EEA4 fast processing times or wishful thinking

Hanaali wrote:Hi all,

I am very new to this forum and will appreciate positive feedbacks please. Below are the recap of my journey;

Came to UK in 2006 after my EEA Uncle who arrived in 2005.
I am an Extended Family Member of an EEA National and lived with him before moved
Both myself and wife applied for EEA 2 in 2008 and RCs were granted in 2009
I have being in work since 2008 till date I.e. Registered Self Employments (2008-till date) for myself and Wife with Tax Returns completed every year, PAYE Employment for myself and I am on a good salary since 2009 when RCs were received till date.
I now have 3 Children all born in UK, own over £200,000 Property
Since August this year, I have been unable to contact my uncle because he has moved out of UK
Solicitor advised that EEA4 (Retained Right of Residence) due to departure of my a Uncle from UK
EEA4 submitted on Nov.5th 2014
HO received EEA4 on the 6th Nov.2014
CC debited with full money for the family on 7th Nov.2014 & receipt received on 14/11/2014.
COA dated 25th Nov.2014 was received on 27th Nov.2014. (My COA and that of my wife read 'Employment can not be confirmed because we did not submit all original documents of evidence of my sponsor exercising Treaty rights' while my children COAs mentioned insufficient original Treaty rights documents and proof of their relationship with EEA sponsor were not submitted despite that they are my children and long and short birth certificates were submitted.
Email was also sent to me on the 26th Nov.2014 confirmed that our applications are being considered and that it may take upto 6 months.

Followings were some of the documents submitted with EEA4 Form;
Sworn Affidavit in reference to Reg.10 (5c and 5d(iv); 6a and 6b), Reg.15 (1 f(i) and f(ii) having satisfied Reg.7(3), Reg.6(1b,c and e) and Reg.8(4 and 6); EC Work Instruction Chapter 2 (s.7.1a and 7.1c) and Chapter 6 (s.2 and 6.2 Completion of 5 Years Residence after ror).
5 Years a Employment Payslips, P60s, HMRC Tax Returns, NI Contribution were submitted
UK Land Registry Documents, Mortgage Statement and Bank Statements
5 Years Council Tax Bills, TV Licence, Utility Bills, Education Records (children and my OU Degree Results Statement, Pension Documents, EHIC Cards for all the family
Birth Certificates, Marriage Certificates including those of my children and that of my late mother who was related to Uncle.

My Questions are;
Although I am an Extended Family Member of EEA, Why COA with unconfirmed right to work and does it have any implication on my current work?
Can I request for a revised COA? Please note that they said that they will not revisit the term of the COA while my Application is being considered.
Having applied through ROR where my 5 Years Employment should be regarded as Treaty Rights, why quoted in the COA that I have not submitted all original Treaty Exercise Documents of my Sponsor who I have already informed that he has left UK
Having submitted all my children's BCs (Long and Short), why quoted in their COAs that proof of their relationship with EEA National were not all submitted.
How Long can it take HO before issuing PR please?
In 2012, I appealed against refusal to grant my mother in law a visiting visa and the appeal was granted and Visa issued. Could this have any impact?

Please advise

Thanks

kkuk wrote:Hey guys,

Just an update regarding our EEA3/4 application

We were called for an interview after requesting to prioritise
PR applications.
Were invited for interview which was held today.
About 90 questions asked from both of us, got couple of questions mixed up but everything else went smoothly.
Got the interview printed once we were done and noticed a couple of typing mistakes, a lots of spelling errors etc.

For example earning I told them 700/800 per month and she typed 700/800 per week and then 180/200 per week!!
But obviously interview was audio recorded so I hope caseworker may hear the tape to rectify/clear the misunderstanding.
Overall very confident. May hear something in a week or two.
Special thanks to Chaoclive who answered every query.



Will keep you lot updated.

Regards

I'm really new at this, this is my very first time to join and post something in a forum. Have been reading most of the messages on this thread and I felt hopeful that maybe someone can shed some light on my situation.

I've submitted my eea4 application just last nov 29, and checking on royal mail tracking its said to be received last dec 2. I've seen some posts saying they've received a reference letter/COA regarding their application, but up to today I have not received anything about my application. I am a little worried as my previous residence document is going to run out soon. I know I should have applied maybe a month earlier but due to unforseen circumstances I wasn't able to do so. I don't really know what to do, kept trying to look online for a contact number to call or email regarding my application but cannot seem to find one. It might be too early but I'd rather find out now than later if maybe I've some documents lacking or I made a mistake on the application.

Can anyone please advise me on what should I do next. Many thanks in advance.
