I've applied EEA2 EFM on 20th Jun 2016. COA issued on 12th of August without work permit. Another COA received today with work permit. Just wondering how likely to be they issue RC? Hello, Dark matter! I also have applied for EFM, I wonder how did you manage to get COA with permission to work (and ...

Hello everyone, Many of you look really knowledgable about the process for obtaining a Residence Card and I hope someone can help me to figure out my situation. I am an Italian citizen and my wife (Japanese) applied for a EEA2 in early March. We are still waiting for the outcome after 3.5 months an...

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I sent my application on 23rd Dec and the home office received it on 24th Dec. The payment was taken on 29th Dec. I got my COA on 3rd Feb with right to work. It has now been over 6 months since they received my application. do you think I can call them to find ou...

hi everyone! so with the results of Brexit now in, with a vote to leave - what does that mean for all of us that are still waiting on our applications to work in UK via EU channels? Does this change anything? In short no, divorce hasn't happened. Referendum is not an EU process and it's not even le...

Hello, Do you know how long it can take to get a passport back? I have requested my documents 3 weeks ago after receiving the CoA. I have used both links they provided, one is the general for requesting the documents and another one to report that I haven't received the documents. I have no idea wh...

Thanks @noajthan & @Fiso4ka - is there any chance that I've missed some communication requiring any other action, since the COA and biometrics? Giving cause for rejection? I supplied more than the requested number of original documents too, which is why that COA letter worried me! But if its a ...

Hi PeatD, You shouldn't stress that much :) ! I also applied for RC as unmarried partner, and my CoA also states 2 reasons why they cannot confirm my right to work: 1) there are not enough original documents provided; 2)the application made as unmarried partner - so that's the real reason. Once they...

Hi

Schenhen countries wont issue a visa if you dont have a status in your residing country. I.e. you have to submit your passport and UK visa/RC (copy) with the application

Thank you sandy88,

But I have my valid Tier 4 student visa in the passport. Doesn't this count?

Hi guys, I have a question...I have just applied for my passport back as I want to travel for a short holiday. I know receiving RC will long time anyway - so i might also take it easy and carry on with my life :) As I am non EU and unmarried partner I need a Schengen visa to travel to Europe. Do you...

Hi, I wonder if anyone has supplied the Home Office additional document AFTER they submitted the EEA QP or FM application? My situation is like this: my husband (EEA) and I (non-EEA) sent our application at the end of April. Regarding my husband's proof of being a qualified person, we sent in his p...

Hi Fiso4ka, Congratulations!! Is it without right to work? Because, generally they sent COA wo right to work in the same envelope with biometrics letter. Thank you :D Yes, with no right to work as I am unmarried partner - so that was expected. Some people call and negotiate this with HO, but I thin...

Hi everyone!! Today I have finally received my biometric letter and CAS!!! WOW :D Didn't expect both in the same letter and honestly was prepared to wait for another month. So that's my current timeline: Application sent: 18/04/2016 Application received: 19/04/2016 Biometric letter: 26/05/2016 (date...

Hi, Its 36days since I applied for EEA2. I did not receive biometric letter yet. According to EU directive: Article 10 Issue of residence cards 1.

Hi, I've had a few applications with HO from student to unmarried partnership visa with my partner. I never felt HO so unorganised as it is been now. I understand the amount of applications has risen considerably with EU Referendum close, but some how this should be better managed. I have a friend ...

Hi, I see that I am not alone. I applied on 19th April. I did not receive anything since then. Last week I requested my passport back, it was an emergency, my very close friend died. I indicated it in the request, I told that please contact me/send my passport as soon as possible, because it is an ...

Hello everyone, I am planning to apply for EEA2(EFM). I am in a long-term relationship with EU partner, and we are both based in UK. At the moment, I am preparing a cover letter to connect all the supporting documents. My questions is: does my partner need to write and sign this cover letter too? th...
