I sent the application EEA4 at 21/01 by recorded delivery, received by HO on the following day. I received my passport returned for a travel on the Easter time in March. I'm not sure if the process for my application has been diverted because of that, but have been waiting over 4 months. I got my pa...

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? Well, anyways I didn't send it, because I'd lost my original RC (free standing document) last February :!: Since I lost it, I have traveled abroad 4times, carrying a copy of my original RC, mar...

Hello. I will just tell you my experiences. I'm a no-visa national to the UK. I have requested my passport return twice to UKBA. 1st time It may be not up-to-date information, as this story is from 2010. I applied for the RC in the middle of February in 2010, and requested my passport back in March/...

(still the previous EEA 4 form at that time) I've received...

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. I explained to a boarder officer in the UK that I had lost my RC while traveling, but I was allowed to pass the boarder quite easily, probably because I was with m...

Thank you!

Hello, everyone. I have been living in the UK since December 2009 as a direct family member of an EEA citizen, and I am eligible to apply for PR this December. My husband has already got PR(EEA3). My EEA husband was arrested due to civil offense a couple of days ago. He was kept in a custody for 14h...

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 stam...

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 origin...

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 Oct...

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 f...

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 ab...

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. She traveled to a non-EEA country, and she was required to record her finder print at one of the UK airports when she got back here last week. She says it had neve...

Hi, everyone. I'd like to ask you what you would do if you were in this situation.... I lost my 5years resident card(EEA 2 married one: free standing document) that was issued in July 2010 while traveling abroad in this February(last month). I had no problem to get back to the UK, because my husband...

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 ...

Hello, everyone. I may apply for the 5years resident card again, because I have lost it. (It's in this topic http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/lost-eea-residence-card-t158219.html ) Filling in the form EEA2 again, I'm not sure about the section 6 "YOUR EEA NATIONAL FAMILY MEMBE...

Ok, I'm in London now. I had no problem to get on the flight from Moscow to London. I and my husband were in a queue for the EEA passports,and l reported to; an immigration officer that I had lost my resident card as a family member of an EEA citizen. The officer retained our passports, giving me a ...

Thanx for reply! By the way, I may have a copy of my resident card at home, but can't I use it as any proves? Well, less likely.... My resident card was issued in July 2010 and is going to be expired in 2015. I am eligible to apply for the permanent one this December, because I will have complete to...
