I completely understand your pains and what you are going through. As it stands the Government has given directive to reduce immigration and now they are doing it aggressively to the point that most applications are thrown out to appeal (Judges) to decide. Now the tricky bit is the judicial system is choked up that all appeal dates have to be after 9 months. I have a friend whose appeal date is mid June 2014 after he applied for appeal since August 2013, can you imagine. I do not have any experience on the benefit side of things wrt your baby but sure some guru will respond shortly. I do hope you find rest while waiting and to console you, my application and appeal process took precisely 2 years and 2 months before it was sorted out.

I applied for a RC as the unmarried partner of an EEA (German) national.
My German partner and I had lived together for 18 months at the time of the first application. Details below:

01-05-2013: Sent EEA2 application for RC as unmarried partner of EEA national exercising treaty rights as a jobseeker
07-05-2013: C.O.A issued (don't remember when I received it)
03-06-2013: Sent paper request for sponsor's passport
05-06-2013: UKBA received request
08-06-2013: Received sponsor's passport, cover letter dated 05-06-2013
19-07-2013: RC refused, caseworker misread documents assumed my partner was unemployed for 16 months instead of 4 months (added a whole year to the timeline)
25-07-2013: Received the refusal
26-07-2013: Filed appeal to IAT and paid online, requested paper hearing
27-07-2013: Sent supporting documents to IAT
30-09-2013: IAT acknowledged appeal and I was given 28-10-2013 deadline to submit any further documentation

05-10-2013: reapplied for RC as unmarried partner of EEA national exercising treaty rights as a worker
06-10-2013: HO received application and cheque payment
08-10-2013: Acknowledgement of payment and receipt of application issued
24-10-2013: C.O.A issued (received 30-10-3013)
06-11-2013: sent paper request for both passports (after 1 online request, 2 documents not received follow ups online, and 1 email request to euro passport return)
13-11-2013: Passports received (cover later dated 08-11-2013)

07-11-2013: Received notification of IAT determination: Appeal allowed on 05-11-2013
19-11-2013: Sent paper request for RC since appeal had been allowed
27-11-2013: HO called EEA partner's workplace to confirm his employment status
30-11-2013: Received RC on Immigration Status Document (issued 27-11-2013, with reference for the new application and not the one that had gone though to appeal)

So, first application 01-05-2013 to 27-09-2013 including appeal process (6 months and 26 days), second application 05-10-2013 to 27-09-2013 1 month and 22 days.

I did not use the services of a solicitor but would like to acknowledge the very useful and helpful information that I got from this forum.

Thank you

@Chipmash just a quick one. When your application was refused, was your passport held by the HO?

[matt234]

Hey Guys, I had my appeal allowed over 10 weeks ago, I kept calling HO and they said I had to wait as it was in process. I called HO again yesterday and they said the case has been forwarded back to the case working team and they should reach a decision within another 4-6 weeks.
Is this normally how the process is? or is it just that mine is complicated?
Many Thanks

We both arrived in UK on 22nd October 2013, from Dunkirk.

Her is Non - EEA citizen from China.
I am UK citizen.

We therefore used the Surinder Singh, route, where my wife applied fro EEA-FP in Paris, which was granted, hence, whey we are both in UK now.

So all documents passports, etc, sent off today, 05/12/2013.
So they will receive it all tomorrow.

I don't see reason for the refusal except for the fact the HO can claim you didn't either way specify how your partner is exercising treaty right as you claim she was a student at the time of the application and later a job seeker which you send to them also. Also you don't need to have an existing visa to apply under the EU law so that is nothing to worry about and also your child is an important part they should put into consideration. Is your partner your child's mother? And did you provide them photographs and do you believe documents you submitted as evidence are sufficient to support your case? As per appeal, re-apply or reconsideration. I will advice you to go for reconsideration first and make sure you post your letter to the write department and also make the postage a normal delivery and another recorded delivery so they can receive either way as some recorded delivery can't be tracked I have experienced it before each time I track it shows they are still processing it through there network for over 2months and Royal Mail claim through phone the postage was delivered.

Thank you.

It seems strait forward, as the EEA-FP has already been granted and used to enter UK.
So I can't really see any problems in issuance of the residence card.

I will suggest you provide the HO with relevant documents to convince them with a cover letter why you think they should reconsider your case because court date can be next 10 months so go for reconsideration and wait for their decision which should take just few weeks instead and with positive mind you never know.

We are all here for one another @Anj03.

Yes request for a reconsideration with supporting documents and a cover letter stating why they should.

Oral hearing will be the best option for you which is about 140quid but you might need the service of the a good solicitor/barrister if you think you can't handle it yourself but I am not 100% sure of the reapplying. It has worked for certain people on this forum to appeal, request for reconsideration and reapply at the same time which I tried but by the time the new application was treated, I went for my hearing which was allowed and when I requested for the withdrawal of the new application the Ho EU rep told me it doesn't make any difference and all he could say was a waste of my money as I got an appeal going on so why put in another application then I pretended I was adviced by my solicitor then he categorically told me they(Solicitor) only want my money . So I hope the senior members can come in here for what they think is right as well.

If for me I will rather go for the reconsideration and reapply or reconsideration and appeal but not the 3. Thanks
