EEA2 Application Timelines - ONLY 1 TOPIC - UpToDate

[rajib4u]

Hi all, I found a really cheap ticket to have a week trip to my home country (and i really need one feeling so homesick these days), I secured the same price for 12 days which will expire on 6th June so have to buy the actual tickets by that day. Do you guys think that I will be able to get my RC till then (applied on 28 Jan) ? Or if not my travel date will be 8th July do you think I should risk my money and buy the tickets and wait until beginning of the July ? I know that it is a bit silly question to ask but just wanted to get some opinions..

Hi belegruth I have applied just after 7 days of urs.. could you please let me know when you receive yours that would be so appropriated thanks

Hi Any updates from October, November applications? Sebi125, vinb5, sheik728????

[Czdude]

Submitted EEA1 and EEA2 17 March, acknowledgement 19 March, COA 24 March

No RC under EEA2 or EEA1 yet; the EEA1 is nearly 70 days past due based on UK/EU law of the registration certificate to be issued "immediately".

Hi all,

Will share story so far.
Australian national, on tier 5 2 year working visa (Expired 27/03). Partner is Irish and we are Unmarried.
Applied 15 January
COA (With NO Right to Work) Received - due to not being married, more investigation required to verify relationship etc.

Since then no word. However I have returned to Australia to visit my family. I can't find any information if this affects the EEA2, what if the ROR arrives while I am away from the UK?! And do I simply present the COA when returning to the UK?
Thanks everyone!

[Czdude]

I've wondered that too - if you are away for a few weeks and get word from the HO about your RC during that time (e.g., please send your passport to get it placed inside), how would that work exactly? I'll go away in July for about a month and worried about this a little bit.

[c_eire]

Yes it's quite worrying! There was no problem getting passports back, they arrived within a week. But there was nothing attached to indicate what happens on return to the UK and if the ROR arrives etc.

[Czdude]

Presenting the COA plus proof of relationship (marriage certificate if married, not sure if unmarried) at the border works. I did that a couple weeks ago and received a new code 1A in the passport.

I'd be very curious what happens if one received a rejection or request for more information while away; typically that would be via post not email? Or if the residence card is sitting in the mail on A4 on the floor while away? Any experiences?

Hi
seriously 8 months.you have so much patience but I think they kept your file in museum.
call them and track your file status.
They are supposed let you know anything by 6 months.
If they take more than 6 months.they need to update and give you reason.
So call them.it's your right don't be scared.

Hello Everyone!
Does anyone know how long it takes to request passport and if it's worth it?

My application is within another two people (my parents) and I really need to go traveling for a week. Is it worth the hassle in terms of jeopardising your application? Do I have to apply again if I request my passport?

I just cant wait until October (my application was sent in April)

Also, if you requested back, do you need to send your passport later to them so they can stamp it with the residence permit? (I applied before the 6th so it is still the old version - no biometric)

Sent on 2nd of April
recieved 06 of April
COA 23 April

Let me know please
Thanks in advance

I have a suspicion that the introduction on 2 new forms an biometrics could delay this year applications.... I suppose I'm going to miss my best friend surprise birthday party next Saturday so, so pissed off!!!

Yes, that's really annoying! In any case, you will receive the RC earlier than me, hope there is a miracle knocking at our door this Friday!

By the way, I am using Royal Mail special delivery service. They said I could track my returned evolope which would be sent out by HO online, of course, I check it online everyday, and everyday is "Sorry, please come back later!" Today is the same!

So Elainezong, i (through my solicitor) sent my documents with special delivery, with the same tracking number can i see if they sent it out from HO? and inna.p i have deadline to 6th June to buy tickets for my trip to home country on 8th July and i will probably risk the money and will buy it..Hope by then we will all get it and i won't miss my chance to go back after a long time and waste my money...
