Hi Lolo Good luck with round 2! I think the letter is generally fine. If you haven't done so in the body of the application, it might useful to group the documents under headings just to really help them tick the boxes eg. "Documents to show we were living at [address] during the period [dates]...

Woow that is impressive! is it because your employer rang them to enquirer about it? I am happy for you and att he same time jealous! lol Did you apply as married? do you have kids? how long have you been married for before you sent off your application and what is your nationality?? sorry for all ...

Hi everyone, I'm really sorry to hear that some of your applications are taking so long, and I hope my news gives you hope rather than makes you more frustrated... I received my RC today!! My final timeline is: Application dated: 28 Feb 2012 Application received by HO: 29 Feb 2012 COA received: 30 M...

Flashware- I used special delivery. Special delivery is guaranteed next day delivery, and I believe it has higher compensation rates in case of loss, damage etc. My update is that my employer contacted UKBA on my behalf, was told that a decision has been made on my application and that I should be n...

Thanks Jambo. The key info I wanted to know was that you can't apply for EEA2 outside of UK. This is what I thought but couldn't find any authority on this. I am not in fact a visa national and have never applied for a FP. The person who made the suggestion is a lawyer, though it was discussed in pa...

Hi everyone, I am having a bit of difficulty finding a definite answer to this. It has been suggested to me that if I have not received my RC within 3-4 months, that I go back to my home country and re-apply through the embassy. Is it possible to do that for EEA applications and is it actually any f...

Hi, I am nowhere near the 6 month mark, but my employer has been asking questions about my current visa which expires August. I only sent my EEA2 application in at the end of Feb, so if HO actually takes 6 months (or longer as they seem to be doing with some applications) - what happens then? Is it ...

Hi, I recommend checking out some of the other boards on this site for info on EEA2 applications. Also, not sure what visa you are on currently but note that as an unmarried partner, you will not get the right to work while they are processing your application, so your current visa needs to be valid...

Hi lolo It really does seem like whoever looked through your file didn't do a very good job. It sounds like you have included all the right documents, I was wondering how you ordered your folder eg. did you have a table of contents, did you indicate what each piece of paper was providing evidence fo...

Hi Lolo I would also be interested to read the exact wording of the letter. I submitted my application in as an unmarried partner (delivered to HO on 29 Feb), enclosing most of the same documents as you, but I also sent in the following: - a timeline of our relationship (key dates, holidays etc.) - ...

Hi isw_london, so did you apply through a solicitor? if yes,,did you agree that your solicitor should get your posts on behalf you? My solicitor has applied for me, so I don't know she will get it or me,,,as the COA is already despatched. Hi spike, sorry can't help you there. I applied myself, so t...

Quick update: I got my COA at home address (even though I put work as the correspondence address). Here's my timeline thus far: Application dated: 28 Feb 2012 Received by HO: 29 Feb 2012 Received COA: 30 Mar 2012 (dated 28th) No right to work though apparently because I am applying as unmarried part...

Hi spike, hi aluter - thanks for your responses.

I took spike's advice and emailed UKBA a couple of hours ago. I just received a response saying that according to their records, my COA has been despatched, yay! I guess I will receive it sometime next week, will confirm my timeline when it arrives.

Hi everyone! It's great to hear about your experience with the process! I sent my EEA2 application as unmarried partner in on 28 Feb, it arrived 29 Feb. No COA yet, am getting nervous. What number are you using to get your updates? I called a number today, but it was all automated and said that they...
