I have not tried this but would be interested in hearing how it will turn out for you with the application for a Schengen visa. My husband (dutch) and I emailed a couple of embassies a while ago as I needed to travel to the Schengen area, among which were Switzerland and the Netherlands. We noticed ...

Just got curious: why the helpline is not reliable? Do they tend to give a lot of wrong information? Are people taking the calls actual staff of UKVI?

Thanks for input ohara. Most cases the soliciotrs ask for an upfront colsultation fee. Is this common practice or can I find good ones that have free first consultation to be able to judge their knowledge? I have been quoted quite high amounts for them to "take a look" and talk through my options.

I never needed to sign for it, they always drop it in the postbox like the bio letter.

Out of scope. This is am immigration forum for immigration matters. For regular civil law disputes such as employment issues seek appropriate advice from an appropriate legal professional. I do not see how this is out of scope when dismissal relates to the excersizing of EEA family member rights ...

The person in Prague case already holds a RC of a family member from Czech Republic. That is an easier claim than holding a CoA from the UK

I would indeed definetely try the Employer Checking Service...

How does it work to take the employer to tribunal? I havent seen any posts exploring this. Is there any information on the internet or any case law etc? How come Home Office does not mention this on their guidance to employers at all? What can be done about this? I would really appreaciate a ...

On my COA it says it's only valid with an ECS which returns a positive result. So I believe an employer is required to have a copy of the COA and a positive confirmation of ECS I also thought the smae due the the wording on the CoA. My employer (or currently ex-) always takes a copy from the ...

I am prefectly fine with firms not being named. I would be really indebted if people can give some strategy in choosing an advisor. I do not know anyone personally who has a similar immigration situation as me (i.e. spouse of EEA), therefore a good approach to identifying one would be really helpful.

noajthan, I remember reading in the employer's guidence to acceptable working right documents that Positive Verification will only be issued after the CoA.

In case her CoA ois already issued this will work...

Another option that comes to my mind it that send a next day delivery letter to the Home Office. Enclose another next day delivery envelope and request a CoA, explaining your situation with your employer and that you are pregnant etc. It is a creative solution but it might actually work. I expect ...

According to my experience CoA arrives exactly one week after the Biometric enrollment. Show them the proof that you enrolled your biometrics and tell them that the CoA should arrive soon. On your biometric enrolment you have a Cae ID number already. My company dismissed me with immediate notice in ...

Hello all, I ttihnk it is not allowed to recommend a specific advisor in this ofrum but can we discuss how to choose a legal advisor that is well informed and experienced EEA cases? Are there any websites that one can learn from? I contacted a few solicitors but did not get any trusting relationship ...

Other option could be to drive through Calais, then you wouldnt have to worry about taking a plane. However I havent tried this route with the CoA. (I am currently in the same situation as you are, we also wanted to travel. Still not entirely decided as our decision depends on other factors as well ...

Here is a link that provides some limited perspective:

If you are not in a hurry try and submit a "Freedom of Information" request.

Indeed both affirmative. I am fine with not taking them to the court at this stage as I do not want to create any bad will with anyone. As long as I am employed back my loss is limited. Building good relationships is not easy but burning bridges is. However for future cases, what is the best way to ...

Thank you for the guide. I do read these things quite often now.

I was also very suprised reading this post, as I read about the strict procedures and also spoke with a Home Office call center when I got my first refusal. They informed me about the procedure that you would first get a letter etc. However, I feel that I would never have to know this much about ...

If you were not a resident, can you claim your taxes back and pay them into your home country? To me even if it is a rule to have sickness insurance, could there be a way to argue back with the evidence that you have never been a burden to their social system? Or am I just dreaming of a perfect ...
