Hello, Directive/2004/38/EC.

No,he hasn't received anything,but only I've got the COA as I'm a non EEA citizen.

Actually I called the UKBA this morning, and found that the COA was only for non EEA nationals, so it's only for EEA2&4 applicants.
No confirmation nor proof for EEA1&3 applicants

Good morning, everyone. I called the UKBA this morning and asked when they'd request me to return my passport to them,but an advisor answered that I'd just need to wait for their request, same as I called them in April :( About any confirmation for EEA1 applicants, the advisor described that the COA...

A new problem has come up... I(non-eea married to my husband who's an A8 citizen) and my husband sent a EEA1&2 joint application form this February,and I received the COA on the 1st of March. Recently my husband started working in a new company, and they require him to register to the WRS,although h...

>>AnnaS Thank you for the reply! As far as the COA, it sounds like a typical mistake, (and not the worst they make too) I know other people who had this. :roll: :shock: The COA is really important to prove the eligibility to work/live here and secure the status for us(applicants for the EEA2).....

Hello everyone. I'm happy to read this thread,as it's more active and constantly up-to date information about the EEA2 related topics, comparing to other individual threads.So, I'd like to hear your opinions,suggestions and advices. I've read that a topic about wordings in the COA was discussed some...

Hi there...congratulations to you jumpingzobie, that you fingd a job...lets see what is in our luck...anyhow finally my husband get his first job interview, lets see how it goes. I hope your husband will find a job soon. I really understand the difficulties to look for a job for the EEA permit hold...

Thank you for answering and talking about this topic! It's been in June already,but I haven't heard from the UKBA, so my passport has still been in my hand with an expired EEA FP. But, as mrlookforward said above,the UKBA isn't in a hurry to get my passport back while my application is in a queue, t...

Hello. I'm a non EEA citizen and my husband is an EEA national. I applied for a resident card by the EEA2 form in February this year, and have been waiting for it since then. My EEA FP expired on the 17th of May,but I had a job interview this Tuesday and got through it. Now I'm required to show a co...

Thanx, troubled!

So, the HO isn't likely to ask us to send my husband's ID nor renew his passport, as it wasn't expired when we submitted our documents...

A bothering related with visa matters has just been removed in my mind

Hello everyone. I'd like to have your advices here again... I'm a non EEA citizen married with an EEA citizen. I applied for the resident card by EEA2 this february, and I've been waiting for it since then.While waiting,my EEA FP has already been expired. I attached the documents of my husband for m...

Thank you for telling me your experience! We applied 7th Nov 09 - with a request for our passports to be returned, for a trip - pre paid special del encl - but not used - passports came back 2nd class recorded -within three weeks with the COA My passport was sent in a 2nd class recorded envelope as ...

Hello,everyone. Another problem has come up, and I'd like to have some helps... I originaly applied for a resident card as a joint application that my EEA2 and my husbands' EEA1 were enclosed on the 17th of Feb 2010, but I received my passport back on the 21st March, for an emergency trip between 31...

I guess the first thing to do after arriving to the UK, is register at the closest Jobcenter. Is that correct? You can look for jobs without NIN, or while you apply and wait for it as well. can HE get a NIN, if he is on family permit? Yes,he can. I'm an EEA FP holder and I've got a NIN. When I call...

I'll try to answer based on my experiences... 1.As an EEA FP holder, your husband certainly has a right to work in the UK.But the thing is, some employers aren't willing to employ people having visa that's going to be expired only 6months later... 2.Your husband needs to apply for the family member ...

I'm an EEA FP holder, and it's free of charge when an applicant takes the EEA route. It took about 10 working days to receive the EEA FP,and I've applied for a resident card that's supposed to be valid for 5years. EEA FP is valid just for 6months,and I hope I'll get my resident card asap, as I feel ...

I called and asked the UKBA, and they said it would be legal to stay in the UK while waiting for my resident card even after my EEA FP is expired,as I knew. But, they couln't answer if I'd be eligible to work after the expiry date,and suggested me to call another department 0300 123 46 99 begin_of_t...

that is the COA being sent out to unmarried partners of EEA citizens or extended family members of EEA citizens

Is it?
Is the COA writings same for any EEA FP holders(married/unmarried spouse and extended family),or it's actually different but I've received a wrong one??

Thank everybody who's written in this topic! I'm a EEA FP holder as a wife of a Polish citizen living and working in the UK about 2 years, so do I have a right to work while my EEA2 application is under consideration, even if my current visa is expired in May? If so, where is it stated in? (EU law o...

Unfortunately,it's not informed in the COA.

It's adviced not to make any non urgent travel plans,and not to call nor make written enquiries about the progress of the application to UKBA.

So, I'm not sure if i can keep my current job after my EEA FP is expred, as a prospective resident card holder.

Hello everyone. I'd like to have some advices in this forum as it helped me a lot before. I've been on my EEA FP since last December, and it's going to be expired next month. I applied for the resident card in the middle of February,and received the COA after 10 days since I sent my EEA2 application...

Thank you so much for helpful advices! He didn't work out for the tax return by himself, and he used an accountant instead. I've checked the documents he received from the accountant, and no exact 'name of business' is mentioned :roll: 'Description of the business' is shown, but it's not his name of...

When the existence of the business was registered with HMRC the form for that has a field "Name of Business". What was entered there? That's what he doesn't remember :( He says it could be his nick name or his ex-girlfriend's name,but he doesn't remember what he wrote as his name of business. In th...

Yes, definitely he named 'something' to his business when he registered as self employed, because he had to, obviously.But the problem here is that he doesnt remember the name, so he cant write it on his EEA1 and my EEA2 form. As I wrote above, his accountant has acted without his business name, so ...

He has issued invoices. Maybe just a quick look at those invoices would tell him the name of his business! Thanks for the quick response! He writes just his name,date and the amount of wages when he issues invoices, so its not the name of his business.... But, how could UKBA find if his name of bus...

Why doesn't he ask his Accountant?

His accountant has acted for him without the name of his business, and it seems its obviously not important to estimate his tax.What are more important is how much he has earned or spend expenses. So, she doesn't know his name of business either.
