Hello all, After a nerve racking week waiting for my interview ,I finally had it today which lasted for 5 hours,questions were about too many to even count but at the end am glad we scaled through. My advise to all who in same situation is to have a sit down with your spouse and carefully life exper...

Submitted application in July and got invited for interview end of this month. But am a bit surprised with this new trend,as I know of someone who went for the same interview this month,and he got detained detained after being asked 177 questions and failing just 5. That leaves me with the question ...

I think excluding weekends min-fri as the case maybe but it's sure a straight forward process.

@mario00 recently changed mine too find link below

It takes 72 hours to have it done in HO,after that you have to call to verify it's been changed

Just a question to confirm if the UKBA take into consideration the circumstances of the application on the date it was signed, submitted, and received or when they actually process it (e.g. 3 months later)?

Ok thanks will be waiting

Ok just got a confirmation from HO that I have been issued the short COA after calling them this morning. Reasons because they could not confirm my EEA sponsor exercising treaty right even after we sent all documents required. The man over the phone has advised I write a letter about this. @lunargir...

Thanks lunar

Pls anyone know the right number to call for COA update tried calling these numbers but seem to be disconnected

0845 010 2500
0870 6067766
01516725626

I think you should probably wait till the end of the week before calling again.
I am currently in the same position as you,I sent my application on third and only got an acknowledgement on 11th so I am hoping the COA comes at the end of the week.
Just to confirm which number did you call?

Hi rosebead, I finally submitted my application to the HO Sent on 3/07/14 Delivered on 4/07/14 Got an acknowledgement letter on 11/07/14 My question is, this letter did not mention anything about being able to work or not it just says my application has been received and would be passed to a case wo...

Hi lunarGIrl ,
Can you confirm if the correct COA was issued after you drafted a mail to the HO? Thanks

Thank you for your reply,so it doesn't necessarily matter when you apply after getting married?

Or is it wrong to apply for a fp just two weeks after getting married?

Hi Everyone, I just got married to an EEA national and i am about to apply for an EEA residence card,Nevertheless my partner just got a Job exercising the treaty right and all we have now is the contract for emplyment but no pay slips yet. Just wandering if this would have an effect on my applicatio...
