EEA2 Application Timelines - ONLY 1 TOPIC - UpToDate

[megoizzy]

For those who have hit or almost hit the 6-month mark...

Have you called/emailed UKBA about your application? If so, how many times? Was it recent?

What is the nature of your application (spouse or unmarried partner)?

Although I know you can never know for sure what's going on over there, maybe if we pull together all the info we have, we can get a feel for what's causing the delays?

[SRE]

does any one know if after six months they actually tell you the reason why is it taking long or how far the application has been processed?

why don't you send them an email and ask about your residence card and passport. and tell them according to EU regulation the application only take within 6 months..

16 days more to go! applied as spouse! emailed numerous times! asked for early passport return! emailed today again asking if RC has been issued. they responded by saying application still not concluded! i think what delayed my app is that i did not provide more then 6 month old payslips, statements and other bills!

well if they said your application still not concluded i think its almost finish its just they haven't decide yet. if your application already hit the 6 months or more than six months, you have right to demand an answer from them cos the EU regulation is within 6 months.

Yikes, if 6-month-old payslips and bills are required for spouses, then we are truly screwed! I followed the application instructions to the letter, providing two of my husbands payslips, both of which were less than 6 weeks old (which is what is requested in the guidelines). We also provided our current lease and bills and bank statements from the past several months in both our names, but nothing from prior, aside from our marriage certificate. I hope this isn't the case for us!

did not mean to scare you! i assumed that more evidence you provide the better and quicker it processes!

Hi,

I only submit my husband 2 months latest payslip, the last month bank statement, two gas and electricity bills. i don't submit the bills or bank statement, or payslip for the latest 6 months cos its not mentioned in the form and also not mentioned in the docs checklist.

Hi I received lots of information on this forum and would like to contribute a little back:

Chinese wife(full-time work), Italian husband (full time students+slef-employed)

Finally receive my RC after exactly 3 month waiting:
Application: 7 Nov 2011
COA received: 10 Dec 2011
Received RC and both passports: 7 Feb 2012


There is definetely one tricky bit that I played right, put here to share:

On 1 Feb 2012, I send an email to LiverpoolEuro.PassportReturns@ukba.gsi.gov.uk asking the progress of the application. They replied extremely promptly within 12 hours and said that "According to our records, your documents are currently located within
our despatch department. You should therefore, receive your documents within a few weeks."

Once receiving this infor, I sent another email on 4 Feb asking my husband passport back. They replied by saying it has been depatched yesterday and I received it this morning.

I don't know whether this will work for everyone but it is better to check the status of application. They tend to be responsive.

Good luck everyone.

i have both mine and my wife's passport that i asked them to return me in december and i applied on 18 august , Also i got same response " you app has not been concluded yet" when i asked them about my RC, so you gotta hold on to it! just be patience... i have tried everything from going on holidays excuse to emergency excuse but they did not issue me RC yet. dont panic! i am sure you will get it with out her passport! they probably copied it!

[cutesmile]

Thank you for your encouraging words mate,i pray to God he will do it soon for me and for you and everyone who are waiting for their Residence card.

Did you send your and your partner's passport back to home office again?
