Hi Guys, Just to let you know that I’ve submitted my application for the EEU4 (Permanent Residence Card) on 16 of January 2010. I’ve received a letter certification of application on 27 of January 2010. And For 22 of March 2010 I’ve received my Passport Back with my stamp of Resident permit. ...

Congratulation Chirurgie, One theme clearly appears: action pays and the more you make noise about your case the more chance you will stand that UKBA will do something about your case. This is clearly NOT the way, a Governmental Organization should work !! But given the incredible level of INCOMPET...

Well, I received a letter from my caseworker requesting more information and proof of certain dates to fill the 5-year gap and I sent this off 25th July.

Not heard anything back since but am keeping all fingers crossed!

As far as Im aware, they only require proof of treaty rights of the EEA family member. The non-EEA is entitled through the EEA partner. I have only sent documents for my EEA partner and only my passport from my side. They haven't asked me yet for anything ( after 9.5 months) but that may mean that ...

Hello there! Can I ask you wich documents they asked you please,just to be redy for my self. Regards. I think it is all case-dependant. In mine, 2 sets requested, one to clarify my wife exercising her right to stay with 5-years continuous stay (a bit complicated since she did a PhD over 2 universit...

Hello Chirurgie, This pathetic letter about removing foreing prisoner means nothing. I received this letter about 3 or 4 times during the process. Your case will only move forward once a "case worker" has been appointed. ______________________ Act on EEA residency application delays by si...

Why not write to your MEP ?... there a whole bunch of newly elected, who should be interested to address breach of EU directives. Avoid the 2 from the BNP !! Cheers.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Malaysian citizens do not need a visa to enter the UK. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/doineedvisa/visadatvnationals No, I do not need a visa to 'visit UK' but if asked if I am working, I would have to lie and 'pretend' to be a tourist in order to do so. My old passport w...

I have a Malaysian citizenship and would normally require a visa to work here. My wife is an Irish national.

Reread it very carefully. That is true for some applications, but it is not true to applications for a Residence Card under the EU rules. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/eucitizens/applyingundereuropeanlaw/making-your-application/ How to ask us to return your passport If you have submitted your p...

Anyhow, after waiting a year now, I have to remain patient as not jeopardize application by passport withdrawal. :( Jeopardize your application? Is there something about the application that is particularly special or that you think is a problem? You have a right to travel. Requesting the passport ...

My legal reason to be staying and working full time in this country is as a "spouse of EEA National" and as such, even if I receive passport back (without permit), I will probably not be able to travel (can go abroad, returning to UK may be the problem!). Anyhow, after waiting a year now, ...

Just to add to everyone's misery here, I have applied since July 2008 and have yet to hear anything back nor any request for further information etc.

So it will be a year now soon.

Thank you for the advice about writing to your MP and all the drafts you have provided. I will indeed do the same and report on it's progress. Current status is after application back in July 2008, I have yet to hear anything back other than initial letter acknowledging receipt of passports. It will...

congrats for finally being 'free'! For me, it is now 11 months (submitted July 2008) but since I have not made any complaints, I fear there may be further delays. I am currently trying to chase it up via SOLVE IT which was suggested by someone on this forum. Tricky thing is I cannot seem to find my ...

sigh, I sent in my + spouse's original passports back when I applied in June 2008. So in couple of weeks' time, it will be 1 year since I applied. I never even realised we did not have to send original passport till it was required. My passport was not much good to me anyway as the 5-year EU spouse ...

You requested your passprot to travel? Isnt the application withdrawn when you requeste the applicants passport back? No the application is not withdrawn. Hmm, this is interesting as I thought I read somewhere that application is withdrawn if you request passport back. I have applied since July 200...
