Hi Teerak, I already add you in, look up!

[Ioana27]

I am very very very happy to announce that we FINALLY got our EEA QP and EEA FM RCs today. They were dated 22 July. How is that even possible?
Well, just as I expected, it turns out they have not received our change of address 2 and a half months ago as we informed them via post instead of using the online form and only about 2 weeks ago we found out that we should have done it online. So they sent the package initially to our former address and when it bounced back it was probably around the time they received our online change of address 2 weeks ago and re-sent it. There was a package inside the package stating the old address. They have also returned in a separate envelope the 2 letters I wrote to them in desperation 2 weeks ago after someone from the call centre confused me telling I sent everything to the wrong address preciously even though it was the same fricking PO BOX 306!!!
It's a good thing they didn't do any home visits or sent any interview invitations to our former address. They also have not sent back my (EEA applicant) work contract as I have informed them I changed my job around 2 months back. I know they have received it though because someone called me to confirm it after I contacted the call centre.
Anyway, maybe the request for survey was not random after all, and as someone suggested previously it is sent to people who already had a decision on their case. I strongly hope it´s a positive one for everyone! I am grateful for all the support I found in this forum, refreshing the page every 2 minutes has been a big part of our lives the past few months. Good luck to everyone!!!

[fernandopeleias]

We have just received our documents back. and it was refused because the EEA family member (me) has failed to provide evience that they are a qualified person. The reason : We have not provided evidence that the EEA family member holds comprehensive sickness insureance in the United Kingdom. The policy provided was not the original and there was no evidence that the policy was paid. WHAT?? We bought this insurance in brazil, and they do not provide any hard copy of the policy. We sent them a copy of the email (all in english), stating that the policy was valid for 1 year, the cost of that, and the policy number with the phone and email of the company who sold the policy should they wish to contact. How come they, if in doubt, cannot make a call to confirm the validity of the policy? Thats really unbeliavable..

They gave us the right to appeal, but I am no familiar with this procedure and to be honest, and dont really know if I want to go through all this nightmare again...

Has anyone heard any case like that?

Thanks

Has anyone traveled within EU with just their spouse, their RC and their marriage certificate? Does the non-EU family member need any other visa, for Greece in particular, if anyone knows?

Thanks

[lyztge]

Could someone comment on the time it takes for an employer to get a response from the Home Office Employer Checking Service? Thanks

5 days is the standard.

Thanks aurora77, it did indeed take 5 working days.

[lyztge]

Has anyone traveled within EU with just their spouse, their RC and their marriage certificate? Does the non-EU family member need any other visa, for Greece in particular, if anyone knows?

Thanks

RC issued in the UK should be fine for Germany and Holland, according to the information I read on the embassy website. Check out the Greek embassy website?

[lyztge]

Well, just as I expected, it turns out they have not received our change of address 2 and a half months ago as we informed them via post instead of using the online form and only about 2 weeks ago we found out that we should have done it online.

They have also returned in a separate envelope the 2 letters I wrote to them in desperation 2 weeks ago after someone from the call centre confused me telling I sent everything to the wrong address preciously even though it was the same fricking PO BOX 306!!!

Thanks Ioana27! So to summarize, during the time RC is pending, one should inform them the following way:?

1. Address: both online and written to address
2. Job change, etc al. written to address

UK Visas and Immigration
Permanent Migration
PO Box 306
Liverpool
L2 0QN

Please anyone corrects this or adds more information on this, thanks!

[lyztge]

Hello everyone!

Has anyone requested passports/documents back recently?
I was wondering how long they are taking to send documents back (if more or less than the promised 10 working days)

Thanks!

requested: August 8th
delivered: August 15th

[lyztge]

I think if you keep clicking during the appointment booking and select your application type, you would see the charge is only 65 in the end. That is what we did early last month at least.......

Thanks lyztge! If this time they mess up again, I'll use this service. Plus, how close you would be able to make earliest appointment when you went online to book last ?

I think it was roughly one month at Cryodon..., not so fast indeed, but you got to talk to them in person.

[JayonCee]

Hello guyz, first I have to apologize cos I haven't been posting. The reason is that I forgot my logging and couldn't find it anywhere and I was too frustrated to make new. Now incase you are tracking your docs everyday you might be surprised to receive them in a different enevelope of a different tracking #.

HO sent all my docs today in a different "Signed for envelope" but I had sent in 2 special delivery envelopes with our applications (EEA1 & EEA2). So am gonna share my timeline below for you:


Application sent: 25.03
Received in HO: 26.03
Payment deduction: 28.03
CO with right to work: 31.03 Received on 03.04.
RC issued for EEA1 & EEA2: 16.08
EEA Citizen spouse 8 years Marriage
Permanent resident Card (10 Years validity) holder in EU state.
Applied after my 7th EEA Family permit.

If you are still waiting, just be patient. Remember it's 6 months officially. I wish you the very best of luck!!!

[hsahyouni]

I'm really sorry to hear that! What the hell is that insurance all about? We still haven't heard anything from them. Maybe try to contact SOLVIT and ask for advice before appealing... Best of Luck!

The change of address via online is updated after 72 hrs. So I guess it's more convenient.

I'm actually about to post a letter stating change of employment by my EEA husband and I will include his new contract, and newly printed employment page from the EEA QP & FM form just to be sure and maybe his new payslip. They didn't say this is required for the update but I thought its better to over do it than sorry. Btw, address is:
