My partner has just phoned to say that there is a 'Missed Delivery Notice' at home & on the notice it says it's a 'Special Delivery Dry Letter'. I am also waiting on some fesitval tickets....so am crossing my fingers it;s my RC!!!!!!

Tier 5 2 year working holiday visa runs out at the end of this month. Sent in EEA2 application in Jan, received COA in FEB...

And I plan to be away when my visa expires.

Nope we have been together 8 years - so defacto.

Jan 6th - sent to HO Jan 9th - HO received Jan 26th - Application sent back asking for more info Jan 30th - Sent back...
