Hi all first of all i would to thanks my fellow forum member for feeding us with all this valuable information and sharing your experiences as it has helped me alot to understand the whole process.this is my first post following 2 weeks of continuous reading of this forum.
My time line for eea1 and eea2 so far is:
i have been with my partner since feb 2010,it started as a causal relationship but we fell in love and decide to get married and we have been living together since July 2010
certificate of approval applied in sept 2010,which was later refused in march 2010 for not providing enough evidence grrrr
married in july 2011
eea1 and eea2 sent off in sept 2011 on the basis of married partner of an eaa national which is exercising treaty rights in the uk as self employed ,coa was received in OCT 2011 first week and from then this never ending wait started to get my RC. numerous phone call to home office in regrads to the progress of the application was told to wait till its been 6 months from the date i applied. i have also sent them emails,first two went unanswered and finally at the third email they replied
According to our record your application is still under consideration and you will be contacted shortly
contacted as in they require new evidence or is this good news?
as this whole process is almost touching the 6 month mark as stated in the guidelines and i am sort of worried and sad at the same time as some people here applied at the same time as me have got their resident cards and i am left in that dark corner
i will appreciate any kind of suggestion,advice in regards to this and i would also like to know what would be the case if they HO does not reach a decision after 6 months and what would be my options at that point ?
But it may just be wishful thinking
