Is your EEA family permit still valid ?
Did you submit evidence of your unmarried partner exercising treaty rights?

Proof of at least two years cohabitation, akin to marriage?
A valid EEA family permit?
You may have to wait for the residence card to confirm your rights to work.

Hi Mohsinmunshi,
Is this your first application as an extended family member? I mean do you have another residence card from any country of Europe Union?

If you don't have, as unmarried partner you will not have right to COA until your case is checked by the HO. Sorry, but this is the rule for Unmarried Partners. but...

If you have any previous residence card from any other country from Europe Union, it will assure you equal rights.

Regulation 7(3): an extended family member has the same rights as a direct family member, providing they continue to satisfy the conditions of 'Regulation 8' if your document remain valid and not have been revoked!

When you apply as unmarried partner, the HO (that is nothing helpful) will not pay attention to this and will not give you the right to have a COA, (unless you are married)... But if you have a previous european residence card make your request to COA department NWEUROCOARequests@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk mentioning the Regulation 7 (3) and a copy of your residence card.
Good luck!
