should i be worried? - efm april applicant

[fvfii]

hello everyone,

long story short. i have sent my eea2 (unmarried partner) application on 21st April, arrived in ukba on 22nd, payment were taken on 25th April. Received COA+ Biometric request on 26th May (dated 23rd)..
and so far I haven't heard anything back yet.
I have a trip commencing 28 Oct (which is next week). So on 6th October I have requested my passport back (and not received yet). I have used the not receive passport link yesterday though.

But on the forum, I have seen people applying in April already receiving their docs and RC... should I be worried that I haven't made a good application??
I am super super worried
Does anyone have similar experience?

You still have a month before home office have to give an answer to your application, the 6months allowance to home office start from the date of COA not from the date you submitted application, you should never book holiday before getting your RC ,special this days ,application refused for silly
Reason's ........
Hope you will get it soon ....

[soyerlife]

Like not enough evidence of treaty right even if they are more than enought or the doubt marriage is fake even if you have kids
It's all depends on the case worker who treat your file

Your earlier posts suggest that you were on a Tier 2 visa and that subsequently resigned from the job associated with the Tier 2 visa. Is that a correct summary of your situation?

Be aware that as the EFM of an EEA citizen, you have no automatic right to remain in the UK until you are issued with an RC. Also, EEA applications do not extend pre-existing leave (also known as Section 3C leave) as an application under the UK Immigration Rules would.

Therefore, if your Tier 2 visa has expired and you are still awaiting the RC and have not received it, you are technically an overstayer and this period could negatively affect any future applications under UK rules, such as any future citizenship applications.

If you were to leave the country, to the best of my knowledge, you will have no right to reenter the UK until the RC is issued. I would await further comments from other learned members of these forums before taking this further, but I would strongly advise against leaving the country without the RC.

hi Secret simon,
thank you very much for your information. But what if I can enter the country without visa (i can stay 180 days in UK without visa, as a tourist). Is it still possibile to return to the country as a tourist, then switch to RC once I receive it?

Anyways I dont really have hope on the RC.. it takes long maybe because we didnt provide evidence?

THank you very much, I appreciate your time!

Even in that case, you will have a visa, just one that is stamped on arrival.

Your immigration history will be available to the Immigration Officer at the airport/seaport that you will attempt re-entry at and it is entirely possible that s/he will refuse entry to you as a visitor because you have declared an intention (though submitting a form for a RC) to reside in the UK and are patently not a visitor.

I will leave it to others to advise you further, but I still would suggest putting off all visits abroad until you have an RC in hand.

Hi again secret.simon,

Thank you very much. Although I applied for passport repeat, so far there is no news. So probably I will just wait!

Thanks very much!

HO may well decide not to return your passport.
It may depend if you have any leave on your other visa.

If the RC is not granted you will have no basis to remain in UK once UK visa has expired.
Suggest focus on establishing your status and think about travelling later.

Hi Noajthan,

Thank you very much. just wondering what do you mean by "any leave on your other visa"?

Actually we are getting married next year, so hopefully would not be in this route!

Thank you very much again!

It appears you entered the UK as a visitor/tourist ?

When you asked for entry at the border as a visitor to the UK, you would have told the entry officer that you were visiting the UK and were staying for x weeks. What was the date that they put in your passport, that you must leave the UK by?

Or if you hold a UK visa to work or study the UK, when does that visa expire?

These are your "any leave on your other visa".

Forget that bit where I assumed you entered as a tourist as I have just read all your thread.

"any leave on your other visa" refers to your Tier 2 work visa and whether that visa has expired or been revoked by UKVI as you left your job.

If you don't have any other remaining leave/visa my understanding is you won't get your passport back.

You need to get this RC to be able to stay in UK so as to be in a position to apply to marry next year (if you plan to marry in UK).

OP has applied for EFM RC.
There is no ROR option for unmarried couples, if a couple breaks up its curtains.

And in this case OP has a lovely fiancé:
