Correct. Never lie, never makes things up. If one can't remember every little absence, state so in a covering letter (and that it was never more than 6 months, etc), don't fret. |

The applicant is not legally required to give details of his/her travel history so there is also no need to explain that in some lengthy cover letter. In case it was not clear: there is no requirement to use the application form at all nor can a partially filled form in itself be a reason for refusal. The applicant is completely free in showing how he/she satisfies the condition for PR and is not bound to any particular format. The items on the guidance/application form are typical examples not an exhaustive list. Useful to know for those who can't produce the "usual" documents for some reason.
Besides, I'm not complicating things here, I am just explaining. I write here my opinions just as you do. |

Correct, but if one wants a straight-forward process.... |

I'm not sure if you have payslips and P60s or not. If not, an employers' letter may help you. |

All you need to prove is that the EU national has PR (already done from what you've posted) and evidence that you lived in the UK with the EU national for five years. |

You will probably have to wait for quite a bit longer. It seems on average to take around 3 months to get COA, some never even got one.
My wife's application is 6 weeks old now, and (as expected) not a word yet. We were hoping they would send it together with my passport when I requested it back, but unfortunately no COA included. |

Note that, while it's customary, the UKBA are not legally obliged to send a COA at all for EEA4. In this case it's different to EEA2. All the same, it's discomforting to go so long without hearing anything. Mine took around 2 and a half months, so you're certainly not in unknown territory.
EEA4 sent: July 4
UKBA received: July 5
COA received: Sept 27 (dated Sept 24)
PR: ?? |

Unless you ask for the passport to be sent back to you, you will only receive it when a decision is made. Asking the passport back has no affect on the application (and in some cases might even speed it up). |
