I sent mine last week 5th of August and money taken from my account onthe 6th. Not yet receive anything.
Mine was posted on 24th June, money taken out the very next day; since then I haven't heard from them. They are dismissive each time I call. Standard response is to wait until it is out of standard service time before calling again
Please can you give me the number to call please. Thank you

Wow congratulations . Is the Dfr1 that you applied for?
Did you go to court or they just granted you?
Please can you tell us about the whole process?
Yes Sebel,
It is Derivative residence card application (Zambrano ) that i applied for and has been granted.
I did not go to court, yes they just granted it.

Please can you tell us about the whole process?: I submitted the forms together with my daughter's British passport, her birth certificate, (detailing that i am her mother) A letter from her school dated in March 2020. ( This school letter has been sent via email to me already) . That letter just stated who her parents are, how long she has been in the school and the parents address held on file. I also included a letter from dental appointment addressed to my daughter which had been cancelled due to COVID--19.
All the best.

@ Snooky

I was advised to make Settlement Scheme application under Lounes because my child have dual nationality but i am already a derivative residence card holder. Is this advice right?

The term derivative comprises all the derived right under wider eu laws and all works differently and treated per their case law.
A. Zambrano B. Chen C. Teixeira n Ibrahim D. Carpenter E. McCarthy.

Lounnes

A family member of a relevant EEA citizen can also apply where they are the family member of a dual British and EEA citizen who exercised free movement rights in the UK prior to the acquisition of British citizenship and who retained their EEA nationality of origin after acquiring British citizenship. Court of Justice of the European Union case called C-165/16 Lounes.

Note// not all dual citizens can qualifies your EEA family members. The way it works is tricky.

Which dual nationals can have their family members avail of this Lounes idea? As the guidance says, it’s essentially those who didn’t have dual nationality before they moved to the UK to exercise their free movement rights, and kept their original European citizenship after becoming British.

So now you have to decide if you qualify based on what I have written

Morning, does been a healthcare frontline worker help your application because it seems EU settlement employees tend to pay more attention when spoken to on the phone. They collect information about your job and send it the caseworker. Thanks

Being healthy care frontline worker will not influence and/or hype your application or someone's.

Everyone should be meet the following;

A. Eligibility
B. Suitability
C. There shouldn't be supervening

and other relevant criteria. But the eligibility can be challenged because it should be within Regulation 16

Did they send your Or the child’s passports back or was it just the biometric letter?

Oh ok . I posted mine a month ago and haven’t heard anything, not even a biometric letter . I have tried to contact , they aren’t giving me an answer. I did enrol for biometric in February for my EU Settlement Scheme application, could it be because of that ?

@Frustrated2019 I wouldn't be too sure, because i also enrolled my biometrics for my EUSS application in June last year which was refused in March this year. But as this is my first EU application (Derivative) i guess that's the reason i have been requested to enrol a biometric. People applying for FLR M and FLR FP renewals has not been requested to enrol the biometrics due to the Covid-19 guidance.
