@Blinxy Let's keep updated our situation since we have very similar case, it may help the others as well. I'm so relieved that this forum does exist !

Here my EEA2 appeal timeline:
COA of EEA2 application 04/06/2015
EE2 application refused letter dated 17/10/2015, letter received 20/10/2015
Appeal form sent 22/10/2015

My solicitor applied for court appeal 11 weeks ago and hasn't received any reply regarding the hearing date yet. Anyone in the same situation ??

its been 6 months, havent got hearing date yet, any idea HOW LONG ??

Hi all,


Little update. Basicly @koroko

- How did they informed you about reconsideration? I sent a reconsideration letter to the agent in charge of my application he replied sayind he's not going to reconsider because I was aware that I needed to send the new cotract as mentionned in the application. He told me to either do a new application or appeal

- Have you heard from them since then and how (email/call/letter)?

I choose the same option as you without sollicitor. By choosing that option you'll never know when they're going to review your case. You're in the queue and when a judge is available your case will be reviewed.

I call the tribunal 3 times and got 3 different stories:
1- the lady I got on the phone told me that the procedure can take around 3-4 months for the judge to consider and make a decision. I can keep calling to see if there is updates. They'll not send you a letter letting you know if you have a hearing date or not. You'll only receive a letter to let you know the issue of your appeal

2- the guy told me that the average time is around 8 to 12 months for the judge to take a decision. No letter send to you until the decision is made by judge.

3- can't give me informations about the case only that the received it and that I am on the queue.


So after submitting your appeal your need to wait until the judge takes a decision if you take the option of not taking a sollicitor. That is insane. The first time I made my application it was in January 2015 and re-apply in March because the payment didn't get through (total lie from HO)
So basicly 1 year almost waiting for my RC!!!! I also heard that after the decision if the HO doesn't try to appeal against the decision it will take another 6 months for them to process the RC....

Hi Blinxy,

I called HO and also the Tribunal and had also many different versions. Basically :

- There isn't reconsideration because it is only applied for people who have applied from outside UK. So I won't have a reconsideration neither b/c I applied from inside UK.

- Timeline for appeal is very different from one case to another. It could be 4 months up to more than a year. When I called HO they advised me to go for appeal because they told me that it will take only around 4 months. I shouldn't do that because they told me now that it can take a year or more !

- I haven't any new from them since 2 months, I called 3 times and was told to be patient. I've chosen to have a hearing so I'm on the waiting list for now.

- About HO try to appeal against the tribunal's decision, I read in this forum that they have 3 months after the day of decision...

Fingers crossed for you and everyone in the same situation. And happy holiday by the way
