[btkakisim]

hi every one. I'm waiting since 24 september (recieved coa 15.10.2012) last friday ukba send a fax to my husbands work place and ask his employer if he is still working there or not. what do you say? is it a good sign or a bad sign? at least i know that they are working on our case. i send them a very very kind letter at 07.03.2013. i dont know if the letter kick them a little bit.

it is going to be 6 months 5 days later. if i call them, they have to give me an explanation for my suffering, do they?

It's always scares me when someone say, "I received my RC and never called or email them"...
In my situation, I requested my passport by email twice... Once yesterday and the first one over two weeks ago...

Only the outcome will show us if we were right or not to have call or email them ...
EEA2 sent: 20th Oct 2012
EEA2 Received: 22nd Oct 2012
COA received: 30th Oct 2012
Requested Passeport back: 06th March 2013
Requested Passeport back: 18th March 2013
...

I contacted the UKBA my email, post, telephone and through my local MP in order to get our passports back - and I still got my RC. I think you worrying unnecessarily - I don't think the UKBA hold back decisions on immigration matters out of spite!

[self-problem]

Is she self employed?

Yes she is,when people apply in other ways like self-sufficient, self-employed,the UKBA only complicate ever more the situation

It's feels like every EU citizen is obligate to work as employer to they family members get a residence card

It's like UKBA took way your chance to do your own business and growing in the country

I disagree,as ukba would love self employed persons because self employed persons create new jobs and support uks economy.but the problem is individuals who do not submit the require documents.on the other hand EU/non EU workers just filled vacancies of low skilled jobs rather then british workers as a result british workers claim benifits,and as a eu/non eu worker,if salary is less then yearly allowances then no tax on it.

Hi Just to let you know, my wife received her Residence Card on Saturday, 16 March 2013 (dated 7 March 2013)

EEA2 application sent 16 January 2113
EEA2 recevied by UKBA on 17 January 2013
COA, with right to work, received 16 February 2013
Residence Card received 16 March 2013 (dated 7 March 2013)
Residence Card renewal date 16 March 2018

Our application was using the Surinder Singh ruling. I am UK citizen, and was working in Ireland and living with my wife there at the same time.

I did send a request to return documents on 16 Feb 2013, but followed this up with a cancel to return the documents as I wanted my wife to have the RC in her passport not on paper.

I'm pretty impressed, for the first time, at the dealing of this by UKBA.

If anyone wants any advice from me, please send me a message and I will be glad to share my story and findings

Our application was using the Surinder Singh ruling. I am UK citizen, and was working in Ireland and living with my wife there at the same time.

I am glad that your wife received the RC. We are waiting for the RC for more than 4 & half months now. My case is similar to yours i.e. Surinder Singh but I have been waiting longer than you. Can you tell me what documents did you submit please?

[andyjohnst]

We submitted:

Initial work contract
9 monthly pay slips
Letter from employer confirming I passed my 6 month probation
Letter from employer confirming my resignation
Irish P45
Irish tax certificate
Property rental agreement (in both mine and my wife’s name)
Bank statement (my name)
Gas bill in both our names
Electric bill in both our names
TV License in wife’s name
My UK passport
Wife’s Azerbaijani passport
Our UK weddings certificate
My long form UK birth certificate

Basically just gave them everything we had that proved I exercised EU treaty Right in Ireland and that my wife was living with me at the same time. Whilst in Ireland, we got a EEA Family permit issued to visit the UK and a further one issued to her whilst we were on holiday in Azerbaijan to return to the UK.

Hello Everybody, I'm new to this site. I'd applied for EEA2 and still waiting for my RC. Here's my timeline:
App. sent: 25/08/2012
App. received by HO: 28/08/2012
COA issued: 15/10/2012
RC: ??????No news after that.

Because its exact seven months now, I wanted to make some enquiries but I don't know what should I do? I know its worthless calling to their contact centers as they can't tell you the progress of your application. Today I've sent an email to the customer complaints department because I didn't know any other email address which I should contact.

So, is that anybody here who can guide me with any contact number or any other useful email address.
Thanks.

[EEA2APPLICANT]

Could you provide a bit more background of your application? Have you applied as an unmarried or married partner and what documents have you submitted? I am waiting for my RC as well for almost 5 and a half month.
That would be appreciated.

Unfortunately today I received a refusal letter from UK Border regarding my EEA2 application.
I applied as a husband of a EEA citizen who is a student now. The reason is the Comprehensive Medical Insurance, we provide EHIC and a statement of intent. So they say that we fail to provide sufficient evidence to confirm that my wife has the right to stay in uk.

So. .. What i do now?, I need to Appeal with the enclosed form, or i should buy a private medical insurance and then apply again?, Who knows the appropriate medical insurance I need?, Anybody in the same situation?

Pleaseee I need help!

Also my time line was:

Application sent: 01/04/13
Application receive: 06/01/13
COA Received: 13/02/11, dated 13/02/07
Refusal Letter: 13/03/19, dated 13/03/16 (saturday?)

As far as I know they won't refuse your case due to lack of documents, if they needed any documents they'll ask you via mail to send certain supporting documents, but if you still want to send any documents you can send it on same address as your application with your case id number.

Hello, Actually they are not taking EHIC as a medical cover and not even the medical insurance from another country. You have to take a comprehensive medical insurance for both of you. When I applied I got the cheapest quote from AXA in £52 a month for both of us.
Hope this will help.

hi guys, i have a question!

I sent my eea2 application on 29th of Jan and I still have not heard anything from the UKBA, no COA and nothing.I have tried to phone them up to chase the case as I need COA for work but they said there was nothing they could do at this stage and I would have to wait.

Should I be concerned as it has been 7 weeks and I still have not received my COA? any ideas? any advice?


thanks in advance
