Great news!kalisa85 wrote:Thank you all for posting, as this community helped us a lot.
Now our story:
Married 6 years, child 5 years old in education in UK.
Sponsor national of Eastern Europe full time employed (in UK less than a year)
Applicant national of Russia (very popular nation nowadays) had a RC in Eastern Europe for 6 years before coming to UK.
We did arrange a joint bank account and tenancy contract in both of our names before applying.
Application had only documents required, no extras. So only about sponsor and applicant, but in Cover letter we did mention the child and which school he goes to. So the case worker could check if they wanted.
We did apply for EEA2 only (saw no reason spending extra 100£ for 2 more EEA's when it is not clear if the EEA2 would be issued or not)
EEA 2 application received by HO 20th Oct
CoA with RTW dated 3rd NOV
Reported Change of address through on-line system (they got the address wrong, and we received CoA by luck, God bless the postman)
Reported change of circumstance some time END of November via phone (Sponsor obtained NI number)
Called for status update on 20th of Jan, were told - under consideration, though the lady on the phone mentioned - if you do not hear from us in next 3 weeks time, give a call back, which gave us an indication, that it is close to being issued.
RC document received 23th January (dated 16th Jan) 5 years with right to work
Good Luck everyone, we were very nervous, but all ended up good.
0300 123 2253 this number and you would need to choose options few times, and then wait. First time I called to report change of circumstance I waited for 18 minutes, next time it was less than a minute.claudine wrote: Great news!
By d way, what number did u use to call the home office?
I will probably call by next week. Thanks
Hi and congrats on obtaining your RC. I have just 2 simple questions, does the RC come as a card or a vignette in your passport. And secondly, does the RC show a Stamp no: 4 EUFAM?kalisa85 wrote:Thank you all for posting, as this community helped us a lot.

Hi, you can just send another pack with some other documents which might be relevant, by adding the reference number from the acknowledgment letter . It will go straight to file as additional documents.jojoedel wrote:Hello
I have been following for a while now...
just wanted a little advice
Husband came here on his family permit 11/12/14
applied for his residence card on the 13/1/15
they received it on the 14/1/15
Money taken from my account 15/1/15
letter of acknowledgment 16/1/15
waiting for the COA as my husband has a job and we want to give it to his employers
I am Irish resident in the UK since 2004
I am employed full time
When sending for the RC I never supplied any of the evidence I did for the FP just what it said on the uk.gov website
was this an error?
Documents I submitted
EEA2 application form
certified translation of marriage certificate + original
4 pay slips
Letter from my employer stating I work full time with them since 2012
2 passports ( mine + my husbands)
2 passport size photos.
I have a letter from the council tax with his name on it but I never included it!! now i'm feeling worried as the COA has not yet arrived.
I sent an email to them saying I forget put that letter in...
do we think the going to ask me for them at a later date? I thought all those documents would be recorded with the FP???
Help!

coa should be 20 days after i hope soon
Hve u tried calling their landline? No update of mine too, applied oct 16. I think they propritize those applications from eu nationalchnn wrote:I applied in July 2014. No updae except COA. Wrote 2 letters to liverpool but they did not bother to reply.
There are no applications from eu nationals. All eea2 are from non eu. What some couples do, at the time of the appplication they submit application for eu partner, just to confirm right to work of them. They are called registration certificates. So they issue these together, registration certificate for eu partner and residence card for non eu partner.claudine wrote:Hve u tried calling their landline? No update of mine too, applied oct 16.

Yes. I have called them 4-5 times and they have always said your application is still under process.claudine wrote:Hve u tried calling their landline? No update of mine too, applied oct 16.

I guess its all about luck who is working on your case, it is also the complexity of each case and so on. They Have 6 months to do it .
