I just called home office. They sid that there were absolutely no way of checking my husband's application progress because it hasn't been 6 months yet. The CAse ID I got from the solicitor was only for my application, he found my husband's application in the computer system but it had no Case ID yet.. Is this bad news??Jambo wrote:Call them again and ask for your passport. Once the EEA1 was issued, they don't really need to keep the EEA national passport.Jossan wrote:What do you think we shall do?
We posted our application (EEA2 +EEA1) on 1/3/2012, got the COA end of March and got the EEA1 RC in end of April (don't have exact dates as our solicitor has it)
We NEED to travel to my home country on the 23rd of June, but without my husband's EEA2 RC he can't come with me, even if we request his passport back.
We have asked them to speed the application up and explained our situation (on the 21st of May). Also, we have asked them to at least return my passport so that I can travel. However, we have not received anything back yet, not even my passport.
Any suggestions on what to do? We really need to travel. If worst case scenario my husband wouldn't be able to get his EEA2 RC in time then do you think my passport will arrive or shall I request it again?
On the COA should be the Case ID and it should be signed by a case worker who's allocated to review your application.Jossan wrote:I just called home office.

I atleast requested my passport back, he promised it won't affect my husband's application and that it will be sent out within 5 days.
What do you think? Do we have any chance of getting it all done by the 23rd??

was your application straight forward? whereabout are you guys from because I am starting to think this really does affect the timeline
I realise that I needed a document from the police when I applied for my tier 1 and I didnt supply that when I applied for eea as it wasnt requested. That could be the only reason it has taken so long because honestly I cant think of anything else
don't worry, people tend to overthink when smth takes ages. I know of straightforward EEA4 cases pending since December as well, I assure you it has absolutely nothing to do with your need to register with police, they don't have a choice whether to issue an RC or not! You applied to "obtain a confirmation of your subsisting right" so they are in no position to use discretion etc.Samelamin wrote:do any of you need to register with the police. I do and I did not send my certificate because it was not asked
They might be waiting on the police to confirm something which causes the delay
They must be waiting on something from someone otherwise they wouldnt leave it till the last minute like this

I would put their incompetence to the head of all problems and delays, don't worry, my feeling is you should aim to get your stuff some time mid July, that based on the fact you will have to raise hell and complain like crazy on 19 June and onwards and by the time they react to your complaint, allocate your application to a caseworker (which I am sure they still haven't) and issue an RC and then post it to you it would take around additional 2-4 weeks.
So, look at it this way and if you get it sooner (which I doubt due to their appalling service) then be happy, otherwise set realistic goals!
Patience is a virtue!
P.S. Once you qualify and are applying under the EU law, you NO LONGER need to register with police nor provide your police certificate. I initially thought you were regularly reporting to police as part of conviction etc. However, now that I read you mention a certificate, this only applies to non-EU nationals who are applying and living in the UK under other routes (workers, highly skilled migrants, student etc) But you NO LONGER have to and it is a useless piece of paper now, keep it as a memory but you won't ever need it again as you are under EU law now!
