Hi, Big thanks to everyone who has offered advice to me and to all the posters whose feedback I've been following. It's helped immensely, with the process and my nerves. FINALLY received passports + RC. Took about 5 months and 2 weeks. Application made/received : May 23rd 2012 Called for COA in July...

Not sure if I have a receipt. but I did include a special delivery SAE. will check through my wallet, etc. yeah, that had me laughing hard about the email alert idea - It really would save them a lot o...

no worries! Thanks for replying

Hi DennisB I believe there is nothing you can do but wait until the 6 month period is over. And i hope you will get the RC and your passports before November. But the last date of the 6 month period would be 23rd November. I believe then only you can make complain against them in the European Compl...

Hi everyone, I've enjoyed, if that's the word, following your progress. My wife is still waiting for her RC and both our passports, since sending our application almost 5 months ago. surinder singh case. Here is our timeline, thus far: Applied 23rd May (arrived shortly after) Received COA end of Au...

Ok, got it.

0300 222 0000

Ok, I can't find this number now, I'm sorry. I'll probably try to call again.

Does anyone else have any advice on this please?

Thank you catnap2012. Yes, they said the same thing about not telling me the status for 6 months. Which is SO frustrating. But that's really worrying about your COA, what if they've stopped sending them. Surely they can't do that anyway?! AND it look a while getting to you. A friend has suggested of...

Sorry. I can't find this number now, but I'll post it up tomorrow.

Hi, I can't find any other topics that seem to directly answer this question, so I hope you don't mind me creating a new topic. My wife posted her application for an EEA2 residence card a few weeks ago. Now her Family permit has expired. I'm still working, so her right to reside and work is in tact,...

That was very interesting. Thank you.

wow! that's handy. Impressed! (by this google webcache)

Thanks guys. That's good to know. Unfortunately that last link for the freemovement site doesn't seem to work anymore. If you have time, do you have another link, or can you remember the gist of it, please?

Kind regards,

Oliver

Ok, little update.. a worrying one. Still finishing putting together residence card apllication (EEA2). My wife's CRB checks cleared for her to work for a particular employer but they were concerned that her FP had expired and apparently they called the UKBA (I'm not sure how as the only numbers I f...

Thank you!

Thank you. I know what you mean. I just hear so many stories about people not having evidence of this and that, and getting rejected. Thanks for your help.

Brilliant. I mean, that sounds like common sense, dosen't it?

Guys,

Appreciate your help so far. So if I send my wife's Spanish Residence card (which also has my name and our old Spanish address on it). And my Residence 'Scroll'. Do you think I'll need get them translated too?

Thanks again.

Thank you

My wife has her Spanish Residence Card, still. And I have a green piece of paper confirming my residence in Spain and incuding my ID number (NIE) - in other words, what EU citizens get given in Spain now instead of a residence card. Both include our ID numbers (NIEs). Is this what you mean? Thank y...

Thank you. I wasn't asking about that, but I was a little concerned, as you may have picked up in my initial post! So that is reassuring too. Thank you.

I would suggest that what you used to apply for family permit will suffice for residence card. For the FP, at the last minute I realised the wanted this 'record of work, tax contributions and unemployment benefits received' that the state supplies. Though I think there wasn't much time, my employer...
