I applied EEA FM MARRIED RC on 24/02/2016.
I haven't received my biometric letter yet, so i was wondering what's the average days wait and receive it?
And what's the bank statement when the fee taken? Is it euro £65?
How will you know if your application is invalid because you made mistake on your payment page?

Looks like my payment is taken after one week.
I had Euro £65 on my bank statement so i wasn't for sure and hoping it's fee for eea2 fm.
My husband and i were worried and confused because no biometric letter was sent.
I'll call or email next week if i don't receive anything by end of this week.

We can't request the passport back before receiving the COA?? Cause I did it and didn't received the passport back!!!alex1128 wrote:The COA does not cancel your current visa !
We have had people in this forum with a similar situation, After your receive your COA you can request online your passport and visa back and you can even travel with them until it expires!
We have requested the passports back, but we are worried that we could be refused entry on a tourist visa if they see that RC application is submitted (they could say you intend to stay so can't enter on a tourist visa). Have anybody travelled as tourist whilst applying for RC - please help! Thank you!parparcita wrote:alex1128 wrote:The COA does not cancel your current visa !

punkurz wrote:Hi everyone,
A little help as I am freaking out. I am an EEA National with residency permit here. My husband, who is American, submitted his application October 13th. His passport is expiring in June so we asked for it back 10 days ago so we can start the renewal process. Today we got a letter saying that the return was denied because he "currently has no basis of stay in UK" and that his "basis of stay in the UK depends on the conclusion of your application for a residence card." It does also say that he may "wait for the application to be decided and if successful your documents will be returned to you." But then it has all this information about flying home and voluntarily departure, etc. It is really freaking me out.
Should I be worried? Does this mean he will be deported? It seems like we are in the home stretch for the residency card, hitting 5 months in a couple of weeks. Since the COA, this is the first communication I've had. Also, this means that his passport will be 2 months from complete expiration when returned, if returned.
Anyway, anybody have experience with this letter? Any advice would help and I sure hope October's start getting their RC's.
Congrats !! You're one the lucky here !Mariashtelle wrote:Hey guys,

Less than 5 months!!! I guess we've been lucky and got our residence card fast. But also decision have been made 2 weeks after we requested our passports. So I guess it also helped our case
And wish good luck and patience to everyone who is waiting

Could you share a bit more about your case ? Did you apply as married/unmarried couple ? Where are you from ?
I'm gonna start my fourth month in a couple of days, I wish it could be that quick for me too !!

hello ABS566Abs566 wrote:Hi,
I have been following this thread for 3-4 months now. I did post a reply few weeks ago whether I should request my documents back or not. Would it effect my application etc. Did get a good response so I requested my passports back from HO along with my non EEA parents.
Its been over 20 working days since I requested the documents back. After 10 working days I was advised to fill a progress request form which I did and waited another 10 working days. No response via email or phone or any sign of passports.
Whenever I ring HO they advise me to wait and they cannot track by reference numbers given at time of application ROD:******* to find out whether our passports have left home office or not.
I am worried as to whether my passports have been lost or further how long they will take to get the documents out. HO call center is offers no answers they just advise you to wait. I would like someone who has been through this to advise me what they did to get there passports back so I can either ring that number or email a relevant department to get some sort of an answer.
Please help!

Asci, I see that smb already gave you the link to request passport. I used the same link and I requested my passports bcs I was also following other thread (it's closed now but there is still a lot of useful info) and I noticed that people who requested passports closer to the end of 5-6 months wait, they got their RC in 2-4 weeks after requesting passports.ascio wrote:Mariashtelle wrote:Hey guys,

Hi Mariashtelle,
Congratulations. One less for prolonging RC wait. I applied for EEA RC as married couple (I am the non EEA citizen) on late January (28.01.2016 / HO received next day) and received my Biometric enrolment and CoA letters on respectively 17.02.2016 and 09.03.2016.
My question is what exactly do you mean by "we requested our passports". How (by email or post) and for what purpose you did that, could you please explain? Funny or ignorantly I didn't know it takes that much time to receive and when I'm counting 6 months from the day I apply I'm facing with the possibility that I might not attend my own wedding ceremony (it's just celebration) as it will be outside UK beginning of the summer. Event hough I'm not very hopeful I'd like to take my chance to contact HO to declare my situation but literally don't know and how.
I'd be appreciated if you share your experience with me.
Thanks in Advance,
Asci
