PR Application

[Hugos]

My apologies if this query has been dealt with previously , going by the current timelines, can I please ask if there's anyone whose PR application is now 2 months old ?

Mine happens to be a post ROR Application and has just touched the 2 months timeline.


Comments and suggestions welcomed

Hi Hugos

Have you had biometric done and COA received? If so you just have to wait. It looks like applications based on retained rights to reside are taking longer (2-4 months average) even despite on a speedy process in general due to uncertancy of Brexit. And quick issuing residency card is rather an exeption for this category and only if the application is straightforward. I used to read good article that under this category the applications 1. Considering to be complex cases. 2. Complicated and should be treated under its own merit. 3. Taking longer than usual. Also this category is under PM exeptions department.

Kind regards

You are welcome. We are in the same boat. I applied nearly 7 weeks ago under this category.

"the wait is just brain draining" - I know how it feels. Before I applied never thought that I will be panicing and checking the timeline every single day for several times and waiting for post so desperately

PM Exeptions mentioned you will find on your COA letter after signature. I guess that this category is outside of European Law or something like this.

Hi Hugos

Completely understand... What I did. I asked my employer to check on a website regarding my right to work based on my COA. I explained to him that there is small chance to see if my case is decided or not. At least I expect the answer from HO like this peson is allowed to work while their application is under consideration. So hopefully next week I will get response from HO (they aim to reply in 5 days).

Aslo I check my bank account every single day to see if there is any refund from HO. I know it sounds weird but at least this is something. Also when I sent my documents to the HO I supplied special delivery return envelope with the tracking number given so I can now track my delivery from HO.

As British people like to say: stay calm

Hi,

Are you received any news?
I applied the last 26th of February and I’ve got the letter on March 14th. Since then I haven’t received any news from HO. I’m getting crazy as I never expected that it will take this long. Hope everything is going well.

Regards
