EEA DCPR requirements for BC

Post by salmintin » Sat Feb 18, 2017 7:25 pm

I was wondering what kind of (cross) checks the BC team makes when assessing EEA nationals. :roll: I am aware BC falls under completely different laws and procedures, but I want to make sure I am prepared to apply.

For example, when I was issued a DCPR, Home Office kept my Yellow Registration Certificate, which I used to prove I had the right to work during student years. For BC I have to tell them that I worked as a student, but I no longer have the yellow card.

Ultimately, my questions are:

1. are they likely to request EEA-related evidence that they have already seen in previous applications?

and

2. do they normally "challenge" or "question" the decision of a previous caseworker, i.e. if the caseworker used discretion in a previous application (for example to "accept" a gap of a few days while exercising treaty rights)?

Only someone on the "inside" could answer the question ...
My gut feel answer to 1. and 2. is "possibly".
As you say, EEA and BC rules are separate laws.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Thanks, alterhase58.

I checked with a few immigration solicitors and was told not to worry, because once I have DCPR, I don't need to worry about it anymore, so I wanted to see if there are other opinions. :roll:

The problem is I saw a few people who were questioned about their past IRL application(s) and I'm assuming extra inquiries can happen with EEA nationals too, but I've never seen any EEA reporting anything like that. :x
