Is it true that the UKBA has a legal requirement to send CoA for EEA2, but not for EEA4? I read this on a forum somewhere, but was not able to locate this in a document so far. If anyone knows where this is stated, I'd be keen to get the link. Compare Regulation 17 (issue of RC) in particular 17 (3...

Re: EEA RESIDENCE CARD AND BENEFITS

hI Is it possible to claim housing benefits while applying for residency? My husband is working but the benefit calculator says we are entitled to tax credits and housing benefits. Will this put in risk the residency? Which EEA treaty right status covers you at the moment? Unless there is something...

Re: CAO

Does anybody receive COA who applied in July? I applied in the 1st week of July and no COA yet, so be assured you're not alone - I'd be prepared to bet there aren't too many people who applied in July and have their COA yet. Of course it does take longer these days for them to send the COA because ...

Do you mean it's 10 months since the PR was received or 10 months since you applied for it? Point is that EEA4 is recognition of 5 years of treaty rights, so you if you are successful with EEA4, your year of PR starts from when you claimed you reached your 5 years, not from when you actually receive...

londoner, have you rung the European Applications contact number and explained your situation? They may well be able to counsel you about what your chances are of your wife's self-employed status being accepted. Obie is right that there is a chance it could go your way, but I suspect it will hinge o...

Yeah, inline with the above my advice is don't put yourself through EEA4 because you'll get refused based on the information you've given us so far, but you should be fine for EEA2 as long as you arrange CSI before you apply and send the insurance policy with your application. Going forward if you w...

Does your spouse have an EU ID card additionally to her passport? If so, you could consider applying for EEA2. She would have to hand in her passport but could still travel home on her EU ID card. For you, though, I guess you'd have to wait for the application to be processed before travelling to vi...

Congratulations all for theirs RC. I hit the 5 month mark today. Haven't called or emailed the HO. Do you guys think I should? I suggest not to call until you hit 6 months - unless you have a particular urgent reason for needing your passport back earlier than that. After 6 months it's fair game. Y...

There seem to be two different fax numbers in this thread:

and

0151 213 29 09

Can anyone confirm which is correct?

Thanks Vinny! Actually this ruling raises a point that really concerns me. If we try to claim that my wife was 'economically self-sufficient' at the time, they could argue that she wasn't because she was relying on my income during the period that she wasn't working, and this ruling seems to say tha...

EEA4: Jobseeker or self-sufficient?

Hi all! Grateful already for the information out there on this site. I am looking forward towards an EEA4 application. It's still a couple of years away, but I want to make sure we've covered ourselves. My wife (the EU citizen) has been employed from Feb 2006 to late March 2007 and then June 2007 th...
