The interesting part is, Is it possible to continue working when your COA has expired and still not received RC?
Also this quote What can they do if their employers ask for proof of eligibility to work in the UK once
the va
lidity of the certificate of application has passed?
If an applicant
’
s COA has expired, it still rema
ins valid until they receive our
decision.
E
mployers should always check with
contact the European Enquiry Contact Centre on 0845
010 5200
to confirm the
right to work, so the applicant should not be disadvantaged by a COA
that is over 6 months old. The only exception to this in the EAA Zambrano cases were we
automatically renew the COA if the 6
-
months has expired
.
If an applicant has not received a reside
nce card within 26 weeks of their application, they
should either contact the European Enquiry Contact Centre on 0845 010 5200 or write,
quoting their reference number,
to UK Border Agency.
