Hi all,

I was just wondering what have been the experiences of people that:
- Are non-EEA citizens
- Are the unmarried partner of an EEA national
- Had a residence card with employment/business activities allowed
- Applied for permanent residence

When you applied for PR, did your CoA state that you were allowed to work?
From reading this forum, I understand that if the Home Office already have a record of your relationship (even if unmarried), then the COA should state that you are allowed to work. However, I cannot find much evidence of people that had this situation before. Any advice? I am going to move jobs just at the time when I need to apply for permanent residence hence why I am asking that; I am hoping not fall in a limbo while waiting for them to process my application.

Thanks!

Answering my own question in case someone has a similar query in the future.
Yes, the CoA allows "to accept offers of employment in the United Kingdom, or to continue in employment in the United Kingdom, whilst your application is under consideration". I received mine today.

Hey I am Now seeing this.....some people have received COA with no work permit
thankfully mine has a work permit
