This is incorrect- even if you dont have joint tenancy agreement, joint bank statements and all other joint things you are very eligible to get RC as long as you prove that you lived together at the same address for more than 2 years and in a relationship akin to marriage and if your partner is exercising Treaty right. I dotn' have joint account, or joint council tax bills, or joint electricity bills simply because we registered separately for separate bills. Its not like I was thinking "oh what HO will say if I only have my name on electricity bill". And if they reject me on basis that I don't have joint bills or account, they risk spending taxpayers money on court trial which I would most definitely win after appealing of course. This is what my lawyer told me and this is what I read when I was reading an Immigration Law.
I don't want to sound like I am taking your hopes away but I think that the most reasonable thing we can do is expect to wait full 6 months for RC. Applicants who applied in October and expect to receive their RC in 2012 I must say-get real. I applied 1st of September and I expect to receive it not before the end of Feb.
But lets hope I am wrong.
May I ask which number you called and what options you selected? Yesterday I called on 01516725626 but there didn't seem to be an IVR option to speak with anyone.diane wrote:I am a July applicant and still haven't received my RC.

I've seen a lot of posts from people suggesting that because they are nearing the 6 month limit, they should get in touch with the UKBA. While I understand it is frustrating having to wait, why do you think they'll provide any information to you, simply because it will be 5 months next week?diane wrote:but the guy said that if your application is less than 6 months I cant provide you any details although mine is on the 5th month next week.

Thanks
I find it incomprehensible the watery service standards accorded to non-EEA family member applications. The EU Directive, with all good intentions, might confer equal rights but in this instance (and many others) we are regarded and treated as 2nd class citizens.lannalondon1 wrote:I find it shocking that your RC is dated in October -what on earth were they doing with it for 2 months?!

The guidelines clearly state that it can take up to 6 months, and in everything else I have read, the UKBA discourage people phoning them for an update, as the call/contact centre staff simply don't have that information.
Hang in there diane - hopefully you'll get an early Christmas present tomorrow!
wao that is just amazing really happy for you you got your christmas present early....guka wrote:Hi guys, after 3 months waiting I received my RC, I submitted my application on the 27th September. i requested our passports to be returned a couple of weeks ago.

my freind dont have joint bank statementsflipper77 wrote:mhamdsamy,
Where did you find any requirement for phone bills or photos? It clearly says on the application form: "For unmarried partners: proof that you are in a durable relationship. Generally this is proof that you have been in a subsisting relationship for two years or more, such as joint bank or building society statements, joint tenancy agreements, council tax bills or evidence that you are both pay- ing utility bills at the property at which you reside."

It seem I am one of the few July applicant who has not received his RC. I can't understand why ho is still keeping my application, I got married in London to an EU national who has been working since she came to this country 8yrs ago. Very frustrating, my will be 6 months in a couple of weeks time, i thought I was going to celebrate my birth day, 25/12 in a special way. Anyway, I ve no option but to wait.mhamdsamy wrote:merry xmas to y 2Carolms wrote:Dear all,

You don't attach it to your passport, it's a 'freestanding' document.
