I have applied for ILR i know it takes time which is fine, but the issue is that my employer did the ECs check three times and it came out to be amber saying "We are unable to provide you with a statutory excuse." i have given my Bio-metrics details a month ago, Its been 6 weeks now and i cant work and i dont know how long will it be like this. Any advise

What is your UK Immigration history and visas held, start and end dates etc?

What date did you apply for ILR?

Presumably you applied by post??

What exactly have you applied for, PR under EEA/EU rules or ILR under UK immigration rules (there is a difference)?

Are you married to an EU citezen or an unmarried partner or extended family member?

Have you only held and EEA residence xard or do you have any UK immigration history before the residence card?

i have applied for PR under EEA, just to be clear whats the diff.

PR costs £65 and is attained automatically after 5 years if your spouse has exercised treaty rights and been a qualified person. Postal only.

ILR costs £2,297 not automatica attainment. Has to be applied for an you must meet the requirements. You can apply by post or in person for a same day decision.

Either way, it is strange that they said he has no right to work, especially if his wife is exercising treaty rights in the UK.
