diane - where have you seen such a trend? My understanding is that a COA should be issued once an application is received and a cursory check of documents is performed. The right to work will depend on the category under which the RC was applied (e.g. married or unmarried partner, or primary carer for a child).diane wrote:I see a trend that most cases if you have CoA with rights to work, you stand a better chance...Good luck guys
I understand you applied as an unmarried partner, but your COA did give you the right to work - as far as I can see from everything the UKBA have published, this is certainly an exception (posisbly an error) rather than the rule.
I have also applied as an unmarried partner, and my COA states the following:
The UKBA will not issue a COA with a right to work if:
a) The applicant is seeking to remain in order to provide day-to-day care for an EU citizen child who is exercising European free movement rights in the United Kingdom as a self-sufficient person. In these circumstances any right to work will depend on your having some alternative basis of stay in the United Kingdom which does not prohibit access to employment or self-employment. Permission to remain may be given on the basis of your caring responsibilities but will not include any entitlement to work or to access public funds.
b) The applicant is the unmarried partner or an extended family member (for example, the brother or sister) of an EU citizen who is exercising European free movement rights in the United Kingdom. In these circumstances there is no automatic right or entitlement to live in the United Kingdom with the EU citizen sponsor. The Home Secretary must consider whether, in all the circumstances of the case, it would be right to issue a Residence Card on this basis. This means that until we have determined that you qualify as an unmarried partner or as an extended family member by issuing a Residence Document, you are not able to work on the basis of your relationship to your EU citizen sponsor. Any right to work in the meanwhile will depend on your having some alternative basis of stay in the United Kingdom which does not prohibit access to employment or self-employment.
c) The applicant has not provided satisfactory evidence of his or her identity or of his or her relationship to an EU citizen. We will consider your application but may need to contact you for some additional or alternative evidence. Until work on your application has been completed we will not be able to provide confirmation of your current status. Any right to work in the meanwhile will depend on your having some alternative basis of stay in the United Kingdom which does not prohibit access to employment or self-employment.
plz guys prayer for me.
