Employer requesting evidence - pre employment checks
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2018 9:39 am
Hello everyone,
I hope some of you may help me once again.
I acquired Permanent Residence Card in May 17 in which I was informed I could apply for british citizenships in November 2017.
I just went through a civil partnership dissolution as the relationship has failed sadly. My ex partner no longer lives in the uk whilst I’m stiil living and working here. I have asked the question in the forums before and I have been told a divorce would not affect my status.
My issue at the moment is that I went through a process to work for the civil services to which I was rejected for being Brazilian, despite the fact I have got permanent rights to reside in the UK.
They eventually accepted to look at it again as o have stated that according to their guidelines, an eea citizen and or a lawful family member can take employement in the civil service.
They have now requested evidence from my passport to my partner’s passport, pays slips, civil partnership certificate and it’s trabslation.... I have even been told my union may not even be valid as it was not firstly done in the UK. Despite the fact that the Home Office has judged it to be sufficient and genuine.
I have just received an email stating the following:
Please can you provide evidence of your partners present work e.g. wage slip, contract P60 etc. Also please can you confirm if you fall into either of the below categories:
If your civil partner is a UK national then they (the partner) need to have triggered their Freedom of Movement by working in another EEA country.
If your civil partner is an EEA national then they (the partner) need to have triggered their Freedom of Movement by working in the UK
Could you please advise whether they are entitled to request all that information?
If so, how can I demosntrate I am entitled to work here regardless of my partner’s place of employment?
Also, I don’t think you may know this but a brazilian, with Permanent Rights to Reside after lawfully been living with EEA national who was exercising treaty rights for 5 years... can this whole thing be a case for discrimination?
Look forward to hear from anyone.
Thank you
