But it's really new thing that they are visiting people home at the time of PR.

If some EEA national worker/self employed, have a baby and she gone on the maternity leave , that time of maternity last for 28 weeks, is consider as gap or in this time she is right full reside in UK as self employed/worker?

The second when the minimum earning threshold for EEA self employed came in to source?

If I have answers for the above question, i may not claim all my 5 years but i can save some of them other wise i will have count from may 2015 onward for five years.

Hi Everyone

My Current EEA resident card will expire on October right, I understand you can apply up 6 months before the expiration date. So in theory I can apply now in May or June or any time after May .

Do they hold your passport while they are making the decision? or Because this is a separate card they send the passport back ( my current permit is not a card, is on my old passport)

I will be travelling in August and October and December. But if they hold my passport for say 3 or 6 months that means I can't travel for the time they take to make the decision?
Thanks

[hunpak]

[suzannedel]

Hi akz,

that's exactly what we've been told by our solicitor, that maternity leave count as a gap, therefore the maximum gap allowed is 6 months in the whole 5 years period.

Hi akz,

that's exactly what we've been told by our solicitor, that maternity leave count as a gap, therefore the maximum gap allowed is 6 months in the whole 5 years period.

Before start maternity i wrote to my solicitor:

"My wife is going to apply for maternity allowance as she is self employed web designer, so she will be on maternity leave for 39 weeks as I understand form you reply that all these 39 weeks will counts in her 5 years continuous stay as qualified person."


Answer fro solicitor:
She will continue to be treated as a self-employed person for the purpose of exercising her treaty rights in the UK.

[suzannedel]

hi akz,

what im sure of is that the naximum time allowed gap is 6 months so if shes considered to be self employed because on a maternity leave its fine, but 39 weeks means nearly 10 months gap ? its more than the 6 months allowed akz. its too much please ask another solicitor to keep your mind in peace and taking any risk... (ive been asking 3 different solicitor myself and found different answer for 2 of them....

Hi Guys,

I applied on 1st may. Sent new application form. Received Biometric registration letter on 18th may. Submitted biometric on 23rd may. From what I read is that from now on UKBA will be issuing a separate card rather than visa in passport. What ever they can implement but I only wish they process EEA PR application fast.

Regards

Yes I was legal and all was fine with my papers... I did not even use solicitor as all our documents were fine ..my husband worked same company for the last year with salary around 30 grand per year.. and we still married and live together.. I thought my application will be straight forward

I am not too sure why they decided to make a visit.
My husband is 12 years than I so it might be a reason...but not too sure...
I might be just unlike to get in a % of people they must visit..
Not sure..

[Andrewbird35]

Hi Love123
Half good and half bad news..
When did you get your passport back?
Iran when your Soliciter received your documents?
In terms of appeal I'm not sure about your 2 years gape.
Some law expert in forum can advice on it.
What about your Soliciter?What he/she says.
Good luck for your appeal..

And the HO haven't send any later to say why they gave me next 5 years. Or right to appeal

[jumpingzombie]

I sent the application EEA4 at 21/01 by recorded delivery, received by HO on the following day.

I received my passport returned for a travel on the Easter time in March.
I'm not sure if the process for my application has been diverted because of that, but have been waiting over 4 months.

I got my passport returned while applying for the RC 5 years ago as well, and I was waiting for it exactly 6 months.
