The HO are even dragging their feet in reissuing a CoA they made a mistake with. My COA had expired and in November they sent one with the DRF 1. Only it was issued in my daughter's name. Up till now they still have not issued a new one, now I have a job offer with no CoA and no Derivative Residence card yet

What should we do about this situation? My COA expired in Nov and I have not received a replacement nor residence card. How HO expect me to continue working without one,onle they know. I've not done anything since then and always hope they will soon issue residence card. Oh how wrong I was.

GLH 2012,
Did you write to them? If yes, to what address? My solicitor wrote to Paula Rudd who issues replacement COA as per FOI request a month before my COA expired but we have heard nothing. This is really frustrating.

Mine expired in December and my solicitor wrote many letters reminding them to send a new one, to no effect.

I called the Zambrano Team, I was lucky enough to speak with a nice gentleman who was quite sympathetic and promised to send a new one to my home address, and he did as promised.

You may have to call them, just keep calling them. Though the call goes to voicemail most of the team, just keep calling until somebody picks up the bloody phone: 0151 213 4132.

First, they would ask you how did you get this number, because they never expected anyone to have access to it. Most of them are very rude and they will tell you not to call them. But keep calling them every day, one day you might be lucky to speak with someone who has a human heart.

Hi mam2, my solicitor wrote to them several times but am not sure the address she used. She's called them a couple of times in my presence but they were reluctant to help, still insisting for us to write. I called them yesterday and the lady I spoke to said I should use the address on the COA.
Thanks Prince74 for the phone number. Will also keep you posted.

But why are they sending a new COA, when they should be issuing a residence card. Its totally unfair and unacceptable.

I agree with you ,its totally unfair cos i have been to every where with it to look for job but no employer has accepted it so far.i pray they issue Rc to us fast cos its just so fustrating.

mam2 · Post by **mam2** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 12:00 pm

I called them this morning but they were of no help. The lady I spoke to said I should write to an address I already know and continue to wait as we have been advices to. I be just written same letter to 4 different addresses hoping one of them will at least answer/reply. That's how bad its gotten to.

Sorry for mistakes, I meant.....been adviced to. And I've just......

Hello people I am just wondering if I have got any legal standing taking home office to court over the delay of Zambrano or i don't mind going public but i don't know what platform to use or where to go and also i would urge people to come together and do something under the same banner as this can help our case a great deal we can't just be quiet cos zambrano has been implemented since November and people still to have to wait endlessly, all the job i found they don't want to employ me with COA so am fed up with this!!!!!!
any advise about this will be appreciated. Thanks

The UKBA is plainly playing games with us. Can you imagine each time I call them, they would give me a number to call and when I call that number, they people I spoke to will give me a different number. It is like going from pillar to post.

Just this morning I called a number I had been given to call as they are the team dealing with Zambrano applications. When I called that number, I was told to call the public enquiry number which I know if I call it, they will simply tell me their usual mantra "case still under consideration, UKBA will contact you".

It's so frustrating.

This is why i think mobilizing and making a statement is going to push things in our favour but i just can't get my head around where to go cos i have called them so many times within the last 3 weeks and also sent like 3 letters and no repaly all they keep saying is you have to keep waiting endlessly men!! am loosing my mind, people can't just keep sitting down hoping this will be sorted out soon, you will find out the year will run out without them doing nothing

Yes you can, where was your daughter born? is one of the parent Irish? daughter may be British citizen if born by an Irish citizen in the UK

I recently attended a seminar on access to social benefit by zambrano beneficiaries and its appears while you may be waiting to get the new regulation overturn in a court of law, the best course of action is for all persons to apply for any benefit, get refused then appeal . What happens is when the reg is finally overturn you get your benefit paid back dated

If I may ask,why is your wife banned from re entry to UK for 10 yrs? And why did she go with your daughter? How old is your daughter?

I do not think there is provision in place to issue entry clearance under Zambrano, even if there was one, the Deportation order will be a bar as it is not a freedom of movement application the DO will always be be considered.

As your child is Irish your wife could apply to the Irish embassy for entry clearance based on zambrano, the reason for deportation will be taken into account again. That way you are at least a step closer

If you choose to apply for Ireland you should start now and not waste further time.

She overstayed her visa when she visited UK. My daughter is
10 years old.

I already applied visa for Ireland and it was refused.

What was the basis for refusal? what type of visa did she apply for?
