Hi Guys This is an interesting forum. I have sent my EEA2 (Unmarried) on 7th Jan 2014 COA received on the 15th Jan 2014 (No right to work) was on unpaid leave for almost 2 months now,, and might lose my job if they dont send me a COA with right to work or the RC by mid April. I don't know about you ...

1- I don't know about the ILR but the 5 year policy prior to applying for a Permanent Residency does not apply to student or PSW visas.
2- If your relationship ends (God Forbid) your EEA2 will also end.

Then why don't you persuade your employer to use the UKBA designed special helpline for employers to confirm your right of work with them? Hi Sheraz7, the employers only want to see the COA - they have tried to call the employers checking service and although they also confirmed over the phone that ...

just an update: I've called the UKBA enquiries team during the past couple of days and have had 4 different advisrs on the phone. They all said the same thing: I have the right to work while i wait for my application - but they also stated that they are not the ones who provide the COA - as a result ...

Thanks 'Jambo', i totally agree with you. and this is exactly what i did this morning Let's hope something will come out of it.

thanks Vinny, i guess i will have to wait and see - hopefully i won't lose my job.
I mean not that we are able to get in touch with the home office anyways. All of this still doesnt make sense to me, but i guess i have no other choice but to wait.

I am sure if you search then you will also find the applicants who even married to EU nationals got mistakenly the CoA without right to work. Until a non-eu national is not recognized a family member of a qualified EU national he normally not be granted right to work. Thanks Sheraz7, Even if i was ...

Thanks for your replies. Although it still doesnt make any LOGICAL sense to me, but i do understand what you are saying. but how come this individual who had posted something on this forum a while back (and who had exactly the same situation like i have) received the longer version of CoA? see link ...

You said your PSW visa already has expired and you did apply as an unmarried couple which dont allow you to give right to work according the rules and regulations. So you have to wait until to get a decision Yes my PSW did expire, but i had applied before it expired. I understand that an unmarried ...

Hi there, here's my situation - i hope you could advise: I'm a non EU national - i hold a Tier 1 (post study work visa) - and i am the unmarried partner (of 3.5 years) of a EU citizen exercising treaty rights in the UK - (yes we've been living together for over 2 years). I applied for the EEA2 RC ...
