We received the "non straightforward" email.
How long have you waited for your visa?
nicoleprdes wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2017 5:25 pmHello Everyone,
I have been reading this thread for awhile now since I applied for my EEA FP last July 17th. Everything I have read in here are so helpful. Congratulations to everyone who received their Permit and for those who are still waiting (like me) I really really hope it all works out.
I recently got married here in Italy with my boyfriend(now husband) of 2 years last June 10th, 2017. I applied for an EEA FP because I have been offered a job in Birmingham so my husband (Italian EEA national) and I decided to move in UK since I still have my Non EEA Passport thats why I need a permit.
My Job is supposed to starts this coming August 14th, 2017. Unfortunately I still dont have my passport and permit.
I wanted to share my timeline here and ask for any suggestion and help on what I should do.
July 17th - Application Submitted/ Biometrics taken in Rome, Italy.
July 18th - I checked/tracked my application in TLSContact site that my application was received by DMC
tma__application_received_by_dmc_description %s
July 28th - Received an email from ViSAINFO.SHEFO@fco.gov.uk ( I assume thats from UKVI) that my application have been received at the UK Decision making Centre.
July 31st - I paid the Email Inquiry to check what is the status since I have a Timeline to catch due the the Job offer that I have.
August 2 - Received an answer to my paid email (very unhelpful) telling me that its still under consideration. So.. That was a bust.
August 3 - Received and email from ViSAINFO.SHEFO@fco.gov.uk that my application is not straightforward.
Im aware the it takes 15 days for the processing of the application but since I started reading this thread I have come to know that once you received the not straightforward email that it might/will take longer.
I also checked the processing time that 98% will take 15 days and 100% will take 30 days for Rome, Italy.
I dont know if I should push it by calling them or escalating or complaining or just wait. the waiting has been killing me (and everyone else who is waiting) and knowing that I might lose my job offer because of this is also killing me.![]()
Any thoughts? Thank you so much.
Hi Fantka,
Im sorry for a late reply. I waited for 4 weeks then my EEA permit came in the mail.It should not take long but, you really just have to wait.

I would like to know if anyone got the EEA Family Permit for a spouse where both the spouse and EEA citizen are outside the UK, ie the EEA citizen is not yet in the UK and the spouse is travelling together with the EEA citizen to the UK. What was the timeline like from Sheffield?

Does this mean new application from those locations are not allowed?

I have similar emailRanjuraj2026 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 12:42 pmhi guys.. this is the mail i got today..
Thank you for your enquiry regarding your UK visa application.As we have previously advised, the processing of this application has not been straightforward. We are continuing to work on the application and will make a decision as soon as we are able to. We cannot give a time scale for when a decision will be made, however I have escalated this to the appropriate Entry Clearance team so that it can be progressed as quickly as possible.
anybody else received this kinda mail?

I received it in the end of September, saying

Just very shocking behaviour from home office. They don't even have any excuse. I don't think they can be that busy or short staff that applications taking more then 7-8 months for only entry visa. Something must be behind this delay. No complains and escalation will work as I have complained many times and escalated 4 times. We have to think out together what options we can use otherwise never know when we will be able to see our passports.
