if you sent in only eea2 (and not eea1 for your husband together in the same envelope), it should take up to 6 months. The home office is not very fast in these matters.

If I just knew,when we called Home Office,they just sead to sent EEa2 form,and wait.
Do they send us back with mail resident card when it's finished or we have to pick it up?
Thanks

Tili, you might find the following post useful..

Joint EEA1 and EEA2 applications may reduce your waiting time from 6 months. You will receive the certificate of application which will state your right to work as the spouse of an EEA national. Once your application is processed, the home office will return your file and passports.

Are you aware that using the EEA route rather than the U.K. Immigration Rules can mean a longer wait for British citizenship.

Does your Irish husband plan to become a British citizen in a year's time?

No problem, now you have to wait for processing of your application which should take about 6 months, in the meanwhile- enjoy married life!

If you were getting concerned about your applications, I suggest you call them to enquire of the progress. Any written correspondance should be sent via recorded mail. And remember if you have forgotten to include anything that you thing may help your application, you can always send it in.

Best of luck with it,
