we have sent email and a letter to HO for her passport to be returned. but we have not heard anything yet.

I called HO today and they told me same old story, my application has not been validated. What does it mean when HO says your application has not been validated . does that mean that they need a second opinion by a senior staff to look at your applicatio. I dont undertsand why application made on 17...

I faxed a request to the same number given by them. But they have not got back to me. It has been 3 days so far. I emailed them the same but no response at all. I call them everyday, and it is a same answer "It has not been validated yet and therefore you HAVE to wait!!" They are called a...

am thinking, since she is eea national and her application has been more than two months old, they may consider issueing her PR and probably remember to send my CoA, when she request for her passport to be returned. I would have hoped that her application could have been dealt with within a month i...

so do you think asking for my wife's passport will not be a good idea? I'm not sure if it will make any difference to be honest. am thinking, since she is eea national and her application has been more than two months old, they may consider issueing her PR and probably remember to send my CoA, when...

I would continue down the complaint route if I were you. Just keep at them. Don't take no for an answer. EUsmileWEallsmile, the problem is that, there has been no progress, the HO are not moved, they are not even borthered when you tell them you will loose your job. this guys are programmed, they k...

Did your wife ask about her application or your application? The 6 months is only relevant to the non EEA national. The regulations require the HO to issue the EEA national the PR confirmation ASAP (the legislation actually uses that term). Asking for her passport back might trigger the issue of th...

They changed the coa procedure? I wonder what this "validation" is all about. (I am waiting for coa too. UKBA received our eea1+eea2 on april 23 and I was hoping to receive coa in the second half of may.) I called HO this morning and the lady I spoke to said "we have your application...

Guys (Jambo and EUsmileWEallsmile), is been more than two months now i have not received my CoA, my wife called HO about it on Monday last week and the lady on the phone was so rude to her and even told her not to call untill after 6 months, I also called them yesterday the story was not different, ...

Yes assuming that "obtain PR" you mean obtain the PR confirmation vignette in the passport (the status itself is obtained automatically). With the PR sticker there is no need to provide any EEA related evidence if applying 12 months after the sticker date. Yes, I mean having the PR sticke...

OK THANKS JAMBO YOU MEAN WHEN I GET PR i have to wait 12 months from that date pr issued and then apply to BC or 5+1 ? Both options are possible. If you wait 12 months from PR date, you don't need to send evidence of the EEA national exercising treaty rights. The PR sticker is the evidence. If you ...

I recieved the passports today however a letter was included stating that we would need to obtain another Family permit if my wife wished to return to the u...

that was exactly what I did in my application too, I arranged every docs accordingly and put them in different files, explaining what each document is for.

Wish you all the best

Do you mean you PR? That was very fast, I applied on the 19th of March, no CoA yet. Though mine was Eea3 and eea4 application.

Congratulations!

All you have to do is go to the French or the Spanish embassy, there you should see a man wearing a uniform. You need to ask this man for directions and a map to find a hidden cave of wonders. Inside a cave there is a well. Climb down the well, you will see a passage. Walk down the passage you will...

I never knew ordinary post office receipt could do the magic. but why is it that so many people in this forun didn't know this about post office receipt as evidence of application? This would probably only work in certain cases (mainly when "extending" an existing status). It will not wor...

Good to hear that it all worked out. Based on other people timelines, you would probably get the CoA in 2 weeks and the PR in 2 months. Also, once your spouse gets the PR, you can relax as it would mean you should also get the PR. I have cross the first huddle, atleast I will wait for my PR with ea...

Thank God I followed the advice of EUsmileWEallsmile and Jambo, who encouraged me to asked my employer to call HO. (Impossible.....means I'm possible)... Jambo remember? it worked. today, I received email from the HR saying by Thursday, this week, I will be unable to have assess to any of my company...
