Hi all, I finally received my 5 year residence card as the unmarried partner of an EEA National, below is my timeline: Documents Sent on: 03/07/2017 Money Taken: 06/07/2017 Confirmation email received: 12/08/2017 Biometrics Letter and COA received together: 12/08/2017 (dated 09/08/2017) Biometrics D...
Hiya, Yes original!! Not sure if they accept photocopies or online copies, don't quote me on it. When my partner applied for PR, the guidance said original documents only so I assumed this would apply for this as well. Bank statements had to be original, if not, you can have the online version but y...
Hi Eliza, yes my employer did get a reply within 5 working days. I didn't show my first COA and I also didn't tell them I couldn't work. I just told them to do the check. When I finally received the second COA I then did show it to them.
Hiya, I didn't get my passport back, in fact they keep it during that whole process unless you request it back for travel. We're not travelling anyway and plus I have no way of re-entering at the border once my youth mobility visa expires and doubt they will give me a tourist visa unless I have some...
You are not protected by 3C if you are applying for anything (permit/visas) that is related to the EEA as an unmarried partner, so I knew I was going to overstay once my YM visa expires in 2 weeks but since they gave me a COA with right to work and my Employer Checking Service came out positive - he...
Hi Eliza, I didn't write a letter but I did write an email to NWEUROCOARequests@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk and to pdcteam52@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk to ask them to fix my COA. My email was strongly worded but they have 21 days to write back to me. My revised COA letter with right to work probably had NOTHIN...
Hi there, If you are already in the UK you should stay here and just apply for the residence card, it unfortunately MUST be done via post so you have to print out the ridiculous forms and fill it in. Or you can leave the UK and return to your home country and apply for the Family Permit which you MU...
All, You wouldn't believe it, but my employer did a Home Verification check to see if I am able to work past my youth mobility visa. The sent back a Positive Verification Check, stating i have the right to work past my Youth Mobility visa until 06 February, 2018....while my COA says I cannot work! W...
Thank you for your response, are my best options to request my partners' and mine (obviously!) passport back from Home Office and leave the country and go back to Canada to apply for a Family Permit with all the original documents (guess I will be making a lot of phone calls tomorrow to banks and ut...
We have been living together for 2 years and 1 month consecutively. We have all the bills and paperwork to support this and we have a mortgage on our current London flat; however, we are not married!
Hi Dave, Can I ask what you and your partner have decided to do? I'm in a similar situation - Canadian on a youth mobility visa and my boyfriend is Irish. I know that if I apply for a residence card it will take 6 months and my YM visa would have expired then and my COA will give me no right to work...
Hi guys, Just wanted to know for those applying for a residence card as the unmarried partner of an EEA national , have any of you thought that you might be considered as an overstayer while you wait for the outcome of your application (obviously if your current visa is expiring soon)? I received my...
Hi all, I am Canadian and am currently on Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa (expires 07 September) and I have applied for an EEA extended family member Residence Card as the unmarried partner of my Irish boyfriend. I received my biometrics letter and the Certification of Application together today and it s...
