Another 2-3 weeks for the RC you reckon?azdjani2012 wrote:craxy1102 wrote:Thanks a lot ruben. It really is a very stressful timeruben7 wrote:Yayyy congrats CRAXY !!! Very happy for you...
wow gud to hear ya got too, u and me just had 1 day difference, now wait for RC, hope soon will be here
I got forgot to add - any tips one getting the RC sooner rather than later? Or finding our where it is?DennisB wrote:Hi everyone,
I've enjoyed, if that's the word, following your progress.
My wife is still waiting for her RC and both our passports, since sending our application almost 5 months ago. surinder singh case.
Here is our timeline, thus far:
Applied 23rd May (arrived shortly after)
Received COA end of August, dated: 20 August (with right to work)
RC & passports: still waiting.
Called today, as we have to move out, end of November - just as the 6 month period ends. So that's worrying, plus we are desperate to visit family abroad this Christmas, so nerves are on edge. called 0845 010 5200 for info on the status of our application and how to change our address with them.
They knew nothing about our application, he said they take 6 months generally, and that they don't have information on any cases until the 6 months have passed. As for the address change, he recommended a link, and posting a new SAE, as apparently they might just ignore the message to change address, or just send it 2nd class (note, I did send an SAE in the first place, for my current address).
Well I was wondering if any other May applicants had any information to compare.
And does anyone know if changing address has any other unforeseen consequences, like another excuse to delay processing and sending back the residence card!
Sorry if that's not all relevant to this topic, but my main intention is to share my timeline and see if there are any other May applicants on here that I've missed.
Good luck everyone and thank you!
ahh ok , all the best to uMr. Ali wrote:Thanks Craxy1102
I just want to share my timeline on this forum.
Thank you Mr. Ali! I think you're right. I'm afraid to get into changing my address yet. But I might sent up that post forwarding service with the post office.Mr. Ali wrote:Hi DennisB
I believe there is nothing you can do but wait until the 6 month period is over. And i hope you will get the RC and your passports before November. But the last date of the 6 month period would be 23rd November. I believe then only you can make complain against them in the European Complaints body. But i suggest send them a letter with your travel planes and don't forget to mention that 6 month time is getting closer.
All the best.

I'm in a similar situation, we moved to a new flat and we changed the address on the UKBA website and we don't know if they are going to send it to the new address. I'm checking the Royal Mail tracking code every day to see if it got activated.
Our timeline:
EEA2 Application: 8th May
EEA2 Arrival: 9th May
COA with right to work: 20th Aug
RC: outstanding
Let's face it, they can look-up the case status if they want to. On a lucky day with the right person on the phone, some forum members got an update. However, if they do it each time, everyone would call them every week asking for the status.
It would be interesting to know from those who already received their RC, if UKBA sends out an email when the case is decided. There was a dedicated field on the EEA2 form to provide your email address.
UKBA could reduce their call volume probably by 90% if they simply send out email updates for every process step. Nobody would call them any more.

just to be on the safe side, I suggest you could request a "Royal Mail redirection" service ,
https://www.royalmail.com/delivery/inbo ... directions
I don't know if you can do it "after" you moved, but it might be a good idea in case the UKBA does not update your address details.
Oh maaaan!topixtrader wrote:I did and so far I haven't received any redirected mail ... Royal Mail and UKBA play in the same league ...
