Asking the passport back should not delay the application and might in some cases speed up the application. Don't worry about the envelope. In many cases the HO just ignore those and use their own.spike_UK wrote:No really my solicitor didnt enclose any envelop so i guess it will take long,, so I will ask beginning of May,, will that yet delay may process,,as my RC visa is not on passport(A4 paper) so I need passport and RC back to be able to apply for Tunisia tourism visa!! thanks mate

Submitted EEA2 application for my non-EU daughters and for my huband to have his RC stamp transferred into his new passport on 20/03/2012. No news so far. Just wanted to ask what email address do people here use to communicate with the EU team at UKBA??? Tried to read through the pages here but all I could find was their phone number.
this is really long!!!masum wrote:I am waiting. Eea4 sent on 1st dec11. Still waiting. Looks like they will take full 6 months.
Hi Masum, you may remember I applied at the same date as you. I called to ask where my COA was, as just like you I never received one, in the beginning of April, few days later they send the PRC.masum wrote:I am waiting. Eea4 sent on 1st dec11. Still waiting.

Submitted further application on 9 March
Called HO to chase COA on 10 April
26 April - second refusal letter (non-EEA passport retained)
27 Apill - sent compaint to all possible emails, faxes, UKBA addresses

My advice to everyone: if you are not happy with the service - COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN and COMPLAIN
I'm going to request compensation from HO for mishandling my case on 2 ocassions
mcovet wrote:Congratulations. As regards complaining, not many people will have a cause to complain within the first 6 months. So, in a way, you are "lucky" they mishandled your case. Most people dont even hear from the UKBA so nothing to complain about.
What was the reason for the refusal and when was the EEA3 application processed? Same time as non-eea or earlier? How much compensation do you expect and what were your actual losses? Thanks
This particular individual does have cause for complaint.

Application received by HO - 27/04/2012
COA - Still waiting
I posted my application for eea3 and eea4 on the 17/03/2012, received by HO on the 19/03/2012. I have not receive my COA. I have sent them more than 4 emails and 2 letters requesting for COA, guess what? No response. I have called them so many times, it is always same story, my case has not been allocated to a case worker. even yesterday when I called, it was the same story. I have now given up. the worse thing is that the lady answering the call for HO is a very rude person, am even planning to talk to her supervisor if she is rude to me again.Bing wrote:Application Posted - 13/04/2012babyjake wrote:anyone applied for EEA4 in April/ May 2012?
