Document return - Missing documents

Hello, My wife and I recently received all of paperwork back that we submitted for our successful EEA RC application. However, they did not return one of my P60s that I submitted. Does anyone have any advice at how we can attempt to retrieve this document? An email address or phone number to call? I...

Cancelling Tier 2 Visa

Hello, I've recently switched to the EEA route, and my wife (Tier 2) and I (Tier 2 dependent) would now like to cancel our visas. My wife is moving on from the school that has been sponsoring her, so they will be cancelling their sponsorship as well. I was curious to know if anyone has advice at how...

EEA QP Refusal?

Hello all, I was curious to know if anyone has any insight into EEA QP refusals. I've done a search on the forums, but it seems that they are pretty rare. Is there a specific reason for this? I am a bit concerned about my EEA QP application, as I submitted electronic wage slips, as well as a P60 whe...

Re: Complication - Exercising treaty rights duration

Errr, continuous means continuous. No gaps. Can you claim that you were job seeking for the period of July to September 2013? Any job applications, emails of interviews lined up, etc? Yeah, I have a vague sense of what continuous means, just wanted to double check on the details. Hopefully it's suf...

Re: Complication - Exercising treaty rights duration

Thanks again. The economic activity that I did do was genuine and effective, as far as I know. 18-20hrs per week. So, if there is a gap, can the clock stop and then pick up again at a later date, still counting towards the 5 continuous years and retaining the previous accruement? Or does the continu...

However my main concern is the period from July to September 2013, where I was focused on school work. ...

Complication - Exercising treaty rights duration

Hello all, I have a bit of a complex situation that I was hoping to get some help with. Here's a quick timeline for context: 2012 - 2013 I arrived in the UK with my long time girlfriend on a Tier 4 visa, as I was doing a 1 year Master's program. I entered as an American and paid the overseas tuition...

Re: Vienna convention won't apply in case of Brexit

Am I wrong to think that without a withdrawal agreement, then EU laws apply until there is such an agreement, or until the UK formally leaves the EU? As per: ‘the Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, tw...

Thank you for the replies. I applied in February; my wife received her COA last month. When we applied, I only sent in my payslips from the last two years, as well as a P60 for 2015, as I haven't yet received my P60 for this past year. However, my main concern is that I receive payslips electronical...

Sending in extra evidence for EEA application

Hello, My application is currently being considered. I have since procured some extra evidence for my application, namely my bank statements which I didn't include initially. Is it ok to send these to the HO with my case number, or will it confuse matters. Also, if I were to send these docs, do I se...

RichardW, Just out of curiosity, what did you mean with your statement: 'While this will make the EEA route more difficult for those using real jobs, it will preserve free movement within the EEA.' Who are 'those using real jobs?' Also, what are your thoughts about how this new proposal, should it c...

No one knows for sure. However, in the past, especially with other immigration rules in the UK, the date of application is the date in which respective immigration rules apply. Meaning, applications are considered under the rules that are in force at the date of application. But remember that EEA R...
