Vadimvin, I am sorry for missing that your parner is not currently working, now this one i guess might have an effect on your application. So, please consult with someone professional with regards to that. the 6 months assessment period for processing such applications is required to verify most of ...

Hi all, I am sending in my COA tomorrow, and I was wondering if anyone has had experience trying to get their passport back in case of travel. I have to travel for a concert (that I am playing in) at the beginning of October, and so there is a chance that I won't have my passport back in time. I th...

Thanks,
that would be great if it works.

WHAT DOES CASE ID MEANS Have similar question, anyone can respond? By issuong COA with case ID, does this really mean they are not going to request any more documents and allocated to case worker or team or anywhere else? Thanks. Vadimvim, Issue of COA as i understand is the time when all your init...

Okay, so called HO this morning on 0151 672 5626 about my application. It has not been seen by a case worker as yet (5 months after applying) but it has been checked for completeness. They are trying to process them within 6 months but it could take "slightly" longer (couldn't pin down how long "sl...

ALSO,

Does anyone know if paying Voluntary National Insurance Contributions for the past months could be accepted by the Home Office?

These, apparently can be backdated, but when I phoned HMRC the lady on the phone could not answer me.

just a quick note about the grey area. Technically, the whole point of having CIS is not to become an unnecessary burden on the country's social assistance system. So, to refuse the application on the basis of this requirement when in reality (which I believe you never did) the person never even cl...

Hi Everyone, To be honest, it is a bit of relief when you visit this forum and read through different experiences many of us came accross with HO. So well done to everyone who joins, shares and supports with their views. I've noticed that it is possible to get thru to them over the phones! so there'...

[quote="jackEM"]To coconutforme And you have a misunderstanding abt student or self-sufficient.....(Last two yrs out of 4.5) As long as person is paying national insurance, s/he is exercising treaty right, regardless of income, study or self-sufficient... so dont even need to mention those things......

To coconutforme If she has been working for 4.5 years in that qualifying years, how many p60 you have? Secondly even if there was any gap you can simply say that she changed her job in that time period, or she was looking for one and proof is that she got one.... If she is not working at the end of...

If the EEA national was a worker for a period of 4 and a half years I do not see why a CSI would be needed at all. Possibly that the UKBA may formally require the CSI when she was 'just' a student int the last six months before completion of the 5 years but she could have been a job seeker in that ...

well i queried the matter with the lady over the phone in HO. She scared me by saying that they will issue a further 5 years visa???!! Actually, and sorry for the oversight, that is right in my opinion. If you do not fulfill the criteria for permanent residence but for 'ordinary' residence under th...

i had sent mine back in mid may 2010, returned on 5th of july requesting CSI cover. sent again on 07/07/10 ..no news yet.

I believe there were reports here recently that stated that an application with an only recently purchased policy was succesful. But please check yourself or wait for others to answer. You wouldn't get a 'stamp' without the CSI because, in the view of the UKBA, you would not be lawfully resident in...

Hi everyone, I recently had my application returned due to the lack of Comprehensive Sickness Insurance cover. We then purchased one and sent everything back to Liverpool. Does the fact that we did not have such cover for the past 9 months is a reason for declining my EEA4 application? and if they d...
