Hi everyone,

I, my husband (EU citizen) and my son (EU citizen) have applied for EEA4 and EEA3 visas.I am abit worried cause my situation is so similar to @Hybrid .
My partner was self-employed for 3 years but he hasn't got any invoices or receipts. We only have a letter from his accounter for this period. However, we added some payslips(8months)from his new job.When he was working as self-employed ,i was full-time employed my annual salary was around £23000. We did not get any benefits till my son was born.
I hope we won't get the same results as Hybrid got.

Hi all

I am seriously laughing out loudly as I composed this comments.
reason is they ask me for feedback on their services. I simply wrote Assholes!!!

EEA4 submitted 15/08/2014 received by H.O 18/08/2014 COA dated 28/08/2014.

PR refused on the 18/10/2014 just received today.

Reason I divorced in a church so the certificate from the church is not acceptable.

They quoted Regulation 10(5)(a) and that '' you have failed to provide a valid divorce certificate and therefore there is no evidence that the marriage has been terminated and you cannot therefore retain a right of residence until decree absolute is obtained. The divorce certificate you provided is not a substantive evidence of divorce. This department need to see a decree absolute as evidence of your divorce. You have failed to provide evidence that you meet the requirement of regulation 10 (5) and you have therefore not retain a right of residence following divorce or that you have resided under the regulation for 5 continuous years to qualify for permanent residence. Therefore a decision have been made to refuse to issue the confirmation that you seek under regulation 15 (1)(f) with reference to regulation 10(5)''

background Married in June 2009 leaved together until divorce in Aug 2014.

My EEA4 submitted on the 15/08/2014
received 18/08/2014
payment taken 22/08/2014.
Now the waiting begins.
Can anyone advice how long and what to expect.
I got divorce this month from a local church not in a court although got married in U.K in a Anglican Church.
I submitted for every year since 2009 p60 for 5 years joint bills both gas and elec, water bills some payslips including the divorce certificate from the local church.
My passport, my p60 and tax returns forms
NO EEA National I.D or Passport due to refusal of helping
I have read some people saying without the I.D I will be refused is that correct?

TWO MONTH AFTER just today we received the whole folder back from home office

[Bill9]

Hi everyone,

my time line:
EEA4 Application sent on 28/05/14 rceived by HO on 29/05/14 payment taken same date.
first letter of application received on the 30/05/14
COA received on the 06/06/14 dated 05/06/14
PR received on 24/10/14 dated 21/10/14 so exited after 4 months and 3 weeks

I applied as a family memeber of EEA.

just some tips for everybody out there.

i applied after 4 years and three months of marriage only, my EEA recidence is still valide until November 2015 and was not cancelled.

if someone wants to apply after 4 years of marriage as long as your EU partner has been exercising treaty right for 5 years you go ahead.

good luck to everyone

[Mirth]

@ gemsj: I still have to collect my documents from solicitor, so not sure about PR issue date. I would advise to wait for a bit, I'm sure your application is being processed now!

@ Bill9: This is pretty damn interesting case!!! CONGRATULATIONS First of all, I have never heard of anything like applying for PR with less than 5 years of marriage! You can well apply before the expiration of 5 years Resident Permit provided you have been married for 5 years by then. So, I'm a little bit confused! My husband confirmed his settlement in UK in early 2010, so theoretically I could have applied MUCH earlier... Did you speak to solicitor before applying? I remember I have been told that I could have applied for ILR after 2 years based on my husband UK settlement, but that would be according to UK Immigration Law, not European (what all of us are using with EEA2 / EE4).

[gemsj]

Hi mirth

@ Mirth: I know few friends that have applied for PR after 4 years and few months of marriage and qualified for PR, I didnt send my application with a solicitor i sent it by my self. i have spoken with few solocitors in the past and they told me that i cannot apply unsless i have 5 years of mariage from the day i got married.
it semms like few solicitor dont realy know that you could acutaly do that.

if you need more information let me know
