Guys movement has begun with May Applicant - I have monitored the site since I applied without Posting anything, but giving the circumstance we are all in and the anxiety and long wait, I thought I should share the good-news to lift up the spirit and manage expectation of People. Believe me when I say YOU are next ... It is coming! Good Luck everyone - God bless you and thank you!

Update!
I checked my account yesterday - 07/08/14 - and can see the payment of £906 hanging so that means it was processed yesterday.
To my surprise I got an email today confirming payment has been taken and my application is being considered, it also include a case ID, I guess they wont be sending out letters again and all is done by email now ( I support this if thats the case). I guess that was why they updated the application AN form giving preference to emails as they asked this twice to make sure its correct.
It also says the application may take up to 6 months and if they cant process my application within 6 months they will let me know as soon as possible.
Anyone else got the email too?
Update!

Thats correct still haven't received it. I did call them last week and the advisor confirmed that its not been sent out and he got senior case worker to call me back, who stated that for some unknown reason its not been sent out and he will request it again for me. That was monday, still nothing. Atleast they did confirm that application is with them and no decision has been made.

hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I also applied in July, but looking at May and June forums I don't expect any news before October.
Plus I heard that EEA applications without ILR tend to take longer. Anyone knows anything about that?
