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...
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'...

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 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...
