Application for PR or PR card: form EEA (PR) - UpToDate

[medlence]

Can anyone that has requested their passport back - let us know if their application was delayed (received longer than the average 8 weeks?)
I requested my passport on the 17th of Feb which I received quickly (Documents submitted 27th of Jan) but still waiting on my DCPR so was wondering if requesting my passport has pushed back my application to the end of the que.
Thanks

Thanks, Stefan! Any reason you think it's taking so long in your case? Do you think your case is quite complex?

I have no idea. I got everything they needed. Working since 2006 and have the same employer since 2008, living at the same address and didn't leave the country for more than 2 weeks at the time. I don't know what's going on. Somebody said earlier maybe is requesting the documents back messing up everything and the case ends up on the bottom of the pile again.

Yeah I remember reading that requesting your documents may slow down the process

I saw that people who applied at the beginning of March started receiving responses so maybe you (and I) will get it soon. Keep us updated

I have applied at the 24 of Feb and still haven't received it. I haven't requested documents back. I think it also depends on case worker. Last week the case worker called my office in order to confirm my employment. I don't know which stage is but clearly they are investigating.
I am on 79 days now.

Takes too long but I will let you know if anything happens.

My thanks to everyone on this forum. Your contributions have been very helpful through out my application process. Much of the advice I received on this forum is what has resulted in good results. My time frame as a non-EEA family member as follows:

Application for PR made :30/6/2015
COA received with right to work : 30/7/2015

Application unsuccessful and all documents sent back: 01/12/2015
Appeal lodged : 13/12/2016

Court responds asking for grounds of appeal 26/2/2016

Ground of appeal statement sent 4/3/2016

Appeal allowed 30/3/2016

Letter from home office sent requesting for my passport : 11/4/2016

Passport sent 14/4/2016

PR received 12/05/2016 - recorded mail

Passport returned 12/05/2016 - Royal Mail signed for.


I applied as my husband was self employed. Home office stated we did not send business bank statements etc even though we sent tax returns and proof of NI and receipt.

In the appeal, we sent business bank statement from 2009 - 2015, business lease, statement of account 2010 - 2015 , more and more receipts.

For those still waiting, just be patient, get all the required documents and write a quality grounds of appeal statement.

Wish you guys the best and hope yours come through soon.

Dear all,

I sent my application for PR end of April , money taken the next day they received my application. So far no email confirmation or letter requesting biometric enrolment yet.

I am applying as a non-EEA family member. My EEA husband does not have PR, we both thought he doesn't need it. However, I read from one of the posts here that the EEA sponsor needs to have PR too before the non-EEA family member can apply for it. Or both should submit applications together. Is that true?

Regards

[softy monster]

Hi everyone how long application tak in home office thanks

Up to 6 months depends with your case, and also if u are an EEA national takes less (mim 8 weeks, max 6 months) than someone who's non-eea national (mim 4/5 months, max 6 months) as I said depends your case and of course depends your case worker too!

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if it is compulsory to fill in and submit EEA (PR) form benefit section? I received some working tax credit for a few months years ago but I neither have HMRC documents nor bank statements covering the period.Personally,I do not think it matters since old EEA3 application form, which is supposedly still accepted,does not even have this section. Confirmation would be useful and appreciated on this.Thanks

[ak2]

Hi,

When I filled in my form I wrote exactly as requested.
1.3 Full name as on my identity card including surname, first and middle name

1.4 only my surname
Payment: the full name : surname, first and middle name.

What do you mean you couldn't work for a few weeks? Were you on medical? If so, this shouldn't be an issues. You need anyway a letter from the employer for each period /job you had and as far as I know the medical leave is irrelevant.

Thank you for reply

What about adress ? in payment and in section 1 - 1.18 - can i put my name with the adress where i lived before as as i assume it will safer for the correspondence ? because next they ask if thats adress of my representative and its not, its just my relative lives there, ?

Are you applying for BC now? I thought typically people did a SAR and sent the application along with the papers they received. I may be wrong

[VinGam]

No, I cannot. I have been out around 120days in the last 12 months. I need to wait few months

Thanks, Tony2015.

I have called the Home Office to find out which date they put as starting date of my PR Status and they said HomeOffice does not record such information.
However, if I can prove I acquired PR status 12months prior the AN application then I can do it.
Now I will try through the SAR.

Ohara, in section 2A do I need to tick only "Printouts from our computerised casework database" or do I also need "Home Office files"? I am aiming to know which date my PR status starts.

Thanks

Hi,

EEA member. Resident since mid-1994, in full time employment for the duration of my stay bar the first couple of weeks, very few short absences from the UK, so would consider it a straight forward application..

I am yet to receive an email confirmation or any other response. I am within normal time limits for receiving the PR, so not too concerned about that, but it would seem most applicants on forum has received an email by this time. Should I worry about the missing email? Has anyone received their PR without receiving an email?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Timeline has been a bit unstable in the latest months due the amount of request they are receiving.
My email came on the average during that time (in February was around 20days, now it is around 30 days).
My application took 80 days. February average was 60 days though. It all depends on case worker and document you submitted.
