Congratulations! What was ur timeline?

I just remembered, have you tried sending an email to charging.workpermits@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk ? Maybe they can explain what happend to your payments..

yeah, I think sending two applications is too much for them to handle, if you know what I mean. Doing the premium service is not a bad idea, although when I tried to look it up a few months back, it didn't indicate it was free for EEA nationals but I guess it's only £65 according to others who trie...

haha! I've been constantly opening my door as well trying to check if I've got a post from HO.. My neighbor might probably think I'm insane or something. wats ur timeline btw?

Hi Blinxy, were you able to update your change of circumstance with the UKVI when ur EEA partner changed jobs? Sorry to hear about the result.

Hi Zedy,

I was actually considering writing a letter to our local MP as wellwell. Has anybody tried it yet?

I think you meant: EEA FP - entry clearance valid for 6 months EEA QP - for EEA nationals form ( used to be EEA1) EEA FM & EFM - for non-EEA nationals form ( used to be EEA2) I got confused about this a few months back because they kept on changing the forms from Jan 31, April 6 and now July 20..

bashyboy144 welcome back.. how long was the gap between ur biometrics enrollment and receiving ur COA?

guys, when you emailed the nweurocoa, did you receive an automated email response or is that something new? no automated response for us, you could include 'URGENT:......' in the e-mail subject and send with high priority? You should maybe add your new address in the email as well? Yup, did that la...

I'm worried they might have sent it to my old address as we have recently moved but I updated my current address at change of circumstance online.. I'm just tired of calling them all the time as it's draining most of my optimism. It ...

We have almost the same timeline but I'm still waiting for my COA..

The only time I had contact directly to the caseworker was whrn I sent a post containing my written complaint about their error in charging ang my bank statement as proof of that charge.

Congratulations Mileman!

Maybe you will receive it tomorrow. Best of luck!

BTW, write a complaint at complaints@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
aI opted to use postal order on my second account simoly because I don't trust their competence to charge my application fee even if it caused me an extra £16 for two £65.

I know exactly how you feel as the UKVI mishandled my firat application because of internal miscommunication from their charging team. You should call or write to them as it had happend to me that they have overlooked that they were suppose to charge/process two payment pages. They are mindless robo...

I also sent them an email yesterday after I called UKVI statingstating the urgency of a COA. I wish I called/emailed them sooner.

I'm glad to hear you got your COA Dirk. It brings hope to us waiting here. I hope we get ours within the week.

I enrolled my biometrics 10 days after yours. They stated in the website that it should take at least 21 days but I guess they're sticking to the 8 weeks thing. How can it be so hard for them to print that COA?
