I received the same survey. We applied on 21/2 and no RC yet. We called them 3 times in the same day we received the survey. In the first two, they refused to give any information about the case. In the last time, they took our info and said they would call back in 5 days. They called in the next day and said our application was still ongoing. To be honest, I dont believe that. I have heard several different stories that people were told the application was still there, and they received the RC dated 1 week or 2 before that. Why would they send this survey for someone who hasnt got the RC yet? I dont think this system is just random, and keep sending that to everyone after a certain period of time, regarless if the RC was issued or not.Postby Adik » Tue Aug 18, 2015 5:55 pm

Thank you for the kind reply. Actually I got COA very fast, unexpectedly! Do you have HO contact no.? If yes, please let me know I will try to enquire about Bio-metric, it's been almost 5 months and no news about it. Or as you said it was introduced on 06/04/15 and I had submitted my application before that it wasn't needed? or what?nachfee wrote:Biometric started on the 06/04/15
If you applied in March, you will get a COA days or weeks after they receive it and then you need to wait several months for a response.
Seems like the wait is minimum 4 months - 6 months. The average being 4.5 months.
You should post your timeline, it will help with records being published here and keep us updated. If you got special delivery envelope in your application, you should check with the tracking service on the Royal Mail website and see if its coming.
Just need to be patient.
We didn't use a special delivery envelope. Both RCs (EEA1 and EEA2) + supporting materials came in a small parcel that we had to sign for (we weren't home when it arrived so had to go to the Post Office to sign/pick up). I don't think it makes any difference on time.nachfee wrote:Hi Everyone,
I just called the HO just to see if maybe they can shed some light on processing times. I'm just worried that because I forgot the sent a special delivery envelope, my RC would take longer to arrive.
Does anyone have experience or have heard about people that have applied without sending a special delivery envelope?
Thank you so much Nina. Much appreciate!Nina Roche wrote:Hi Pardeep, it seems people applied EEA2 before April does not need to enrol biometrics. But if you want to double check, you can write to EuroBiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.ukpardeep9020 wrote:

I'm not active her but since the forum has helped me, I just wanted to give feedback too. I had a random home visit on Tuesday. They found my housemate home at 8am as we had left for work. We aren't sure what the outcome will be but according to the chat they had, it sounded positive. As we are living with her. I don't know if it affects out chances because we weren't home or that our pictures weren't displayed in the house because we keep them in a photo album.
Anyway, time will tell. My time line 6/1/15, coa 19/1/15 rc- pending.
I pray to Allah it goes well. Any jan or dec people still waiting?

And also try calling is just a waste of time. You wont get any relevant info anyway... They also told us to call again after 2 weeks from the 6 months time.
Hi Nina, i withdrew the application because i received COA with no right to work, reason was that i didnt provide sufficient evidence of my wife exercising her treatie rights and that the will not reconsider my COA again. and yeah i didnt provide payslips in my first application because my wife barely started work and had no payslip at hand when i applied.Nina Roche wrote:Hi Kristo, may I ask why you withdrew application?kristo wrote:

I think we could start a August group.
I believe the biometrics are not applicable to us, so I wouldnt worry. Maybe you can give them a call and you can check and will give you peace of mind.pardeep9020 wrote:Thank you for the kind reply.

Thank you once again for the reply. Much appreciate!

Thank you so much for the reply. I had sent few emails yesterday so will wait for few days and then call. I see few people who applied in March, 2015, have gotten their RC, making me even nervous! Hope everything goes well and we all get RC!nachfee wrote:I believe the biometrics are not applicable to us, so I wouldnt worry.

Get home visit on 27 July .officers told me I will get reply within 2-3 weeks Bt still don't have anything update.even my 6 month finished
I think they are visiting house randomly because nobody did not came to my house either and my COA date is 20th of March and still pending RCpardeep9020 wrote:WTH, I tried to call HO and they didn't even let me through! Automatic messaging thing said you can't talk as your application is still within the service standard i.e. 6 months period. I had made application in March so it is within 6 months period but can't we even contact them for information! It is ridiculous!
I have one more question - when does people get home visit from officer, under what circumstances? I don't think anyone came to our home in last 5 months for anything related to RC.
