unmarried partner

[farouk123]

Dear Sir,

I Farooq (Pakistani citizen) and wife is spanish, its about Home Office.

Home Office has given us 70 days of notice period to get married
I applied for "unmarried partner application" before expiring my Visa on 27th of August 2015 and in the meantime they took my right to work on 18th September 2015.
On 17th of October 2015 i got married and sent all the documents and our marriage certificate on 23rd of October 2015. According to the UK law, when you get married, Home Office will send an acknowledgement letter with full right to work.

We are confused whether they´re giving right to work to me or not as i can´t afford to live in London six months without working rights as i never worked as illegal and i won´t. i been working in Boots for the last four years and they just suspended me. At this stage, we don´t know if the acknowledgement letter will come within 4 weeks or 6 months time. Our lawyer says that it depends on the case´s worker as we switch our application with my marriage certificate on 23 rd of october.
Any Suggestions

Had you lived together with proof for 2 years?

They don't need to...they're married now Wanderer.

We were not living together for 2 years that's why they took my right to work
My question is that I'm married now and I switch the application,can I get right to work or still I have to wait for a months.

I'm moving your thread to the EEA forum where you should get more advice.

I'm losing the plot lately......

[farouk123]

I'm married now but I applied as unmarried partner application so in the meantime I ll stay legally.
They took my right to work as we provided all the evidences.
They didn't gave me right to work my question is that now I switch the application into marriage.
Can they allow me right of work or not or should I wait till
six months.
My lawyer wrote a letter 2 days ago to allow me right to work as I'm married now.
What do u think?
Any suggestions

Your lawyer has all the facts...what does he say?

[farouk123]

50 / 50

[Casa]

Has he explained his reasoning?

[Obie]

You lawyers knows the law and policy, he ought to have known that a new COA will not be issued.

[farouk123]

Well to be honest he told me that new Coa can be issued it depends on the case worker but I don't believe.they took my right to work on old application(unmarried partner)
And now he switched.
I'm confused

Just for clarity, I think you guys mean a COS, not a COA (which was abolished 4 years ago)?

It may be helpful if you try to understand these acronyms and the context in which they are used before questioning their correctness.

It is wholly inappropriate to interfere in this way.

The thread is correct and COA in this context means Certificate of Application.

With no justification, you are accusing people of using wrong acronyms.

Just for anybody else, the COA is referring to an EEA2 application. Basically it's a response to the EEA application that states, among other things, whether the HO confirms the immediate right to work (or not). A link to the basic details. Sorry about the confusion.
