    Hi Everyone,

    I am an Italian citizen married to a Mexican citizen. We both recently applied for a residence card. My problem (actually I don't even know if it's a problem, that's why I am writing) is that in the employment section an official stamp is required but they don't have it where I work. I asked my boss to write a letter that confirms my full time emplyment and specifies that we don't have a stamp and I also asked him to put again his signature in the Employer's Stamp box. Do you think this might be sufficient for the Immigration Office? Has anyone else experienced my same situation?
    Thank you in advance for your help,

    Sara

    No stamp

    Yep, I have the same problem and pretty much did the same as you. I am hoping that will be ok. Time will tell (no word from the Home Office as yet).

    Unbelivable!

    Hi Princess!!! You won't believe it but today 17/10 after one month and 10 days I received all the documents back with the residence card for me and a 5-year stamp with work permission on my husband's passport!!!
    I am amazed!!! This proves that you don't have to worry about the employer's stamp and that not necessarily you have a long wait ahead! I will keep the fingers crossed for you!

    Me Too!!

    Hi saralfredo,

    Thanks for letting me know.

    We got as delivery note on Thursday. I didn't think that could be it. But sure enough when my husband went to the Post Office on Friday and called me, I was in complete shock. :eek:

    Last time was 8 months, this time it took 3 weeks....

    So cool, no more immigration processing til 2012!!! :D
    We still can't go home for Christmas (other plans made), but will do so early in the new year :)

    p.s. Looks like the stamp was not such an issue.

    [My excitment is highlighted by the no. of :) I have used in this post]
