Hi Vegeta, I have information from other forum some people waiting COA for around 2 months and after they get their PR in 3-rd or 4-th month. Hope it wouldhelp you, why do you think they should send your COA in any particular time frame? thanks for your reply, i thought the home office is supposed ...

hi guys what is my residency status while waiting for the acknowledgment of my applicaion (Retention of rights as eea citizen)? if there is a problem with the application will they send it back to me asking for more evidence or will they just revoke my residency card in which case i have to leave th...

UPDATE, I have today received a letter dated 25/06/2010 by the UKBA which reads as follows......... Dear....... Thank you for your recent application for issuing of confirmation of Permanent Residence in the United Kingdom as a EEA National/Non -EEA family member.To enable us to complete considerat...

i complained to both bodies and still no answer, i dont understand why would they keep it for so long? if it is not in order shouldnt they just return it to me?

guys, i havent received my COA for over 2 months now, it was submitted to HO and everytime i call they say it is still being checked, is this normal? i have complained to as many organizations as i can but still no answer.?

i applied back in april and they still havent received anything! my application is more complicated (Retention of rights), i am contacting my mp

hi guys, i am at my wits ends here, i applied for retention of rights 8 weeks and i still havent received a COA, everytime i call them they tell me it is in the pre-check process i.e. mail room! what are my options here, can i ask for my documents back and apply using a solicitor or where do i compl...

doesnotcompute, bobobo thanks for the reply, all the best

hi guys

i am applying for the retention of rights, will the HO need all of the payslips month per month or just a couple here and there that cover most of the financial year i.e. 4 payslips a year jan - may- sep-dec.
wouldnt a p60 per year be sufficient?

regards
V

cabarete & bobobo, thank you for the update, will do the same soon.
all the best

I still find it strange that the HO did not contest anything at all. Ah well.... to be honest with you, i think the law will change anyway, it is obviously not realistic from the HO to expect full cooperation from the other party if animosity still exist. i am sure the outcome of your appeal will b...

thank you for the update, are you using a solicitor or going it alone?

i have sent a letter informing them of my situation with proof that i have retained the right of residence, however i did not apply with the EEA2 form. As soon as they reply with their request i will post the info here... thank you cabaret, lets keep this uptodate, there is no clear way to apply fo...

thank boboo, just refresh my mind, was it just a covering letter you sent with all the documents?

just out of curiosity, if you lived here for 10 years (literally), can you go through long residency route instead? i am assume those were continous 10 years living in the UK legally?

Hi V, The thread is quite since few people started taking things personal.Anyway,2 months on and no news yet from UKBA.Good day thanks for the update Nana, i remember you submitted all the doucuments laid out in the regulation, did that include your passport as well? the HO advisers told me i shoul...

thanks thsths, just out of interest, are the HO call center workers OISC registered? i called several times between jan-march, everytime i am given a different answer, however when you do the tally, seems most are advising me to use EEA2 form for retaining my rights even though i already have a vali...

hmmm, this thread had strayed so far away..... would be good if we can get back to the original topic.
please share your experiences and hardships here, if it's personal please use PM.

What are you applying for anyway? If you say EEA2 - you mean you do not have 5 years in the UK? In that case I don't think you have to do anything except tell the UKBA of your divorce. i have all the documents necessary, the reason i said EEA2 (i still have my valid original RP, exp 2011) is becaus...

the scary thing is , you can have all the documents listed and they will still refuse the application, i mean if you read chapter 5 it all looks clean cut, so i dont understand why so many refusals. do you think it is worth using eea2 for retention of rights? i know michelenna has gone that route be...

I was granted my Rention of Right of Residence until 2014. My son wasnt incluided and he is only got a turist visa until 4/2010. Can I claim benefits WTC - CTC for my son? Im self employed and "single" mum? And if they granted me would that make no dificult to get my PR? please please, anyone. tech...

Plum70, good luck with Phil Woolas, hopefully he'll give us some concrete ideas of whats gonna happen for those going through EEA route.
