I recommend you start querying about the status ASAP. Normally it takes a max of 4 months. You don't want a case similar to that suffered by Pizza.
Check your status here: https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/ ... visastatus
and see if your case has already been decided. Something seems wrong.
Right to work is a legal requirement and employers are within their right to suspend you without pay if you cannot prove this. However, your employer should not suspend without clarifying from Home office. On what basis did they suspend you? Did you not show them your biometric letter explaining the problem or proof that you have made an application with HO? Usually employers use the nationality checking service to confirm employees right to work status with the home office. Home can send positive verification (which means you can work) or negative verification(no right to work) did your employer conduct this check?vpalma wrote:In need of advice:

Thank you
Exactly why I would be worried and not patient. But yes you can do nothing if they dont respond. Recently I havent read of any cases pending that were submitted around your time.jbutterfly wrote:ajitk1 wrote:jbutterfly wrote:Hi, my timeline
ajitk1 thanks. I already did plenty times - not recognised. I have contaced local MP. I have sent few emails to HO. Have called them too - for all of this has no response. Pointless... Just wanted to share my timeline to see if anybody else had similar.
Trying to be patient

Thanks to everyone sharing information and offering encouragement on this forum. I wish everyone else waiting for good news all the best with their application.
Below: just some notes about our application I'd like to share:
We arrived in the UK in Oct 2011. I (Non-EEA) started my job immediately (that was the main reason for us moving here) but my EEA wife was unemployed for 4 months. So we thought it would be better to have our qualifying period start from Feb 2012 to Jan 2017. However, my wife got her PR from Oct 2016 (not Feb 2017) but my non-EEA PR is from Feb 2017.
In addition to the 4 months unemployment (not included in application), for the first 5 months of the qualifying period, my wife was only earning around £200 a month as she was working part-time. So this was below the NI threshold. We didn't have CSI for this period as we didn't know about it. So we couldn't put her status down as self-sufficient. We put down two statuses for this period: Worker + Job Seeker. I wrote a cover letter saying I (Non-EEA family member) was the main breadwinner and I was supporting my EEA spouse (main applicant). We provided both our bank statements for this period and highlighted on my bank statements all the transactions for the bills I was paying. I also provided my payslips for this period as further evidence. In addition, we provided all the prospective emails, job applications, invitation and rejection letters during this 5-month period. She didn't register with JobCentre Plus because of the nature of her work (which we explained in the cover letter). I just thought this might interest some of you who may be in this position. We wrote 2 cover letters. My wife's was 2 pages, while mine was 1.
I am happy to answer any questions pertaining to my application.
Again all the best with yours and God bless.
Oh.. I understand.. thanks.. but still you got the COA few days after from your biometrics. I still haven't received it! Starting to get worried.. I know it takes up to 6 months the process itself , but I don't want that something goes wrong because they haven't sent the COA and that makes the process even longer..Crentsil03 wrote:I applied on 09/05

All excellent attempt at quoting the law. However I personally feel that its better to wait a few months and get your job back (I know the implications: bills etc etc).Yanki1974 wrote:vpalma wrote:In need of advice:

Check your employers right to work policy if you have one and see what it says about the right to work verification process.If they have not followed their process, you can raise a complaint with ACAS free of charge. They will try and seek a resolution with your employer on your behalf.
To play safe, your employer may decide to confirm your right to work with HO before making any decision if they are sensible. Your employer should reimburse you for the period you have not earned money if HO confirms your right to work or issues you a COA with right to work.
Until HO issues confirmation, you cannt make an unfair/wrongful dismissal claim.
I provided them with the email Home Office sent me with the Case ID of my application, and when I received the first bio-metrics letter as well. They have suspended me and later terminated my contract on the basis that I could not provide them with a document demonstrating right to work in the UK despite of me sending them my wife and I, our marriage certificate, my wife´s Id card,and a copy of her DCPR permanent residence registration certificate. A copy of the guidance for employers right to work checks called " An employer’s guide to right to work checks" quoting page 41, additional information, and also the directive on citizens rights quoting articles 23, 24 and particularly 25.Yanki1974 wrote:Right to work is a legal requirement and employers are within their right to suspend you without pay if you cannot prove this.

Im sorry I am unable to tell you if u have to re do your bios. It is a very trivial thing. Having to go to a Post Office and fingerprints etc. You should be more worried about all the documents you have lost. I dont think it will take the same amount of time as it took to get the approval. And one more thing is: Do you even imagine the solicitor going to his old office to check for your documents? Which world are u living in? GO YOURSELF ASK AROUND. Some kind hearted person may have kept it aside. I dont know, but stop behaving like a dependent child.Pizzahut wrote:Thanks again Ajitk1 for your help. i understand now ..my solicitor coming back next i will ask him to check my post in his old address but in case if my documents were lost but my application was successful then do i need to give my biometrics again or HO will issue me again without biometrics? and do you know how much time they will take?

It would be nice to know what remarks are held on file in case my application is rejected again.
Most employers are ignorant of EEA laws. Did you get right of appeal? You have 3 months and a day from your dismissal date to make a claim of unfair or wrongful dismissal with ET assuming your have worked for 2 yrs with ur employer. Buy yourself time and go through ACAS as this is a compulsory step to make a claim. If you are not working, you can claim a fee waiver if it is not resolved through ACAS.vpalma wrote:I provided them with the email Home Office sent me with the Case ID of my application, and when I received the first bio-metrics letter as well.
