EEA RC

hi hoping some one could explain and advise me on my case.

I applied to switch to tier 2 from my tier 4 student visa in 2013 with ready to go cos before my last leave expired. Then the employer delayed to give me COS hence my application was refused and i appealed. I had my hearing date and my employer was struggling to get me a COS but he still couldn't get one for some reasons. (problems in the company) which is UNCLEAR. I requested for paper hearing on the day of my oral hearing. After a while i received my refusal letter again and i applied for permission to go to UT and its been dragging and im already tired as it has been 2 years now. i am confused here. i have been living with my eea unmarried partner (already working) and thinking to apply for RC under EU regulations. i have gone through the forum and found useful information.

Q1. Can i apply for RC while i have appealed to UT?

I read, from this forum which is originally from,

https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... utstanding

In it,APL1.20 says-
Applicant makes fresh application while an appeal is outstanding;
"A person who has an appeal pending can make a fresh application for entry clearance in the same or any other category. There is no requirement for a person to withdraw an appeal. If an appellant is subsequently issued an entry clearance, Post must inform the Tribunals Service at: eco.contact@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk. The ECO must ensure that a proforma of Withdrawal of Decision is also sent to the Tribunals Service and this appeal will stop."

Q2) will i be refused? or will i be considered as i am trying for a different revenue?

Q3) i would have appeal rights un EU regulations, but is it in country?

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2006 ... 003_en.pdf
from the above pdf page 18 "out of country appeal"
it is my understanding i will be given in country appeal. Still id like to know others opinions. experiences and understanding please.

looking forward desperately for helps and advice.

thank you in advance.

How long have you been living with your EEA national partner and do you have evidence of this?

Note that APL1.20 is referring to entry clearance applications and appeals from outside the UK.

As an application for an EEA residence card under the EEA regulations is not an application for a "variation of leave" under the Immigration rules, Section 3C should not prevent you from making the application.

Hence, you may apply.

I don't think that you need to withdraw your appeal. Where is your passport?

Then just apply. Inform them that they already have your passport.

If they accept that you are in a durable relationship with a qualified EEA National, then you should succeed.

Not sure about in-country rights of appeal.

I have seen one case like yours before... The problem was that after being refused for Tier2 the applicant applied for EEA FM which was refused because they have taken into consideration his immigration history... and considered his marriage one of convenience thinking he took the EEA route just just stay in the UK after failing with the TIER route .
so he has to leave the country and apply for a family permit and come back again to apply for the RC which he got 4 months after his application.

Yeah he did possess evidence of a long term cohabitation, still didnt help!

hi because i had this job linedup soon after i finished my studies, going into eea wouldnt let me work for 6 months as unmarried. My idea was to first get tier 2 and then apply for eea which leaves me with the right to work under tier 2 until i receive my rc. Which lets me continue my work eitherway. any ideas?

I'm not sure if they would claim a marriage of convenience when the parties are not married.

Hi again Vinny,

yea i think so :D

anyways, did u have a chance to read the pdf fie i posted about IN COUNTRY rights of APPEAL. I would like to know your understanding from part 6 in that pdf file which is on page number 17 ,point number 26. I appreciate if you could please have quick look and share your thoughts.

speaking to the fellow member,
he pointed out HO would think i am choosing eea to reside in the uk as an easy option as my tier 2 didnt workout. It goes back to my original post which is

"Q2) will i be refused or will i be considered as i am trying for a different option?"


speaking of which,Would they consider my immigration history for RC?


looking forward for ideas.

Thankyou in advance.

It's unclear at the moment.

They are denying in-country rights of appeals for people who they suspect have entered into a marriage of convenience, by saying that the EEA regulations are not applicable because they are not family members.

So, if they deny that you are not an extended family member, then I suppose that they may also claim that the EEA regulations are not applicable as well. Therefore, no in-country rights of appeal?

Q6) Once i post my EEA application, what happens to my appeal which is pending at UT meanwhile?"
as you say the application will not affect my appeal, i would like to know, what happens to THE APPEAL after i post my EEA application? would it be canceled automatically? Or do i still expect an answer from my appeal even after my application to EEA rc?

looking for advice please.
thankyou. :cry:
