Hello,
I have being in the Uk for over 5yrs under valid student and post study work visas respectively, i got married to my partner (eea national) in london with proof of wedding certificate march this year , i sent my EEA2 application in with all the required documents on the 31st of may 2013, i got my certificate of application lastweek basically saying I DO NOT HAVE RIGHT TO WORK untill my application is dealt with.

could this be a mistake? beacuse i am aware that married spouses have a right to work (my husband works aswell at the moment and i have sent evidences to prove).

what can i do please my visa expires in a few days and my employers need my certificate of application with proof to work before i can continue with my employment.

your expert advice and experiences is needed ASAP please!
Thank you for your time. :

Yes it seems like a mistake because you applied as married partner of EU national and therefore, your COA must confirm your right of work. You can write them for issuing you the correct one.

Thank you , I hope it is a mistake . I am going to give them a call tomorrow .

I called HO and they said I have right to work, the letter was based of me still having a valid visa and they can confirm that to any employer. Phew! Thanks

I would be inclined to ask them to re-issue the COA with the correct information.
