EEA2 Appeal Timelines - ONLY 1 TOPIC - UpToDate

[Blinxy]

Hi all !

7 months later no news from the tribunal. I decided to call the number and the case worker told me that it can take up to 12 months before having a hearing date or the hearing date Will be 12 months after the month you first filled your appeal. Meaning that my hearing date might be in August 2016.... So I Will not get my resident card until/around January 2017!

Did someone filled his appeal around march 2015 and got any updates to give us?



Info regarding right to Work :
For those who were granted the right to Work with their COA just so you know you STILL have the right to Work. You need to ask for a New COA every 6 months. I asked for mine and it came 3 days after my request.

Apparently it take one year !!
I am currently in touch with someone who appealed on April 2015 ... He received a letter On january 2016 confirming that his hearing date is in april 2016...
But if you have any serious reason you believe you need to get your appeal date sooner then you must contact HM Courts and Tribunal Services ....

My husband send a letter on my behalf to ask for a sooner hearing and they didn't reply.... so I think I will just be patient and wait until then.But the strange thing is when you choose the "paper" route they told you that you will get a hearing sooner and a ruling faster.... I think it's a LIE!

i have a problem and need n advice.
I get refusal letter dated 12th of march, but i opened it today as i was on holiday.
Home office saying i did not register with WRS but i did and i sent them my wrs with my current employee name on it dated November 2008 with all the other papers. So now i am confused ... did they miss this ? it was definitely with my application as i just took it out of the envelope home office send me back.
They want £80 for appeal, but why i should pay for somebody mistake ?
Anyway letter says 14 calendar days, so it;s too late ... what now ?
What is the best nr to phone home office please ?

Hi guys
I will share with you my happines and experience. My husband has finally got his residence permit today after a long struggle with the Home Office.

Here's our story:

We sent an EEA application 12.04.2015, the Home Office sent us questionarrie 18/09/2015. Me and my husband filled out questionarrie and sent it back after one week. We got refusal letter on our application 29.09.2015. Home Office rejection was very diffuse.

We appeal the decision 10/10/2015 , in the meanwhile I have sent home office more than 7 letters and they answered all my letters. Every time they answered my letters with different reasons, then finally on 29/03/2016 I sent the last letter to the same person how gave us rejection and she or him send us letter with residence card dated 30/03/2016. Since we have sent an appeal we have not heard anything yet, they have not sent us confirmation that they received our complaint, but now we can finally relax. I would advise everyone to not only wait for a appeal , send letters directly to the Home Office and the complainant.

I wish every body good luck

Well done Nora !!
Congratulations, you must have booked your holiday tickets already
Could you be a bit more specific about why you were refused amd what was said in those letters in more detail

Thanks alex1128

We were refused because they worte in the refusal letter that Regarding to regulation 17 (1) (a) a valid passport: I have explained to Home Office that my husband passport was sent to the Home Office and is still held by the Home office. I submitted a letter with my EEA application from the Home office confirming that my passport is being held by them.


Home Office have been in possession of my husband's passport for three years, they refused to return it. My husband has been overstays for three years too.

They refused to send back the passport, and I refused to give up. I called the Home Office many times, I demand my husband's passport via the Home Office website but they refused to send it back. Finally I wrote a letter to the different Home Office departments in the the UK and reviled out due to the treatment they gave us. After a week so they sent passport to my husband and all identity cards that they have kept for over three years. I discovered that they had sent us an identity card which was valid.

Since January 2016 until now, I have sent many letters of complaint and I asked ask you to look at our case again with new eyes, and I have explained, we are going to win the case in court. Finally so they gave up, and now they have sent us your residence permit

Thank u very much for help my x was eea national i dont understand legit but as much i understand you mean to ask is my marriage was genuine or not so answer is yes it was but its broke down with divorce please do you know any thing how to find out my ex employer history.

[Blinxy]

If you got a refusal and now divorced and I think it's better for you to try to re apply as a divorcé Of a EEA NAtional and mention that you want to remain in the UK. I think there is a possibility.

If you filled for an appeal I really hope that you put your divorce papers and a cover letter to ask to remain in the UK even if you are divorced.

I don't really think that the employer will give you anything and you need to ask your ex-wife to provide the documents for you so you can re-apply.

Wow Blinxy,

Congratulations!!! Ready for holidays or some weekends back in France So happy for you !
I should have requested appeal by paper only as well, the wait for hearing date just last forever, I still have no news and my husband might change his job soon again ! And may be Brexit will happen as well... Don't know what to to ...

Anyway, did they informed you all the details like checking with your husband's employer etc.?

They didn't check. What the judge did was looking at the documents we send back for the hearing (all new contracts, invoices because he's a self employed IT consultant, bank records, contact details from the actual employer, details of the accountant etc). At that point in January the judge said that he was happy with my husband situation as he was working and established in the UK.He said that he was satisfied with all docs we provided.

BUT since:

My husband wrote on my behalf on march , asking the judge to consider new evidences, he send his contract extension, contact details of his actual manager and told the judge that he might not be needed but he doesn't want them to think that he's not working at all or stopped working.

The judge said that he was really happy that we did that and he had to consider those new evidence.He was more confident about my husband work situation and therefore he allowed the appeal.


My only concern at this point is that the HO has 4 weeks to challenge the decision and after that 12 weeks to deliver the RC. We ask in the march letter to get the RC if the appeal is allowed before September because I am expecting and we wanted to go to France and see our families. The judge took note of that on the decision but I am not sure that the HO will take that into account....

So I will wait 1 month I think and write a complaint maybe by email to ask for my passport and RC back ASAP so I can go in France and enjoy my summer holiday.

I will keep you posted. Let me know about your timeline as well I really hope you'll hear from them soon!

Maybe with EEA4 it's different I don't know.Why did they refuse your application in the first time?

Hi,i lodged my appeal for an oral hearing on the 11/11/2015 and am still waiting for my hearing date.I was wondering if there's any1 with the same timescale plz

[kafrica]

9 months still no news for hearing date , how many more months or may be years for the appeal date to be listed ???

Hi,yazz it's been a while since you last updated.I was wondering whether you got your hearing date after.this waiting is mental torture

[Blinxy]

Hi,i lodged my appeal for an oral hearing on the 11/11/2015 and am still waiting for my hearing date.I was wondering if there's any1 with the same timescale plz

After reading the timeline from start the hearing date generally comes( when it's an oral hearing) around 1 year after you lodged the appeal so I think you'll get a date before the 11/11/2016.... However I don't know if their is any changes since 2014, beginning of 2015......

A lot of people here are in the same case but don't come back to update their situation and it's a bit annoying...

@Blinxy:thanx for responding to my post and congrats on appeal decision.I take it,it's more quicker on paper than Oral then.I hope it won't take this long endless waiting in future as they are planning to rocket the appeal fees.

I really hope that you'll get a hearing date soon. I heard about the prices going from 80£ to 490£ and more but the thing is I got my 80£ refunded last week so I really hope that even if they do increase the price it will be refunded.... not in every case I think but in most of them!!!!

Can you give me the reasons why your application was refused?
