Consequences of DCPR rejection?
Posted: Tue Oct 04, 2016 9:47 am
I have received some very helpful advice on here before and as a result have applied for and received my registration certificate (EU citizen). I am now contemplating whether to go ahead and apply for DCPR. The issue is that I am slightly doubtful that my evidence is good enough.
Should I apply for DCPR and risk a possible rejection or would it better to wait and see what transition agreement will be put in place for EU citizens already in the UK? Are there any possible consequences to having a rejected DCPR application attached to my name? I understand there is probably no clear answer to this question, but people here have previously offered some great insights, so I'm just interested to hear what people think!
(Background info in case anyone is interested:
Qualifying year 1 - 4 : student
Qualifying year 5: full time worker (9 months)
Qualifying year 5: 3 months unemployed / job seeker
The reason why I'm doubtful my evidence is sufficient is 2 reasons: as a student I didn't have CSI or an EHIC card. I did have comprehensive health insurance through my home country and have proof of this but I'm not 100% sure it will be accepted?
After finishing my degree I had a job, which I left (voluntary) and was then a job seeker for a short period, but never registered with the Jobcentre. I have retrieved a couple of emails that I sent around looking for work, but most of my application were paper application forms / CVs handed out at cafes, shops, etcetera. I still have some of the CVs and covering letters I wrote at the time - but not sure if this will be sufficient proof? I had no more health insurance at this time so can't qualify on a self-sufficiency basis either.
I definitely can't qualify based on later dates, as I returned to university to do a postgraduate degree but had no CSI/EHIC/comprehensive health insurance from my home country for most of this time (until a few months ago when I finally became aware of this requirement & took out insurance).
