Hi

Applied for EEA-PR for myself (non EEA partner / spouse of British citizen) and 9 years old son under Surrinder Singh route on the completion of 5 years though the residence cards are still valid till Jan 2018.

Please share your experience if anyone applied under Surrinder Singh route or anyone has any information on the timeline for EEA-PR under Surrinder Singh route.

Thanks,

I have sent a joint application (EEA and non-EEA spouse) on the 10th Apr, documents received in Liverpool on the 13th Apr.

It's been now 8 weeks since the documents have been reached the Capital Building in Liverpool and I still haven't received the biometric enrolment letter.

I have sent an email to eurobiometrics and got a reply a standard reply a few days later informing the application and payment were received and that "UKVI is experiencing higher than average intake bla bla bla".

Has anyone else applied for EEA PR online on the first fortnight of April and is still waiting for their Biometrics?

BTW, a friend of mine applied on the beginning of March, received the Bio letter 2 weeks later and got has Bio card yesterday..so just under 3 months for the whole process!


Thanks!

We were expecting a letter for biometric but received the following letter along with valid passports (myself, son and British spouse) without requesting them back:

''Thank you for your recent Euro application.

We acknowledge receipt of the application above, and have taken photocopies of the enclosed passport(s). There should be no need for you to resubmit these to the Home Office unless specified by the case worker.

Should you require any further information please see our website:
http://www.gov.uk/visa-documents-returned

Yours Sincerely''

is this the normal procedure or there should be a biometric letter first?
Anyone has any information please....

Hi everyone,

sorry for moving conversation slightly off- topic, but I really need a good piece of advice here.
As a EU national applying for EEA PR I was wandering if any of you in same circumstances know about travelling 2 weeks for holiday back home once the application has been submitted (via post). Did you have to schedule travel to a date after receiving COA or after doing biometrics? by other words are there any stages in the process that require us to be in the country? if yes which ones and please elaborate more on the reasons.

Thank you in advance

I have received the same letter along with both passports, I'm assuming it is a new procedure. My application was made recently too.

as EU national you will not receive biometric letter or COA, if you have travel documents- you can travel.
If someone is non-EU they will receive biometric letter and must submit it with post office within 15 days. If all fine with documents to go through border on the way back- you can travel, I don't see any problem.

Payment taken: 26 Nov 2016
Confirmation email by HO: 7 Dec 2016
Letter by HO requesting Biometrics: 6 Dec 2016
Confirming receipt by Letter: 28 Dec 2016
EU Passport requested back: 24 April 2017

Hope this helps and good luck everyone. It's a painful long process...

Hi,
When did you apply?
Did you apply under Surrinder Singh Route?

Thanks

[vuur]

Eu wife, non-EU husband, applying together
Applied 22nd December
Biometric letter dated 14th Jan, received 17th Jan
Biometrics submitted 18th Jan
Confirmation letter 24th Jan
Documents received back 14th June (dated 9th June)
Waiting for the biometric card for husband

A quick question to others: the letter says 'the courier will deliver the card and you'll be required to provide a photoID and sign'. Is it going to be Royal Mail or courier? Can the wife receive and sign on husband's behalf? Husband leaving to work in Scotland for four weeks, so we are worried...
