I submited an application under zambrano between 27octber-1stNov 2011 but have not received any letter from HO till date.I have stayed in UK for more than 5years with my spouse and my British citizen child.I tried calling them last week but couldn't get through. Any advice or information will be highly appreciated as I have not work for nearly three years.

It was posted by my solicitor. My solicitor called UKBA on 02/12/11 and was told they have received it but still checking validity before i cld be issued with COA. My wife and I have not got any bad record in UK and never overstayed. We use to work even in a reputable organisations in UK and eventually had our child who is a British Citizen with a British passport.My problem is how long shd UKBA be checking for validity before i get the COA?

the application takes roughly about 3 to 4 weeks before the certificate is being issued keep praying its going to be good news. A friend was refused because he and the mother of his son are both the child's career. they refused him stating the relationship doesn't reflect full dependency that the other partner can take care of the child. Zambrano in the UK is twisted more easier when u create the senerio that you and your partner are not together and that you are the sole caerer of the child.

thanks for the encouragement and information. we have been legally married and stayed together for 5yrs now and documents such as marriage certificates, photos, birth certificates, bills, references from MP, friends,past employers etc. have been submited. Are these evidence enough?

Hello,Zambrano is abt who is the sole carer of the child,if your wife is working then u qualify to be the carer of the child,basically i stay with my child,and i proved to them that he has never slept in his dad's house.U have to get letters from friends,neighbours,sure start manager if u take your child to some activities or get aletter from your GP that u take your child to baby clinic these r some of the evidences.

hello sarahassy please I would like to know if u were able to get an NI because i called them to book an appointment but they said i have to wait till my resident card is being allocated not until then they cant give me an NI.
BUT ON uk resident.com prince posted that he was able to get his own NI with his COA.also under their disscussion there they said given an coa doesnt necessary gurantee that a residence card will be given it only shows that the application is being acknowledged. im a bit scared u know but i am always praying for the best.

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and find it quite informative. My solicitor submitted an application for me since ending of November but till now no word from HO. Am a single mother of a British citizen who is living with my son, his father is absent in his life. Am on panic mode right now, do I call the HO?

mikilo2008 · Post by **mikilo2008** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 12:42 pm

l will advice you wait a little bit longer because it takes between 2 to 6 wks for some coa to be allocated. also because of the recent holiday there might be back log of some applications to treat by the end of the month if u dont hear from them then i will advice you tell your solicitor to call them. keep praying and dont panic you will laugh at the end good luck

you don't need any ID,take your COA,copies of all the documents u submitted to the HO and aletter from employer.even if u take all that they r going to clalify your COA by calling HO.Anyway i received my NI yesterday.

Did your lawyer explained to you why he thinks Zambrano is the best route in your case?

Thanks Sarahassy for your response. I submitted my application on the 28th of November and no response yet from the Home office. I called my solicitor today and she said I should be patient. So am still waiting, hoping and praying for a positive response.
