I sent in a letter quoting my reference number aswell as a special delivery envelope last week saying it was urgent. Within 5 working days I have received my RC back. So if it really is urgent, I suggest you send one in. Good luckSamelamin wrote:loads of replies and it's only Monday
I have a really good feeling about this week
Thanks for the advice I was tempted to send them a special delivery envelope but I dont see it making any progress at the moment so ill just wait
The advice given regarding the Family Permit is wrong. A Kiwi passport would get you on a plane. A CoA would get you pass the border.Nz made wrote:Kiwi lad married to an Irish lass
so my timeline is
EEA 2 Applied for 12 Feb 2012
Received by HO 13 Feb 2012
COA received 16 Mar 2012 (dated 9 Mar 2012) with full right to work
Requested Spouses Passport Back 22 May 2012
Received Spouses Passport 29 May 2012
No RC as yet after months
but I requested my passport back as I need to travel, and the home office promptly responded saying they had sent my COA and my Spouses passport to me already, as they were confused as to what I wanted, so i called them to explain.
Upon calling them I was told that if I left the country with my passport that I would have to apply for a family permit from NZ before returning to the UK even though I have a COA stating right to work in the UK.
They did say my application would continue, but that I would not be allowed re-entry without a family permit (even though technically by EU law you don't even need an RC to enter when you are married and travelling with your spouse).
Anyone here travelled with the passport and coa with no family permit???

I asked my EU partner's passport back on 30 May and nothing received yet. The contempt of this particular HO department is beyond anyone's imagination. We have been waiting for nearly 6 months by next week and I have little or no hope that further nagging is going to make any difference. They clearly couldn't care less.Samelamin wrote:I just called and got the default answer that I should call next week.
Then I asked " are you saying I should call next week" and the lady said that "im not advising you to call next week, Id advise you to wait, it might be resolved by then"
So ill nag them endlessly by Wednesday. I really dont see them giving it to me by then but stranger things have happend
