I am new to the forum, I have read many of your post and find it quite helpful. I am now quite desperate at the moment.
My husband applied for the EEA2 on 13th February 2012,
HO received it 14th February 2012
we received COA on 14th March (dated from 13/03),
Is already 5 months that we sent the application and still have no news, nobody replies e-mails and when I call they have me for more then 16 minutes until I hang up......is there anyone else in the same situation (I mean waiting for so long?)
Now my husband employer is telling me that the COA is only valid for 3 months, but I can't see anywere in UKBA website if this is correct or no, anyone here knows?
Thank you so much for your help.

As far as I know, COA is NOT only valid for 3 months. It should be valid until a decision is made, didn't you read the letter?? It should all be explained and written on your COA Letter, did you have a look of it?
Also, I don't think it's necessary to call them, email them whenever before the 6-month deadline. What you should do now is to wait patiently, and plan ahead your future instead! Hope this helps!

I loathe unprepared people!
Your husband should ask his employer to call the HO Employers helpline (I believe the number is on the CoA). The HO would be able to confirm his status.Alibg30 wrote:
Hello Chris,
Thank you for your reply. I did read the letter and there is no where saying is only valid for 3 months, it states that it is prove that my husband has the right to work and that in any case they will take a maximum of 6 months to make a decision. Now all I want is to have a confirmation from HO that this is the case as at this stage anything and anyone makes me doubt.
But thank you for your help.

Thanks zubby007 for your suggestion,, my case is not that simple as it seems,, this is the second time i applied after they requested for additional documents,, sorry should have mentioned before,, my actual case:zubby007 wrote:Your case is not the worst I suggest you wait until 2weeks before the 6months.benu wrote:Hello friends,
Applied for EEA2 on 9th March
Received COA after 2 months!! (As per rules if several weeks have passed, and still waiting for COA we can call HO to check,, so had to call HO before that)
Since then still waiting for RC!!
4 1/2 months so far no luck yet!![]()
Anyone else in same situation?
Members, what do you suggest? Shall I call them as I did for my COA? or shall I wait? Because they say that we cannot call them to inquire about the progress as it MIGHT delay the process,, not sure what to do![]()
Any suggestions or any experience from similar situations please?
Thanks and regards!
What else do you want when its all written BOLDLY.If his employer needs further proof,it is their job to contact HO either through phone,fax or letter to get more information with reference to the COA letter.Alibg30 wrote:Hello Chris,Goody1613 wrote:Alibg30 wrote:Hello all,
