Hi raj,

Av u checked if your application has been received by HO in the first instance? If you av used a recorded sign for postage, u can be able to track its delivery and signature.

Confirming that, u can then look into if payment is to be taken or taken, and try contact them.

Hi Akz,

You are right. It should be 2 weeks. Why don't you call the tribunal for an update?

I'm in the same situation as you. My PR application was refused last month and I have appealed it.

The HO caseworker stated that I provided photocopies of my spouse payslips & P60's for 3 years and for this reason I haven't shown that she exercised her treaty rights.

The payslips & p60's were the one her employer sent to her as official copies hence i submitted them. How do i know HO will regard them as photocopies?

I have since requested for a work history statement from HMRC & a certificate of earnings from her then employer.. All these i have included as supporting documents while appealing.

However, my wife was on maternity for 20 months and HO did not mention any thing about this..What did the Judge say during your appeal regarding this? As HO did not mention this, I 'm hoping they won't mention it @ my hearing. Although, i was working all the time.

Did you apply for RC or you have been waiting for your appeal all the while?

Please give me a time line on your appeal and kindly update me on the outcome of it.

I wish you all the best.

tnx
J

Hi

Actually anyone who is in worker status can take a maternity break for 52 weeks for a child during this time they will still be consider a person with right to reside status and this time will count in you 5 years right to reside status. Please try to send as much as prove possible for employment that will be good, as we have not send some invoices for some periods and that was the only point HO representator discuss that why we did not send it before and presenting it in appeal. I hope my decision will come soon then i will explain it to you in detail, but you can check my previous post where i have explain my situation in detail.

In my hearing HO office and judge was looking for employment continuity that did my wife work continuously without any gaps. and we provided the invoices and bank statement for that gaps, also we mentioned that we were on annual holiday one month to home country during that gaps.

Hi jerome, reading your post,
I seems to be similar bit as u, regarding the p60s. My eea partner, was given abt 2 or 3 yrs electronic printed copy p60s from her employers, i used it with my pr application. After reading few issues on forum, that ho refuses application with such cases, my eea wife, wrote a separate letter weeks after i recieved my coa, to the dept and case worker, particularly abt the e-copy printed p60s, stating they are not fotocopies, they are original copy given to her by her employer. Letter was sent recorded and signed for.

So hopefully the case worker look into it.

Still waiting for PR...

Hi Akz,

Thanks for the update. Yes, I have gone through your previous post. I see HO wanted prove for the missing invoices for your wife and since you have provided that. I believe it will go in your favor.

Why can't HO request for this before making a decision rather than refusing?

I have sent as much documents as I can to prove the Payslip's & P'60 I submitted were genuine.

Also my wife was on maternity after our first child and got pregnant again after 4 months. This was the reason she was on maternity for 20 months. I submitted copies of my children birth certificate to the HO during our application & also to the tribunal.

Did HO mention about your wife not working during maternity or this was a general discussion @ the appeal?

Please kindly give me a clear review of your appeal process..i.e
when refusal letter was sent
when you appealed
when a hearing was chosen
etc

I want to use this as a time line guide for my appeal.

Also, you didn't answer if you have applied for a Residence Card since your refusal.

Please keep me posted and I will suggest you call the Tribunal office. I did yesterday to confirm my appeal was received. They were very friendly and helpful.

Thanks

Hi Smallpie,

I strongly believe this forum helps and I have been following it for a while.

Unfortunately, i did not know HO were particular about e-copy printed p'60's although it states on their EEA3 guidance note that photocopy docs are not acceptable. They quoted this in my refusal letter.

You have done the right thing by writing your case worker about the e-copy printed p'60 but why not call HMRC and request for a Work statement history? It took 5 working days to receive mine from them and send this to your Case worker in case.

If i had done this, i won't be worrying myself like I am now.

I wish you all the best and keep me posted.

tnx

Thanks jerome,
Really appreciate your advice,
my daughters used these e-copy p60s for their British passport application and we had no issues with them at all.
All came back okay., but as we all know homeoffice eea caseworkers can be different.

But i will take to your xtra advice and ask wife to request from hmrc, for these statements. Can hmrc provide five years together in one statement? i.e from say 2010-2015? Or they will just issue one for each year??

Yes I have applied for Rc card in July my time line for that is :
EEA2 application

07/07/15 applied
15/07/15 Received by HO
27/07/15 Biometrics letter received (dated 23 July); enrolled at the day
14/08/15 -August CoA (dated 09 Aug)
RC Received 02/12/2015



My PR (EEA4) card refused on 15/05/2015,

I appealed through solicitor in June 2015 and we got hearing date on 28/01/2016.Now waiting for my PR (EEA4) Appeal decision.

The main issue in my refusal was the gap including maternity leave, but in appeal hearing the judge and home office did not talk about maternity leave they only discuss a gap we have in 2011 for which we did not sent the invoices and also we mention in our statement that we were on one month holiday during that time.

Everything will clear out once i will receive the decision as either they will allow or if not then on what bases they will refuse which i will inform you about. in the meantime wish me good luck

Hi,
Could anyone who has asked for their documents to be returned help me out here please? I just started to fill in this online form and it asks for the main applicant's (that's me as the EU national) case ID, HO reference number and payment reference number. I don't have any of these. My husband (non EU national) has received a case ID because he was sent the biometrics letter as well as the COA. Am I supposed to leave it all blank?
Thanks

They only can access and provide 5 yrs history (2010/11 till date), which is still okay for my application anyways.. Very helpful hmrc staff, and says we shld receive it by nxt week, within 5 working days.

Thanks for your advice and insight, will keep the forum updated.

Hi Akz,

Thanks for the reply. You have definitely put my mind @ rest as I was worried they might refuse my RC application after the PR was refused.

I sent my RC application last week as well as my appeal and HO has already charged my account for my RC application. I can see yours took 5 months so i will be using that as a guideline.

Nice to hear HO didn't mention about the your spouse 18 month Maternity period @ your hearing as that was the only time my spouse was also out of work.

Wow, it took 6 months for the hearing to take place? That is a long time to wait :shock:

I hope you get a positive answer regarding your PR.

Thanks for the info and I hope to rejoice with you soon.
