EEA2 Application Timelines - ONLY 1 TOPIC - UpToDate

[RC....]

Image I called ministry of foreign affairs of my country and they said, ye ambassy in London had just called usking how to deal with unmarried couple. I said ye it was bec of us. Then we went for interview with consul. He was checking each picture while looking at my face saying it can be fake picture or u look different. I said yes ofcourse after 4 years I look different. And I continued if you want to see our emails are true let me login to my email infront of u. Then I told him that the main is at least 2 years house contract ehich was even stamped by big office. So then he had to accept I was right.. And the funniest was that he said your partner cannot travel visa free with RC. I said yes he can you even have it on your website. Maybe I pissed him off so he rejected..

Thank you so much. I hope yours come very soon! All the best!

Hi there

Anyone happen to have Laura Avery direct phone line?

Our case was passed to Margie Clarke but she went on holidays and said Laura Avery will be the one looking at our case. We already sent her 2 emaisl but never got any reply back, my partner COA is expired after all the UKBA delays and her employee is not confident with that situation so they want to see the passport now. Since the COA letter that she received 6 months ago expired.

This whole process it's being a nightmare!!

Thanks

Hi Guys!!!

My 7 month wait is finally getting over.

Today I sent an e-mail to Rob White'man. As a response I got this

"Thank you for your email.
Notification of the decision in your case was sent out by our colleagues in Liverpool today. It was addressed to...."

So... fingers crossed

is it really a good idea to send email to robwhiteman. to check whats the status of application? on: rob.whiteman@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

i applied a month ago?
thanks for the replies

[A&A]

Dear A&A I hope after interview and home visit they will must issue your RC. U are absolutely right and we were prepared for everything. Specially when my partner is from not really favourite country.. We spent like 2 months to submit all papers. We are unmarried couple. We submited a lot of pictures, flights before we started living together, house contracts with 6 bills for each year, letters from friends and family, picture with family, joint bank account, calls from our numbers, emails, post letters.. I think it was fast because of Family permit..

What is your situation? On which basis have came to the UK? Was your visa expired? How long aftrr being married did you apply? Have you send some pictures or extra proofs? In wedding pictures- are there more people?

I am sure they will give it to you after all this stress!!

I would contact Rob.... People here said he was helpful..

I know how it is, my partner was rejected to visit my country, even he has my name in passport. My ambassy didnt know how to deal with unmarried couple..

Hello RC,

We applied with the married couple route & did send everything possibly we could. All the pictures of before & after marriage. They can even see how I went from blonde to brunet then naturally again blone. It's all in the pictures.

There were a lot of people in our wedding. We had about 20 people which we both mentioned every single persons name on the interview day.

We applied 4 months after the married. It was a psw.

The second time we applied after the first rejection this was when the non EEA nationals visa was out of date but he was allowed to stay here because of me.

Now it's been 7 months.

I will try to advise my solicitor to email Rob but I know it won't help.

It's strange that the lady who interviewed us was so satisfied with us both after the interview & said we will have the rc in 4-5 days.

Now it's 14 days leave aside 4 days.

Its a nightmare.

My otherhalf's visa was valid 10 months when we got married.

I don`t think so that they will tell you what is the status. You applied a month ago so you have to wait. Writing to Rob is a good idea if your application would be processed for over 6 months.


I wanna share with you that today we received our documents with passports and RC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 7 months and 11 days. I still can`t believe in it. I received an e-mail on Tuesday 16th that they will deal with our application within 28 days and 18th of April RC was issued.

@ Alijawad786 your application is not delayed and you have no reason to send such emails to rob at this time, most application sent to ukba this year are treated much faster than those applied last year. Just be patient and I'm sure you will be among the lucky people getting rc within 3 months. Good luck

After waiting for almost six months, my RC finally arrived today. The wait was simply nerve-racking.

Here's my time line.

Application: 25 Oct 2012
COA: 13 Nov 2012 (dated 03 Nov 2012)
Made several requests for EEA passport to be returned. All requests ignored.
RC: 23 Apr 2013 (dated 17 Apr 2013)

To those still waiting, hang in there. There's always light at the end of the tunnel.

Congrats Milka!

I've written to Rob and personally never got a response. It wasn't until I dealt with Solvit that things started processing. My RC was denied on ridiculous reasons for my husband failing to be a proper sponsor. On top of that, now I am told by a UKBA staff member over phone that since February 4 I was placed on a tourist visa?! How is that even possible when my application wasn't processed until April? It's getting to be even more and more twisted in my situation. If I make it out of this, I'll be happy to continue to give updates.

Are the houses really that cheap in Derby. I was planning to buy one as the UKBA doesn't like to give me EEA 1 & EEA2. They have put our applications in a pillow & sleeping on it.
