Hello everyone!

I am confused about one thing concerning application for EEA2 Residence Permit. My husband is from Mauritius and will need to apply for EEA2 by the 15th of January and I am an EEA National.

I am just about to accept a contracted job at Virgin Media for a duration of 3 weeks. I was wondering if such a short term job won't be a problem on an application. What is more, I have just been entitled to a jobseeker allowance, which states that if I reject any kind of work, I will not be able to apply for the allowance for a few weeks, even up to 3 years.

What should I do? I was planning to fill the application for EEA2 and send it while working for Virgin Media, even if it's just for 3 weeks. Can the duration of the contract create a problem?

If there is anyone who can help, I will be really grateful.
Thank you.

Thank you a lot for your answer, vinny.
Does the refusal of the other person's application mean I shouldn't take up the job, but stick to the Jobseeker Allowance? Do they consider only long-term employment or maybe the amount of documents provided in the other person's case was not enough?
I will be able to attach 2 weeks payslips, a contract and I will try to get a stamp and signature from my employer on the EEA2 form. Would that be enough, what do you think?

Thank you again for your help

You will have problem later. Home office can call your work place anytime ( after 1 month or may be 5 months ) . And if you look at this forum many application got rejected because someone left a job but didn't inform the Home office

You can apply EEA2 RC at anytime, therefore, try to apply it when you (EEA national) will get some regular employment otherwise self sufficiency can be alternative for which several threads available in forum as guidance.

Again, thank you for your help! It means a lot to me

I am 21 and would like to start studying at the university as from June or September, so it's difficult to me to find a long term job. What if I inform Home Office about the change of circumstances? (For example tell them I'm on a Jobseeker again) Would it help?

Can I apply after the eea family permit visa expires? Self sufficiency sounds difficult to us, as my husband hasn't found a job yet (we're in London only for a month, before we had to stay in Poland with my family). Also, we don't have any savings, that's why even a 3 weeks job would be helpful. I have no idea what to do now.

Let the EEA family permit to expire which won't affect future application and when you will feel fit for application then apply.

But then, will my husband be able to undertake a job?

For getting work normally an employer ask for Residence permit ot at least COA, but if the employer is familiar with the EU directive then may employ without that but it is very rare.

Thank you! This is extremely helpful news - I thought that after eea family permit EEA2 is necessary immediately. And by residence permit do you mean Biometric Residence Permit?

And how to get COA without applying for EEA2?

Thank you for your patience and all the answers, we are clueless

Residence permit is a visa sticker on passport usually valid for 5 years and it is not a Biometrics residence permit under EU route applications. Once eea2 rc application is submitted then a COA is normally be issued.

I am searching for an application for a residence permit and my only results are EEA2 Residence Card and Biometric Residence Permit. I don't know where to look for it, as my husband would be willing to apply for it, if we're not yet ready for EEA2. Any help?
