But only if the OP is married. That is the only way that it's guaranteed, but it can be granted even if they aren't married. I was given permission to work on my COA as the unmarried partner of an EEA national. Unmarried partners can derive EEA rights only after they have been approved by the UKBA,...

Ben wrote:Hi folks,

Quick question - how long as CoAs* taking to arrive lately?

*CoA as in certificate of application of a residence card of a family member of a Union citizen.

Four to five weeks on Average, or say with in 5 weeks. Usually the date of issue is two weeks before you recieve.

There is no sense in being nervous depending on imformation given over the board. Remember each application is determined on its individual merit. Besides, there are many applicants out there who do not post there applications results on this board. What am trying to say is that, the way the OP is d...

Have'nt you not read about the six month rule????????

2. The birthcertificate of my mum and and my cousin's dad was not included, but my cousin's birth certificate and my birthcerticate is included and it shows the link of our relationship as family, because my cousins dad's name was included in her bithcert and my own mum's maiden name too was includ...

The wording in refusal says that I must show financial rather than merely emotional or other dependency on the EEA National The issue of Ofms is a big problem for Ukb, as one has to fall in both membership of household as well as being a dependant. Ukb seems not to take on people who fall in just o...

Hello Everyone, I must say big well done to UKBA for quick response to applications lately, compare to all other stories that I have read on the forum. I urgently need your help, I sent my eea2 application for a residence card in December under extended family member who is my cousin and lived toge...

i also would like to add,that the time frame of receiving rc or other documents wouldnt help. better keep this thread for pepole applying having questions about the procedures specials cases etc thank you From the begining, this thread has been for desparet and anxious guys, success can as well be ...

Guys, can we keep this thread just for the EEA2 timelines? otherwise it defeats the purpose. With questions on eligibility it would be better to post in separate threads. Timeline of another client EEA3&EEA2 Joint Applied on 7 December 2010 Acknowledgement in a month in January 2011 Decision made o...

hi i see a solicitor today, he told me my chances r 98%, boz i have a geniun relationship as i have 2 kids with her(partner) and she's is due for the 3th one in april. so he said the H.O lawyer will try to ask some questions about the ways we meet, live together and we had a weeding party in 2007, ...

Thanks everyone, i just have a big issue here: Obie said: 3. Article 5 (4) does not mean your spouse is entitled to travel without a visa. But the fact that we travel at the end, isn't proof enough? As i mentioned before we travel to Italy a month before with British Airways, and didn't have any is...

" Quietly updated" Directive thats intresting!

Find time go through those forms again, you might discover that they eliminated a fullstop or even a comer somewhere, if not just one word!

that shouldn't be a problem, i just came back while my wife was in hungary, they asked me where is my wife and whats her birthday i told him that she is at work and thats her DOB, thats it no stamp and nothing.. easy pizzy.. Sure if your residency Docs were issued by the UK, and you are returning t...

abraCadabra, as regards the UKBA you provide a link to, I am appalled that they ask for so much information. As regards Bank Statements, which is what you are asking about, I think just supply the bank statements that show receipt of his employment income, that is, that confirm that he is indeed in...

Yes - but only a partial victory. I will monitor the quality of guidance updates on the UKBA website and operations at the borders over the next 12 months before sealing the file on this one. I also intend to respond to the UKBA highlighting the fact that even when border officers have had the oppo...

Joy will come after this dark time. Thanks for the reply. I will ask the new lawyer to assist us in preparing an affidavit. We should of not used a lawyer in the first place as it looked straight forward n the money could of been used now. anyways the past......... my letter said: You hv applied 4 ...

Don't forget to include a copy of the stamp(s) and your residence card as evidence. EDIT: Do your stamps have a number in the second row (between 'IMMIGRATION OFFICER' and the date)? But IO has already destroyed crucial evidence, by refusing him to fill in the landing card. They would have traced t...

Obie to be honest, in the OP's post i wasn't interested in the marriage coir's part of it,i might have skipped it. Sure it might raise suspicions as to why the applicants are not revealing the actual category under which they are exercising their treaty Rights. About UKBA scrutinizing everything, i ...

Treaty right has to be genuine. The UKBA knows her treaty right's position , if she is working or self-employed. They will not help by telling you not to provide this. They will say the onus is on you to provide this information. Simply providing a Sickness insurance for someone who is not aware of...

Ain't intimidated by some people's jargon's over the board,no! not after metock.

Much as metock was not about Ofms, it does give some light on the whole issue. Immigration lawyers are still arguing the issue of ukb not considering Ofms and lets optimistic in that case.

really , o.k, but i don't think ur advice is true , cos i consult with lawyers and home office websites. thanks for ur wrong adice anyway Tracy56 my advise to you is that you should study the directive as much as you can. Don't just read it, study it , put together all the proof you have before you...

thanks OBIE for your advice , i wonder y others have been harsh and giving me wrong informations, The reason is, much as I respect Obie's opinions, he has a more rose-tinted outlook, whereas us seasoned posters mostly are more cynical and jaded and align with the ECO tenet - 'on the balance of prob...
