Hi everyone, i'm attending the interview soon and was wondering if anyone has been there by car and knows if there is a parking and if it's free or not many thanks.

Hi I just received my Residence Card today and decided I'd post my timeline because it was quicker than I thought. The timeframe is potentially now only 1 month turn around as in my case.

9 May: Sent off Application
19 May: Received Certificate of Application
11 June: Received Residence Document in passport

I sent my application express mail and put a return self addressed express return envelope. I'm married to an EU National.

Good Luck to everyone! I know how anxious the wait can be!

Hi all my story is very odd and will have some follow up, if I had I chance will post that too :

Application sent : 21/12/2013
Acknowledgment letter : 31/12/2013

Never had COA until I asked for one by email

COA ( without right to work ) : 28/2/2014

COA ( with right to work ) : 11/3/2014

Invitation to interview : 17/4/2014
Interview done : 22/5/2014

Asked for my passport return and home office admitted they can't locate my passport and they will search for it !!


RC issued : 11/6/2014

I have been notified by email that I will receive the RC in ISD and home office will tell me what will happen regarding my missing passport !!

It's very complicated story has any one from the senior members had such issue ?
What happens usually when home office lose passports ?!

Any way let's look to the bright side any one can give me advise regarding this issue

Cheers

Hi Chelseaman89

How did you go from COA 'without right to work' to 'with right to work'? Thanks,

Stolen and Lost passports have always been an issue, however, to be on the safe side you may check with your local police station. Reporting a lost passport to police is often a mandatory requirement to get the replacement from your embassy/consulate. You must also contact your embassy/consulate about this situation, as they are the ones who are going to issue you a new one, if it is really lost.

Thanks for your Attention..

Hi all ,
Just got RC by post today , the home office included letter I guess came by mistake , it's check list for some reasons of refusal or all least suspicion and I knew from it why I was interviewed !
Reasons are :
1- London issues passport dated shortly befor or since marrige and no evidence of any previous immigration history .
2 - child born shortly before / during marrige EEA national and Spouse not the parent.
3- CRS check shows the applicant had a different spouse at the time visa was issued has declared themselves " single " on marrige cert.
4- bank statement shaws large unexplained payment ( 3000-10000) into EEA sponsor bank account near to the date of the marrige including installment
5- applicant immigration history includes history or deception.
6- the applicant has previously been married to someone else and not produced evidence of divorce .
7- the marrige is bigamous
8- there are clear and substantial reasons to doubt the validity of the documentary evidence produced including photoshopee photographs
9- applicant Married at a church / venue recorded I. Euro caseworker database
10- EEA sponsor is slef employed or became self employed following refusal of treaty rights
11- applicant representative are noted on euro caseworker database
12- EEA identity are submitted instead of passport
13- the marrige took place in another EU state member
14 applicant has poor immigration history that exclude deception I.e compliance
15 plausibly in question e.g large age difference , cultural difference
16- The EEA sponser comenced emoloyement shortly after marrige.

That's what I found . I had so much help from this website and I thought that's something in return as guide for others

Cheers

Been through Interview today, Around 1 hour for my wife and 45 minutes with me, As far as I know there are 2 questions that didn't match as we discussed it later, What do you think this would make a difference?
They asked each and every type of question, from how we met and how did we propose etc...
about House, our life, job, colleagues, Questions within questions.
So far it's good, but as told earlier 2 questions missed,
Fingers Crossed

Then I asked what about the request which I made 10 working days ago for the return of my documents and I been told it can take upto 20 working days.

Not sure how long would it be but it's clearly in the final stages which I believe from the previous posts I have read on here, a decision should be made in no longer then a week time so you should expect a decision anytime within next few days, also the passport return time is 20 working days for non Eea and 10 working days for Eea members, in my case it took more then 10 working days for them to return my wife (Eea citizen) passport, all they said on the phone was that they are sorry and that they don't know why it's not been sent without 10 days time, hope that helps

Thanks for your reply pal.
Lets hope for the best and may be u have any idea what the decision can be? Because they taking too long for the decision? Well I hope it should be okay. Or may be they are trying to locate where my passport is because I have been detained once before by ukba enforcement team and I handed over my passport to them in manchester!

If no letter came with your RC then it means that in the eye of HO EU translation you are not eligible for PR and HO stand on the refusal decision.
But this is a good news that you got your right to stay in the UK rather then EEA4 costly and useless appeal.
