Give it a few days, still within the reasonable timeline (even if slightly on the longer end).
Yes, but that would be silly. She can apply for both, but in that case, the best thing to do is wait for the RC and once it is issued, use it to apply for the Settlement Scheme using the Android app. No need to send anything or enroll biometric again if following this order.I wanted to know can she apply for settlement scheme while her residence card application is in progress?
Very likely yes, as both processes are handled separately. What is clear if that she applies to the Settlement Scheme after she has the RC she will NOT need to enroll biometric again.If she applies for settlement scheme while her RC application is in progress, will she have to submit the biometrics again (she has recorded them for residence card)?
Turnaround time for RC is between 1 and 2 months. More than most Settlement scheme applications, but that's certainly not one reason to completely discard the RC. There are a number of pros and cons of both routes worth knowing. Check this post.Its noticed that the turnaround time for settlement status is lesser than waiting endlessly for RC. Her family permit has already expired.
Hi hope you are well , any news about your partner’s application as I’m still waiting .Usr2019 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 3:02 pmHello Minwa,
Thanks for asking. We had decided to wait for the RC card so that we could apply for the settlement after we receive it. We have not received the RC still, not sure how much more time that will take![]()
We called settlement helpdesk for advise but they have no idea about the RC process. First they said it is Ok if we apply while other application in progress. When asked about biometrics (whether my wife have to register them again) they were not sure and said, you can wait for the RC to arrive to avoid biometrics to be taken again![]()
Thanks.

Please continue in your own topic instead of digging up and tagging onto topics that are a year old and where members are no longer active in the forum!!osa12345 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 12:30 pmHi Minwa,Minwa wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2019 4:44 pmHi hope you are well , any news about your partner’s application as I’m still waiting .Usr2019 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 14, 2019 3:02 pmHello Minwa,

I have a similar situation. I am a non-EU citizen married to an EEA national. We moved to the UK 2 weeks ago and I had an EEA family permit. Now we applied for a residence card for me using EEA QP application. However we could not submit a payslip as my wife did not receive her first payslip at the time we made the application. Hence, I am not sure if I will be granted a residence card.
We are thinking to apply for EU settlement scheme as well before my EEA family permit expires... But really not sure what the best move at this stage for us.
Any help or advice is highy appreciated.
thanks
