It seems like when ROR applications are straigth forward they are resolved fairly quickly. Should I be concerned by the fact that they have sent me a COA that doesn't confirm my right to work although my RC is still valid?

You need not to worry bout the COA,the letter that was sent with my new RC still indicates family member of EEA national.which I believe it a generic letter.

You should ask them to send you the correct covering letter. I heard that when travelling immigration officer not familiar with EU regulation can be funny.

Under EU law, you'll still retained the right of a family member and you are treated as such. The only difference is you will no longer depend on your ex.

Hi Yemco,

Did your COA gave you right to work? I am just wondering on which basis they confirm right to work or don't.

Thanks,

I have to use this opportunity to thank all the contributors on this platform because even though this is my first post, I do come on this site occasionally when I need any clarification and I have never been disappointed.

I think it's good idea to post this to encourage those that are still awaiting their RC.

Like Yemco's post above, my timeline which took roughly 7 weeks is as follows:

Application sent 23th April 2013
Received 24th April 2013
COA received April 29th
RC (ROR) received 12th June 2013


....All thanks to God Almighty!

Another thing I was curious to find out was about the covering letter that came with my passport

There are 2 letters:

The first one I saw is like the one that was first issued when I got my residence card after we got married some 4 years ago.

The second letter which I later saw inside the envelope states that I am not dependent on my ex-wife any more.....since we are divorced.

I hope this clarifies any questions on this



Cheers

Yes, but the letter isn't relevant anyway.

I got a mail from a member of the forum asking about the documents I submitted.

The docs are:
A copy of my ex-wifes letter of employment & last pay slip
A copy of my letter of employment & last pay slip
The divorce cert
My ex credit card bill
My credit card bill
My ex phone bill
Only my passport and 2 passport photo


I think it helped that I could get all these because she was ready to provide them and I also think that it helped that we are both in employments which was ok.

I would think other scenarios like self-employment etc should not be that different but cooperation of the ex-wife was vital.


If there is anything I remember, I will post it.

I will think the letters that accompanied my passport are not relevant, but I have read somewhere on this forum that it's good sometimes to have it......and I don't think it could be a bad idea having it!

All the best to everyone

Hello Yemco,

I have also received the wrong covering letter for my ROR. I am planning to write to them as well . Did you also email them to get it corrected?

Thanks
