.I am a non-EEA national married to an EEA-national and I have been living in Scotland since 2003
The processing delays have continued to increase since January 2008 thereabouts. If you haven't contacted the SOLVIT branch of your spouse's country then I suggest you do so. You may also want to get your local MP to intervene.My first family permit expired last March so I sent my EEA2 application at the end of January 2008. I didn't hear anything until July (around 6 months after I applied) when I received a letter requesting more information - payslips etc as proof that my sponsor 'wife' is exercising treaty rights in the UK. I sent all the required information and have since heard nothing!
I called the Home Office many times and always got the same answer that my application is waiting to be considered. I sent a letter of complaint to my regional office in November and received no response!
I have recently moved address but was advised by an Immigration Advice Centre not to change this with the home office in case it delays the application even more.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do from here? Would it delay the application to change the address?
I feel completely stuck right now... I'd appreciate any advice at all!
Pity... When did you both return to the UK and begin exercising treaty rights again? 5 years to that day when you both were physically present in the UK is when you will qualify for PR.My wife is dutch. Unfortunately in 2006 we went away for a bit more than a year for her studies and so I was told I could not apply for the Settlement visa as I had not been living here for 5 "consecutive" years.
Yes, SOLVIT NederlandsWould it definitely be the Dutch branch that I would have to contact?
i am waitning already seven months for my eea2 application and still no answer! what should i do can anyone tell me plz? plz plz...Pasha wrote:The email sounds encouraging you should give them a ring and ask (since you application has been considered and completed) what was the outcome/decision and when can you expect your documents back...usually is should be 10 working days. Best of luck.
Also send a complaint email to your partner's country SOLVIT branch on ec.europa.eu/solvit. They are usually quite helpful. Good Luck!kampk121 wrote:i am waitning already seven months for my eea2 application and still no answer! what should i do can anyone tell me plz? plz plz...Pasha wrote:The email sounds encouraging you should give them a ring and ask (since you application has been considered and completed) what was the outcome/decision and when can you expect your documents back...usually is should be 10 working days.
