Maximum is 4 weeks, in your case scenario its now time you find out email to the embassy strongly complain.

You may also want at this stage make complaint to solvit and European Commission, I think maybe Solvit can even help you with compensation, not sure though.

what a joke..!!it should have been approved in 4 weeks maximum,u should complain and very strongly..u should wait up to 6 month for a residence card not for the family permit,its an entry clearance visa so it shouldn't take more than 4 weeks,its like u are applying for a short stay visa of 90 days or even the long stay 6 month..just complain to the embassy and also to solvit and the eu commission.

Was this an in-country application or outside?

Residence cards can take up to six months.
Entry visas are meant to be issued as soon as possible and on the basis of an accelerated procedure (at most a matter of weeks).
