Well, it seems my Mrs didn't sign page 13, the end of biometrics page, so they send us back everything, refused application, and got charged £25 for that.
So a new application was sent on the 21st July, check my signature.
So I guess we have to wait at least 6 weeks before we see the biometrics letter.

Something is not right in your case, has been long time since you applied. So no idea what could be wrong in your case.
Let us know when you do.

Hi Gullposh,

Who did you email within the Home Office? I was told by the Euro Helpline to email Euro Biometrics. This was successful; according to the date on my biometric enrolment letter, they prepared it less than two business days after I sent the email.

Because I hadn't received any confirmation email or a Case ID, I included as much information in my email as I could about my application to help them locate it, including type of application, our names (mine + EEA husband), dates of birth, nationalities, passport numbers, phone number, email address, home address, Royal Mail tracking number of application, date they received the application, and the date they processed the payment.

I hope you get the bio letter soon! And if you've already emailed Euro Biometrics, I apologise for my useless reply :lol:

Yes, that's the email address. Sorry for not posting it before; I didn't know if we are allowed to post email addresses in the forums.

Jaecd,

The Euro Helpline told me (back in April) to wait 6 weeks from when they got my application to email Euro Biometrics, because the service standard for receiving the biometric letter was 6 weeks and they would ignore my email if I sent it before then.
