Hmm thanks zubby007, that means there is no way to track the package even if gets missing, i called HO today because my 6 months is due and i was told a package was sent to me 1st june 2012 but i did not receive any package, the lady i spoke with actually said the package was sent to my solicitor but i told her i did not use any solicitor for my application, she said it was sent. Dont know what to do

Hii there...my advice to you is to wait till it's 3 months from the date you applied as from following the timelines provided by others and my own experience 3 months is the maximum period in which they send the COA, but in many cases it is less thatn this so good luck...

From reports we are getting there are no guarantees at all at the moment about how long COA is taking. There is an employers hotline for the UKBA, so my advice would be to start looking and direct potential employers to try contacting the Employers hotline for the UKBA where they can get verification that you are legally allowed to work. While some potential employers might put you in the too hard basket, but it's worth a shot and from the sounds of it you have nothing to lose.

Got my CoA today. I think they're finally getting around to processing end of June - July applications.

EEA2 Sent - 27/06
Received - 28/06
COA - 07/09

Requested my passport back before getting the CoA on 20/08 and received it 4 days later. I didn't include a special delivery envelope so documents are sent back to me using 2nd class mail.

Got worried a bit from reading the posts here but I think if your application is pretty straightforward and you have all the right documents then it should be alright. Just be patient.

dardanzeka · Post by **dardanzeka** » Fri Sep 07, 2012 7:23 pm

Many Thanks in Advance

hi you received Coa
thanks
No Bro, nothing yet. I called HO and the Lady i spoke to told me not to bother them for next 6 months and she seemed to have a bad day because of me.

call one more time and request an information about ur COA, sometimes they just do not want to check it for u, but u have a rights to get an info after several weeks have passed, it's says on their web site.

Good luck

Here is my timeline.
I like to share it especially with May applicants.

EEA2 Sent - 17/05
HO Received - 18/05
COA - 30/07
RC - Arrived 17/08 Dated 09/08

Honestly I did not expect to receive my RC so early, because it took me almost 2.5 month to get my COA.

Acutually I called in for inquiring my COA twice.
On the first phonecall (4 weeks passed after I sent my application), they said to wait more. On the second (almost 2 months passed), this operator said, "Oh, that's late. I am making a COA request for you." And then he processed with his computer, and COA arrived two weeks later.

So it could be one way to remind them of your application.

dardanzeka · Post by **dardanzeka** » Tue Sep 11, 2012 6:04 am

6 weeks passed and still no COA,do u think i should keep calling them everyday for it or i should wait ?
everytime i call they keep saying its nt validated yet,they cant do anything,thanks
