Hi chriskv1,

Thank you very much.

We moved to the UK at the end of June 2015 from another EU country and I applied RC in early August. I'm married to an EU citizen and was 11 months married when I submitted the application. My husband is EU QP with employer and I just submitted standard documents that requested by HO. My timeline is below. Hope this would help.

Mate are you gonna keep spamming the forum with the same thread?

Who was that for ?

Probably as you appear to have made duplicate posts.

Where are my duplicate posts ? LOL

Can you help with my case a little ? it looks like you guys have experience in these applications.

[Nina Roche]

Congratulations Nina and thx for sharing it feels good to see things moving forward !!
could you tell us a bit more about your case??

Thank you Alex!

Sure. My case is relatively simple.
Married for more than 2 yrs. (Before that lived together over another 2 years, which also registered with French government. )
We moved to London since June 2015, when My husband, EEA national, started a new job here.
Applied in June, but they (HO) returned documents in a month, saying that I missed one signature... @x!#%$%... which I did not. Back then was angry, frustrated, and overwhelmed... It is when I came across this forum.
Re-applied 4th August. This time went relatively smoothly. No questionnaire; no interview ... RC arrived almost exact 5 months of waiting.

Wish you and all the guys waiting get your RC on time!

[fasi2530]

I was speaking about Fasi who doesnt appear to know that spamming is not allowed in this forum !!

besides Ive seen some people posting timelines here, Guys you can share your timelines by putting them on your signature or sharing them on the Timeline Only thread

Can any of the moderators move the timelines to the proper thread? thx

[Casa]

This is why moderators are reluctant to allow long-running threads. They inevitably have members constantly ignoring the subject and posting willy-nilly. Moderators aren't paid by the Board Administrators and it takes considerable time to monitor and move posts to other threads, often in the middle of a busy working day or during family time. It's quicker to simply delete the posts which shouldn't be here and let the members re-post in the correct forum.

[alex1128]

Well I do understand that you are not getting paid but once again I think that's what moderators are for (No Offense) : and monitoring the content of a Long running thread is not that hard if you keep yourself updated .
Perhaps it's high time you guys invite new people to step in and help I know a few people here who wouldn't mind giving a hand .

[Casa]

You get on with it then. Believe it or not, the EEA threads aren't the only ones on the forum that need monitoring. As they say on Dragon's Den 'I'm out' with this one. I believe you'll find the rest of the moderating team will be too.

[alex1128]

I have just given you a simple solution, Why don't you adopt!
From where I am coming, when you face a problem you engineer a solution instead of ignoring it...

just not to go off topic this thread is for EEA2 Dicussions !

[secret.simon]

when you face a problem you engineer a solution instead of ignoring it...

With people, you do not "engineer", you guide, request, cajole, plead.

You may just have got yourself the job. Tell you what, as you are quite active on this thread and in this forum, why don't you moderate it? One does not need tools or title to moderate forums, one merely needs to be persuasive. Moderation is, after all, the art of guiding people to work better together.

So, keep a regular eye on the posts in this thread and the timeline thread and advise people to post in one or the other, as you see fit.

Indeed, if more people did this, it will help improve the quality of the forums all around.

[Casa]

+1 @secret.simon There is one quality Moderators need...an extremely thick skin.

[chriskv1]

Stop it guys. I have to agree with casa here , they're not getting paid to do anything and they have their own lives.

People are ignorant and it's pissing me off . I saw people discussing on the new timeline thread even though there are discussions going on here . And I'm seeing timelines laid out here .

Sigh. There's nothing we can do.

Thank you Chriskv1. Unfortunately (as I believe CR001 has commented) we have the same problem with all the Timeline threads.

[alex1128]

So instead of moving a message posted in the wrong thread you guys choose to start over a Long debate where you refuse to accept solutions and do nothing to solve the issue .

==> Meaning you have time to debate but not to move and reorganize threads !!

You know what I am not getting involved anymore , whoever wanna do something just do it !!

And to all members sending me private messages about this matter, please STOP IT and contact the moderators as they are in charge here!

[secret.simon]

Tati*, thank you for taking the initiative to summarise the timeline thread.

I suggest that either you or somebody else could look at entering the information into an online spreadsheet on Google Docs or Microsoft Office and paste the information into these forums from time to time, as has been done in the naturalisation forums a while ago.

Here is an example: Re: October 2014 - Naturalisation Application Timeline.

That would help the timeline aspect of this thread.

Wrong solution. Persuade people to post in the correct threads, not move posts around for them.

Moderators only use their authority to block threads in extremis. It is up to the users to police themselves and guide each other.

Hi Alex

I think this thread is for discussion related to EEA2/FM-EFM problems. and the question I send it here is I think related to the EEA/FM application. I suppose to get a solution as I believe you guys are more experience and knowledgeable person on this forum. still my question is spamming the thread is really I dont' understand how as its clearly mention on the subject that its a discussion thread where we can get some ideas related to EEA FM problems.

I hope you understand my point of view as well. and I do apologize if make this thread spam as I don't have this intention in my mind.

thanks

Hi All,

Just posting an update to my timeline.....

I will post another update when the card arrives.

Good luck to the rest of the August 2015 Applicants.

Although, this thread is for discussions, I strongly agree with Secret Simon. That is the best way to do timelines. All the info is summarised there, easy for anybody who wants to have a look. I saw a similar thing in the ILR (LR) some time ago, It's just sad that it's not here...

[Teerak]

Hello guys, my better half received all my documents back yesterday with a letter date 11/01/2016 stating I will receive my RC within 10 working days.. Overjoyed n thanks to this forum I was able to package the application very well as I applied few days after marriage. My timeline is exactly 5 months. Time to go for honey moon, since I have to take my leave before end of March... Wish all those with application pending good luck.
