Thank you Noajthan.... You have been very supportive throughout this time. Richard W is also a great contributor. I will post again as soon as I know something. Hopefully this will help others in this forum before the official day of the Doom approaches. Benito11 Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't writ...
Ladies and gentlemen, I haven't written for some time as there was not much to share. Today, however, I have received my CoA ( with right to work) . I am still in legal battle with my ex- employer who is convinced that I was not eligible to work in the UK because of " lack" of documentation I.e CoA....
Hi... Just received my CoA . It took almost 2.5 months but at least things are moving forward . Here is my updated timeline: Application posted: 22/06/16 Application received at Durham: 23/06/16 Payment taken:30/06/16 Biometric letter received: 23/08/16 Biometric done and sent: 23/08/16 COA letter r...
Good morning, As you know I had a meeting with a solicitor. The key issue is that a PRC was not mandatory and an expired RC doesn't make me an illegal !! Therefore my dismissal looks like unfair at the moment. I am adamant that as a spouse of an EEA national I have rights to reside and work legally ...
@richard Good morning. You hit the nail on the head. This is my biggest concern, really. I hope that in the end I won't end up looking like a complete idiot . The solicitor ( will meet him today) was very positive about this. The first thing he asked was : " where is your spouse from and is/was she ...
@ wise Thank you for your kind words. When you said " you employer was trying to cover their back" do you mean they did the right thing at the time I.e dissmis me? Do you think that my employment contract was illegal due to an expired RC? I am taking it easy at the moment :lol: viva la Netflix but I...
@ Noajthan Thank you. I have to admit that I have overlooked this very important point. Thanks for pointing that out. The ESC checks were done before biometric enrolment I.e wrong time and as a result wrong information received . can I be held responsible for not telling the HR when to correctly per...
@akhr Thanks for posting your timeline. I know that they DO issue CoA's ( at least I do now) however I kept being told different things. Every caseworker/ call centre worker from HO gives different and sometimes conflicting information. Initially, this was the main reason ( whether they do or don't ...
@ Richard, You went to great lengths there with the previous post. Thanks a lot . I am definitely taking your arguments on board and will present them tomorrow to the solicitor. People like you and @noajthan are a reason why so many of us are using forums like this one. To answer the question from y...
@noajthan Thank you for suggesting that. Good points for those that are willing to listen and think rationally, however I am dealing with very arrogant and stubborn bunch of people. This feels like I need to go and explain to them how to do their job properly. It will be different ball game when a s...
@ asp Thanks for the message. The ESC checks were done last week I believe. 5 weeks after the EEA3+EEA4 applications were sent to HO. You said somethings interesting that actually worries me a bit. " the EU laws are not enforceable against my employer ". What about legal action?! The point is, my co...
@noajthan As always thank you for your articulated response and link above. I did my best to explain the things to not only my manager but also HR, Union etc. I accept my error too. I could have applied on " time" for PRC and avoid confusion. But the stamp in my passport doesn't give me rights which...
@ Richard, ' morning, I don't think that they have issues/suspicions with my wife's true nationality. After all they have met her before at our annual staff parties etc for example. She came here in June 2007 with a job offer straight from the Netherlands. Plus, I gave her ( my manager) my partners ...
@blucole, Good morning, I did contract my local MP . She sent me an email yesterday: " Thank you for your email to Mrs Cheryl Gillan MP; I would like to acknowledge receipt of this message and advise that Mrs Gillan will make enquiries on your behalf with her colleauges and will come back to you whe...
@ Richard, Thanks again for being helpful. If you ever decide to visit Amersham ( if you like old people and cows that is :D ) please let me know. Beers are on me :wink: But on serious note, the point that you made regarding family permit and prints that state if someone is family member of an EEA n...
@ Richard Thanks again. I don't know really because my current PR application is not refused( I am not expecting it either) . The only issue is the lack of CoA and biometrics. Therefore I can't simply cancel my EEA4 application. Another point that I really need to know is this: Do you believe that a...
@ Richard, As always thank you for your response. I Lost the job because : " You have explained the grounds for you having a Right to Work is by virtue of you partner being from an EEA country. As I understand it this may allow you to have the Right to Work if you or they acquire the correct documen...
@ technospirit , We have tried to email/ mail everyone and everything. My case is different as I haven't received biometrics therefore no CoA as yet. I have had a response from Croydon .Dear Sir, Thank you for your email correspondence of 2 August. We are unable to assist you with your case specific...
Richard and Noajthan, Can you please elaborate more on this? It is very important point for me ( perhaps other forum members too) . Do you know someone who got sanctions just because his RC ( 5 year resident card ) expired before PR application?! I can't find anything online ...... @ Richard, You ha...
Well chaps, as expected I got dismissed on Monday as I failed to provide CoA or a Home office reference number to my employer. Despite the Marriage certificate, prove that I live together with my EU spouse, our children's UK birth certificates, Post office tracking number of my EEA4 application, ban...
Thank you Richard and everyone again for the valuable inputs. My daughters (7 and 9 years) are going to primary school here in UK though they were born in my wife's country (Lithuania). They were already born at the time I applied the first time for my Residence Card five years back. At that time w...
Hi guys, We applied for mine and spouse's PR 4 months ago. We have not received CoA, biometric or any acknoledgement from the HO. Although they have made a withdrawal for payment of applications. Any ideas on how to contact relevant department and advice on what we can do? This is scary, really. I ...
I am a non EU national and still waiting for biometrics. My EEA4 application was sent last month 22/06/16.
Are you an EU national or non EU?! This does matter as far as I know because EU nationals using EEA3 are not required to provide biometrics.
