Hello everyone. I am a no-visa national living in the UK with 5years residence card. I'm currently in Russia with my EEA husband waiting for a flight back to the UK, and have realised I've lost my resident card :cry: Since my husband is with me now, it shouldn't be a problem this time, but what proc...
Hi, everybody. I have just received my husband's documents back with the Residence Documentation Certifying Permanent Residence(EEA 3) from UKBA :D Actually, it took just for a month. I and my husband were a bit anxious because of his working history over 5 years, but expected we could hear good new...
Thank you for your reply, sheraz7. Surely, I am not willing that my husband's application would drop into a case of "reconsideration", but if so, he can just insist on his exercising treaty rights as self-employed by the time the WRS was closed. Anyway, I really appreciate all posts here, and I will...
Thank you for your reply! askmeplz82 said : Well one can be self employed + employed Jambo said : It would have been better if he would have left out the employment evidence. I suspect it will back fire as he was required to register under WRS for employment. The exemption only applies to his self e...
Hi, everyone. My husband applied for the document certifing permanent residence by the form EEA3 around the end of September(last month), and I am worried if UKBA could refuse his application, because it seems his case is not straight forward :( He is an EEA national from one of the A8 countries. Ex...
askmeplz82 said; but if you been exercising treaty right is various ways (switching jobs, employed/self-employed, job seeker ) then the case is complicated Uhh, this is exactly my husband's case :( He is an EEA citizen from one of the A8 countries, exercising the treaty rights as self-employed and ...
This is quite a similar case with mine. I'm a non-EEA national having the resident card as a family member of an EEA citizen living in the UK since February 2008. I visited to the UK and I met my husband on the 1st of December in 2008. I traveled back to the UK to see him around the Christmas time t...
When I was looking for a job with EEA FP, it was required to indicate what my residential status was on most job applications. Then, I needed to write what type of visa I had, and when It would be expired, as I'm not an EEA citizen. Certainly EEA FP holders have a right to work, but employers may he...
This topic just reminds me how it was difficult to find a job when I moved back to the UK with EEA FP(for 6 months) in 2009. I was struggling just to reach an job interview. Eventually, I found a job, but it was just a part-time :( As somebody said in this topic, if any other job applicants have got...
We had a chat with the officer last time, and he said we can go to the EU line if we are together as a family. If the non-EU member arrives alone, he/she may have to through the non-EU line, although he admitted that the rules are a bit complicated. He sounded like someone who has done this job for...
I found this topic last night, and I've started being aware of a case of my husband who's an EEA national going to apply for the permanent residence document by EEA3 next year. At first, I'm surprised self-employed applicants tend to have a difficulty to apply for a residence document, although I've...

I think it's a good idea to submit a letter, describing about your relationship,circunstances with your husband,since the beginning to now. Especially, why you couldn't meet each other for a while as detailed as poss...
It's been a while everyone,and I'm sorry I haven't updated to tell what happened in my case eventualy. >>brendonuc The UKBA had never asked me to send my passport back to them after all, and they just issued a freestanding "immigration status document" to me in July last year, but I eventually recei...
My husband is from an A8 county as well, but he's self-employed and has never registerd under the WRS. We applied for my EEA2 and his EEA1 proving that he was self-employed, as a joint application in February this year. He submitted the bills to pay for the National Inssurance contribution issued by...
Quote: The format of the residence card is not fixed, so Member States are free to lay it down as they see fit. However, the residence card must be issued as a self-standing document and not in form of a sticker in a passport , as this could limit the validity of the card in violation of Article 11...
First of all, I would like to thank this forum as it's really wise and helpful. And finally I received a resident card valid for 5 years 3days ago :D But, my RC isn't sticked in my passport but it's on a paperised document, because the UKBA had never asked me to send my passport back to them after I...

It's been a while,everyone... My husband eventually applied for the WRS about the middle of June, otherwise he could have been fired from his work, remaining his EEA1 application ongoing. He was forced to register under the WRS althoufh he applied for a Registration certificate together with my EEA2...
I've received probably the same COA that nothing is menthioned about to the right to work while waiting for a resident card. I posted about the same question as you here before, and what I've heard is that the COA not mentioning about the rights to work while waiting is for the applicants who're the...
my husbands EEA FP expires on 22.10.2010. I still do not have a job yet, so I suppose, if even I get one maybe by july or august/the latest/still my WRS woudl finish July 2011. But meanwhile my husbands FP would already expire in october, so I guess it is better to apply for his FMRS.. Yes,then he ...
Thank Directive/2004/38/EC again! I called the UKBA and found that working the self-employed basis isn't counted as a part of 'working legally in the UK for 12 months without a break', but it's no problem to keep the status as self-employed while being employed as well. So, actually my husband could...
>>Directive/2004/38/EC Thank you for the precious information! I've found why the new company forces my husband to register under the WRS, after reading the 22nd page in the guidance below. If you continue to employ a nonexempt unregistered national from one of the A8 countries for more than one mon...
>>Directive/2004/38/EC Thank you for the advice! Surely,my husband is willing to renew his passport as soon as possible, but he doensn't have to do it for now because he can travel with his ID card in Europe, as he's an EEA citizen. Another point is that our EEA1+2 joint application has already been...
