lannalondon1 wrote:Hi Carolms,
First, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. This shouldn't happen. I was in a similar situation last year when I had familly emergency and wasn't able to travel. However, UK must change the way they are dealing with residence card applications. And as long as no one is complaining or escalating to EU level, they can get out with doing this.
There is no way on Earth that would sit and do nothing if I wasn't able to travel home and be with my family in difficult times. If I were you I would explore Law, talk to lawyer, see if you could make an official complaint against UKBA before International Court, sue them, ask for compensation for not been able to attend a funeral of your father. On level of importance life and a family have a far more priority than living in this rainy country. And UKBA has to come to terms with the fact that not all of us are applying for RC because we want to live here and exploit the system. I don't event have a GP, I pay taxes,unreasonably high rents and go to private doctors, don't have right to resource on public funds and I don't need them. But I hate to be treated as if I am some kind of a refugee who would do everything to stay in the UK. I am staying here because of my partner, who is European and if UK prefers not to allow Europeans and their partners to live and work in the UK than that should simply leave EU! I am sorry if I am whining here but it does make me very upset that sometimes this bizzarly long process that should last maximum 1 month not 6 months, is not allowing us to live normally and have basic freedom of movement that we all must have.
If you would simply go public about that case (not being able to attend a funeral of your father)I'm sure you will make an impact.However, i understand you probably don't want to do that until your case is resolved. But at least made UKBA clear how their lack of resources and time brought you a lot of grief which should not have happened! Something needs to happen to make UKBA change the way they are dealing with RC's
Exactly the same thing with me. I called the 150 number and they informed they do not have access to the status of the application. "You will have to wait". Even though it is an emergency they dont want to help.asamant18 wrote:is there any way to ask from HO to send my eea2 quick any thing please?
I don't really think so..i just called the helpline number 0150 to ask for an update....the guy on the phone was really helpfull...but said to me to wait as he cannot disclose any information ...when asked is there n e way to speed up the process,he said that different teams have several cases to handle and depends on which team your case has been allotted....
so all i hope my case is in the hands of hardworking team and not that with lazy ones
I have also noticed a trend, so you reckon they post the RC's out on Thursdays?newbieholland wrote:Exactly the same thing with me.

Dealing with UKBA is really a nightmare. Is there any specific day of the week that they send out the RC . Do people here tend to receive it on any specific day of the week ? ( I have seen lots of posts on Fridays). I guess that`s the last hope.
The standard email reply to ROD says "Please note that we are unable to give you estimates of when your documents will be returned."
wtf?
I strongly feel they post the RC`s on Thursdays which is normally received on the Fridays by many of the members here. Well, we shall see when we receive our respective RCs.craxy1102 wrote: I have also noticed a trend, so you reckon they post the RC's out on Thursdays?

I called to chase it up yesterday and I was told all my requests are on the system and I was told it's up to the caseworker as to what they want to do.
After requesting my passport on the 14th, I received a reply from ROD saying that my request cannot be complete and that I have to write a letter to the Liverpool address, the customer service on the phone found it funny and strange, I guess they wrote that e-mail to me to stop me from repeating my request, because I've sent it over 6times.
She said I just have to wait to receive it, there's nothing the customer service can do to facilitate things.
HO needs a big haul, I guess they are just busy and overloaded at the moment.
