Ladies and gentlemen, I bring GREAT news! At 9:10am this morning, my residence card arrived!! Everything arrived as it was sent inside the pre-addressed special delivery envelope I enclosed all those days ago. Happily I bring you my final timeline: American married to German national practicing trea...
Hey all, good news! Two red "Something for you" cards were waiting for us after getting home from a weekend away, one card for my wife and one for me. As we aren't expecting any deliveries and it was Special Delivery/Letter/Signature required, we can only assume it is our passports and do...

Hi all! This is my first post but I've been following you since my application started. Received my RC today. Here is the timeline: - 13/06 - Application sent to Liverpool - 09/07 - Received COA - 10/09 - Received RC - Dated 01/09 My case: Married to EEA exercising treaty rights in the UK Patience ...
Does anyone have any theories behind that 20+ day gap between the date and the arrival? Not using the prepaid envelope doesn't seem to be enough, right? It is very likely that the date listed as "processed" is the day they print the sticker and or COA. From there, it likely goes from one ...
also as family permit expires on 30th sept so cannot travel till i get the RC.... Also, in regards to your family permit expiring 30th Sept... this does not matter. You said you received your COA in July. This overrides your Family Permit and gives you right to work and travel into the UK 6 months ...

Got a package waiting for me to get picked up at the post office (too big to fit in door slot), but al...
Just an FYI... An American friend of mine (married to a Polish national) who is also in the UK applied for his EEA2 three weeks ago and received his COA less than a week later, dated 3 days after he mailed out his package. It's incredible how quickly he received it and I'll be honest, I was a bit j...

I think as a collective, we need to relax a bit and sit back and let what we cannot control happen on it's own. I can understand the frustration in seeing someone receive their RC before you after having applied for it before them, but come on, we're all aware that in extreme cases it can take up to...
Still waiting as well. My time table is in my signature. Those folks getting their RC returned within 6 weeks gives us hope for a quicker turnaround. However, most people have been receiving their RC about 90 days later, so I'd be happy if I got mine before the 2nd week of September as this is what ...
Here is our timeline: Sent: May 24 Received by UKBA: May 25 COA received: June 27 Residence card received: August 2 This was much faster than I had anticipated, well done to the staff there! Only 10 weeks! (We are a married couple). This is great news! I applied only 17 days after you. Also as a ma...
How is it that the UK government can be so careless and haphazard with our passports? It perplexes and annoys me to no end that we go through many weeks/months of meticulous planning and organizing for the EEA2. The least the government can do is have the decency to treat our important possessions w...
Hi there, Here's our timeline so far: Application received by HO - 09/06/11 (applying as married partner) COA received by 2nd class post - 14/07/11 (dated 06/07) Anyone else who has applied around the same time? Hi Scarlett, I applied one day after you. Received COA around July 9. Very likely we bo...

On average, CoA's take about 3-5 weeks to arrive. Lately most people have been receiving them about 30 days after their applications arrived at the home office. Be patient, all will be fine! :D Hi eveyone. i am not well at all since i started waiting. i have sent my application 2 weeks after it came...
It seems the current wait is 3-5 weeks for CoA (usually just about 1 month exactly) and 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 months for RC. One question though for those who included a pre-paid special return delivery envelope with their package (like me), how long did it take for everything to arrive at your home after ...
Hi all, Very excited to finally have sent off my EEA2 app w/ passports last Friday. It's been a long journey to get to this point!! Here is my current time-line going back to meeting my beautiful wife in 2008. Will update as soon as anything is heard back from the home office! 03/04/08- I meet a bea...
