I didn't submit my original EEA RC when I applied/posted for the PR at 21/01/15. It's not required, is it?

I am a 5 years Residence Card holder as married to an EEA citizen residing in the UK. I lost my RC while traveling abroad last February.

Thank you for the reply! I'm afraid, but my friend is not willing to disclose what exactly 2 countries nationalities she has got. What I can only say here is she was born in a non EEA country, growing up there, but has got an EEA nationality because of one of her parents. Why her spouse is applying ...

Hello everyone. I need advices & opinions about 2 things for my friend's case... 1. A friend of mine has been living in the UK, holding ILR. Her spouse(married) is currently in his country(non EEA), and nearly ready to apply to join family living in the UK permanently(vaf 4). Actually, my friend(ILR ...

I'm personally quite interested in this topic as a non EEA citizen taking the EEA route.

I wasn't invited for an interview applying and receiving EEA2 in 2010.
I guess this interview is more common recent years, but I don't believe it's just on random basis...

Hello, everyone. The outcome of this topic... I had no problem at all to be back to the UK :D But, I wonder one thing. Is it actually enough to carry and show a copy of the original RC to UKBA?? I took a flight from abroad to the UK. Since I'm non-visa national, I just showed my passport, got a ...

Hi, everyone. Here is the outcome of this topic... I didn't have any problems to start working although I considered my visa matter such seriously, but it is just because it's a casual job. The employer's side wasn't even aware if my resident card was a photo copy or not :roll: I submitted my ...

chaoclive, runie80, thank you very much for your advices! I will do everything I can do my best, printing out the webpages that your guys have shown in your posts. I will definitely post the outcome here. To be honest, the position I have got an offer is a casual one, part-time, working just twice a ...

chaoclive; Thanx for your reply! I'm going to abroad next week, and actually next month as well. So, I need to keep my passport with me. Another thing is that I am eligible to apply for the PR this December, and if I applied for another EEA2 now and UKBA kept my passport for 6 month, it would be ...

Thanks for reading my post and quick replies! runie80; I've kept only a photo copy of my original residence card that is a free standing document, written as "Immigration Status Document". Thinking about any documents confirming my resident status, a letter may have been enclosed when I received the ...

Hello, everyone. I have fell into a situation that I need to seek advices here again... I lost my 5years resident card(EEA2) in February while traveling abroad. I have recently got a job offer that I am supposed to start this Friday, and I need to show my right to work in the UK. I haven't applied ...

I am sorry for very late reply. Thanks Jambo, I'm going for the option 2, traveling without the resident card. I got married to my EEA husband in July 2009, but joined him in the UK in December 2009, so the count for PR stared at that time. I'm eligible to apply for PR this December, and thinking ...

Hello, everyone. It's the first time to post in this category of thread.(I'm usually on EEA route threads) A friend of mine has got ILR.

Thank you for your reply, plum70! I'm still not sure if I am re-applying for the RC, because it would be difficult to get my passport back by my travel in April, although I have started to arrange to obtain the marriage certificate for that. It takes sometime, because I need to get the registration ...
