Permanent Residence Card - Processing Time 2017

[citizzzen]

Hello @Beinghuman1986 !
Many Congratulations!!! to you. Finally You have received and hopefully you will enjoy your new job in NHS.
I can see you applied on 30/09/2016 and and received by HO 03/10/16 my case bit further; As i have applied on 15th; it is clear form yours time line that I will have to wait another 2 weeks.

What can I do else.

Hey buddy, thank you.
GOOD NEWS!! I got the letter confirming PR an hour ago in the post with all my other documents.! and the Biometirc card will follow in the post in 10 working days it says! I am so relieved!

I would say, Just call them atleast twice a week, and wait a bit. I think HO are sticking to their timeline of 6.5 months for NON-EU PR applications. Mine took exactly 6 months and a half. And also if the passports haven't come in the first request, fill up another request and send it, it seems that speeds up the process too.

I wish good luck to everybody here!

Hey Beinghuman1986,

Thanks for sharing your experience and congratulations with getting a PR. Would you mind please to share the form or a page where you have submitted the kind of 'speed-up request'. Many thanks in advance!

Hi! This is our timeline:
NON EU Wife and EU Husband
Application submitted : November 15,2016
Money taken: November 16, 2016
Biometric letter for NON EU WIFE: last week of November ( forgot the date )
Biometric submitted: 2 days after
COA: received December 3, 2016
BRP received: April 19, 2017 ( Supposed to be deliver 13 April - but I was at work and DX courier left a card in the house, asking to re schedule the delivery, and it was holy week last week ( bank holiday) so its only TODAY they deliver my BRP
Place and date of ISSUE on my BRP Card : UK 10/4/2017

so all in all.. almost 5 months of waiting ( from the time home office deducted the money- to the issued date written in my BRP card ( 10/4/2017 ) and Valid until 2027

My husband who is EU national- still waiting for his BRP ( surprisingly I got my BRP first than him ) Also, I havent received yet my documents and passport. Hoping to receivd them soon.

Question*** Does BRP normally comes first? then followed by returning all the documents? How long do I have to wait to get all my documents back?

Appreciate all your answers! Thank you and have a lovely day

Yes we are in same situation
If
I get later I will update you here

If you get later or email
please update me here

Thanks

[manntodd]

I see that there are a lot more non EEA matters discussed here than EEA. This of course is because the partner of an EEA is applying. But I am confused. Like one Indian national writes that he is applying under EEA. I dont understand how that is possible.
Just curious. Nothing adverse should be taken.

[Pina123]

Perhaps because they've retained the right after living many years as an eea equivalent/with their eea significant other.

Just want to share our timeline:

Joint EEA-PR application: wife non-EU, husband from EU
Application Sent - 18 Nov 2016
Received - 21 Nov 2016
Fee taken - 23 Nov 2016
Confirmation email - 6 Dec 2016
Biometric letter - 9 Dec 2016
Biometric done - 9 Dec 2016
CoA received - 11 Jan 2017
Husband's PR sticker received together with all submitted documents returned - 19 April 17
Wife (non-EU)'s PR card received - 20 April 17

So in total - 5 months. The timeline is similar to the Resident permit I applied before. Our case is quite straight forward. We have a couple of friends who are single EU nationals, their applications seemed to be a bit quicker, like 3-4 months time.

This is my timeline for a non eea national who has retained right after divorce.

Biometric letter: 11/11/2016

Hi all,

Just wanted to share our timeline;

Just a bit of background, my EU wife worked part-time for first couple of years and also had 3 periods of maternity leave.

It has taken just over 5 and ahalf months.

According to the PR letters my wife and I acquired PR at different dates (actually 6 months apart).

Thanks to mods and all that share their stories and experincies.

Good luck to all that are still waiting.
