still waiting for coa?????
how long it will be take????[/list]

Usually, they send within 30 days. We all know they have to send as soon as it's possible, but they don't. Anyway, it must take some time to at least briefly examine the documents sent.

RC issued on A4 paper. HO did not return my passport, marriage certificate and other documents.I don't understand why they issued RC on A4 paper when they've got my passport.waited for almost 8months.

My timeline as follow:
EEA2 application sent 09/08/11
Received by HO 10/08/11
COA sent received 25/08/11
RC issued 05/01/12
RC received 02/04/12.

Congrats Buzz, you were very patient

. it is annoying to see they issued it on the 5/01/12 and you only recieved it on the 02/04/12!!!....why does it always take them so long! very fustrating

Hi, I am nowhere near the 6 month mark, but my employer has been asking questions about my current visa which expires August. I only sent my EEA2 application in at the end of Feb, so if HO actually takes 6 months (or longer as they seem to be doing with some applications) - what happens then? Is it that the employer must terminate your contract, or can you go on a sort of sabbatical? Does anyone have experience of this?

(Note that I do not have the right to work under my COA as I applied as an unmarried partner.)

Hi there,

we have also applied as an unmarried partners and my fiance got the permission to work/continue the work. He sent that to his HR Dept. and no problems. He can freely work for the next 6 months...

Hello every body,

I know this is a copy-paste from my other post, but I think it fits here too. If any admin think I should remove everything except the time info, let me know it.

I have decided to comment my situation because maybe some could find it useful. Any comments is welcome.

Who
Male: Spanish (EEA Treaty Right) - With a Permanent Jobs in UK
Female: Bulgarian (It is in the EEA but with restrictions.
Status: Unmarried partner (8 years, 2.5 year living together)

Problem:
She cannot work in UK because Bulgarian and Romanian need a job before get the right to work in UK ( absurd...)

Current Solution:
Register the male (Spanish) in UK using the EEA1 and add as a family member (unmarried partner) his girlfriend.
Adding to the EEA1 form everything: Bills together, house rent contract, photos, external declarations, payslips, etc,etc

Status
Send EAA1 Form: 16/03/12
HO received: 19/03/12
COA recived: Waiting
RC: Waiting

Expectations
Received the COA as soon as possible which allows the girlfriend (Bulgarian) to work in UK as Architect. A lot of post say we should have the COA in 3-4 weeks. Cross fingers.....

Any suggestions? Tip? Idea?

Thank you.

EEA2 form to Home Office = 17 Feb 2012
Home office received = 20 Feb 2012
COA = no news???
Email on 20 March = No reply
Call 0151 672 5626 ( Opt1, then 2). no one pick up my call.

I am now holding my EEA Family permit which expire on 22 April 2012.

It takes too long to get my COA. Should be getting it by now! ;(

Just Received a call from the UKBA. They Looked into My husbands application after we had sent a further email requesting Any information on the status of it. His permit had been issued in December (original application sent 13 October 2011) They said it had been sent to the home office by mistake!! They have sent an urgent request for it to be sent back...we will send Ali's passport back to them (previously returned for a trip to Turkey) along with up to date info on my work situation and the permit will be returned as a matter of urgency..So.. After 4 months of unnecessary worry and being unable to make plans for holidays etc it seems the wait it actually over.. Permit issued just not in our hands yet..Such drama from a government agency who deal with important documents and important decisions about people's lives...
