refused EEA4 application

[natejenny77]

Hello, need advice on what to do.
I am a non eea family member(husband) and my wife and i applied for PR which was refused due to lack of medical insurance when she was self sufficient for 2 years due to us having a baby. Now she's self employed and my employers are saying that i don't have the right to work in the UK. Is this case? Please advice
Thanks

A qualified person may also be self-employed. Therefore, you should also have the right to work in the UK.

Apply for another residence card.

What was she doing before the birth of the baby?

[natejenny77]

She was working as an estate agent. Her application was refused because she couldn't provide medical insurance for the 2 years that she was self sufficient

[Obie]

But if she left work to look after your child then she was clearly a worker. Provided of course she returned within a reasonable period.

There was no need to bring in self sufficiency .

Hi Obei,
Please I just want to know the reasonable amount of time you refer to e.g a year after given birth or a year and half.

Thanks for your professional input.

She didn't return to work. She became self employed in 2014.

Like Obei said if it is just for a year of maternity of looking after the baby or there was a strong medical reasons for an extra one year to make it two years as you mentioned, then you argue with HO.

I think you can try through appeal or just admit the mistake and apply for new RC before thong change.

Good luck
