Hi, First congratulation to you..
I want to ask when you were waiting for your RC, i mean the duration time between the 04/05/2011 to 11/08/2011, did the UK border agency make any visit to your home or call you???? I am asking because we have changed our address because we were living in a rented house. But our case is being dealt through a solicitor so all correspondence will be delivered to the solicitor address.
Please reply.
Thanks.

I don't think they will let you in with coa,You might have to apply for FMRS to get back to uk,this is what I was told when i called EU inquiry line.

[imraniqbal2010]

You are aware that FMRS was the family member residence stamp given to the non-EEA national family members of A8 national workers for the first year (and was an in-country application)?

A non-EEA family member if he/she has ID, can prove the relationship to and, in this case. the presence of the EEA national must, in principle. be admitted to the UK. The CoA could indeed be useful for that purpose. But if you are a visa national how to you want to get on the plane?

You probably would have to apply for an EEA family permit. With the lack of supporting material this may be a challenge.

I applied for FMRS for the first time even i sent this all documents for this but they accept for residence card. I wanted just stamp but home office put me to the residence card.
so I think i cant come back to UK without RC.
thats the point when my case sorted and I would have rc,how I wil recieve ?
when I cant be in the UK.(I must leave here for my bussines so its emergency thats why I am going)
all is so complicate.

Hey there!

I have a question . I want to request my partners passport and actually I called home office for that and they asked if my partner was with me so that they could speak to him as he is the owner of the passport. I was not ready for this as i didnt know because my partner went to his country for a week to see his family with his id.

Well the reason i requested it is to see if that would help the application to be processed any faster as its been almost 3 months now.

Is there anybody with the same experience when they requested their EEA spouses'/partners' passports or id cards? Did home office ask the same thing?

My partner is ready to ask for it and we would be grateful if you could share your experiences or knowledge about the way to ask for it.

Thanks

Just ask your partner to use the email address LiverpoolEuro.PassportReturns@UKBA.gsi.gov.uk
stating the HO reference number.
See full details at the links at bottom of this page

EDIT:
Also, I don't think that asking for the EEA national passport would speed things up. It's the applicant passport request which might speed things up (in case it is already allocated to a case worker and just sits in a big pile). The "risk" is that they will issue the Residence Card on A4 paper and not as a vignette.

I sent it without my passport as i didnt have one. My spouse's passport was requested as part of covering letter and they sent it back with the COA.

Hi could people who has received thier RC or any news from home office to update us!

[imraniqbal2010]

Hey Berber,

You should get your's in this week or by next week,As I applied one day after you and i got mine this week.So be prepared to receive it.

imraniqbal

When do you think I should get mine??????

26 May 2011 received by home office
24 june received COA

I apliied earlier than you!!!!!!

The point is; it is very wrong to give people hope especially when you know that Home Office is quite inconsistent dealing with the order of applications and each case are different from to each other. Which means it could be longer, or shorter etc.

My frustration gets bigger when I know that I have made straightforward application and see other people who applied after me and they already enjoy the possesion of Residence Card. Fair enough and congratulations but do not do that, its wrong dont do that!!!!

Fair enough

By telling that some one got RC card does not increase the tention but gives the idea that home office are dealing with the cases from that date.& it gives a hope that if they are dealing around that date so he should be receiving it shortly as well.

It's is really pointless to speculate when that would be esp. without knowing the inner workings of the Liverpool team. Reported timelines given here can only be rough estimates. There are probably many reasons why individual applications take longer than others even if they seem straightforward. Legally, the UKBA has six months time to finalise an application. You do not have an entitlement to receive the RC earlier.

I guess you have read the rest of my post, right???
