@dalebutt,

I cannot express enough how much I appreciated your help.
I will follow your suggestions and send a reconsideration request to the caseworker (I need to find out where does it show in the refusal letter though), as well file an appeal online.

I will update the progress here.

Thank You.

@dalebutt, THANK YOU SO MUCH! We're in Devon county. How should I proceed for a reconsideration request? Within only 10 days (well literally 9 days) left I must submit a cour appeal don't I? Please could you explain a little more what steps I should take and not losing my rights if HO refuses my ...

Let me get this right, has your spouse exercised treaty rights for 5 years before she stopped work? 2008 - 2013? Yes absolutely, we showed proof that she has been working during Mar 2008 - May 2013, which is longer than 5 years already. HO's refusal solely based on the ground we have no evidence to ...

@dalebutt, thank you so much for your advice. The appeal form is rather complicated, and it has to be made within 10 days, I doubt I can obtain any proof on time. So, just want to clarify, even she has exercised treaty for 5 years (working from Mar 2008 - May 2013), if she hasn't since exercising ...

I asked you some questions in my first reply, please provide answers to those. She was in maternity leave during Jul 2012 - May 2013. She also quit the work in May 2013. She has depression due to giving birth to baby and felt isolated. A doctor refers her to consult GP. GP confirms her depression ...

sorry @dalebutt, i got mixed up.

We both came to UK in Mar 2008.
And we did show we have 5 years continuous legal residence in UK, during Mar 2008 - May 2013.

HO questioned we have no evidence to prove she exercise treaty during May 2013 - present (which unfortunately she hasn't been working)

thanks everyone for the replies. @dalebutt, do you mean i have to show my wife has exercised treaty even after residing in uk for more than 5 years? The maternity leave was ended in May 2013 when my wife also quit. And yes, she was depressed after giving birth to the baby. @malik261, my wife and I ...

Anyone? I have read other posts relating to what "continuous 5 years" is defined. If ANY 5 continuous years is enough to prove eea natinoal has exercised EU treaty, does that mean eea national AUTOMATICALLY acquired PR status even without a confirmation/visa from Home Office? I'm still puzzled what ...

Hi everyone, This is my first time to post here and thanks for reading my case. I have applied for eea4 and got refused yesterday. Here is the timeline of my journey: I am non-eea national and my wife is an eea national (Irish), we married in 2007. Mar 2008 - we resided in UK, my wife has got a job ...
