One of my friend received in 15 days. he applied in April. I applied couple of years back and they took nearly 3 months and I ended up withdrawing my application because I needed the passport for travel reason.
The reason they took so long because in 2005 I was removed from UK..
All the best

Hi ,

No I never had a chance or time to go. I am sure I would get it if I apply but don't have any plan yet. Let me know the outcome of your friend's case.
Also there is no problem when traveling without EEA Family permit as long as EU citizen is with you and have a marriage cert and their passport in hand.
Thanks

Worldbridge would tell you to wait till 15 working days are over. You must start complaining like crazy when 15 days are over. In your friend's case I am sure they will take long time to decide.
Also they don't give any receipt or tracking number here in Dublin so the only way to track is to send them an e mail.

thanks for your reply,
Is it normal not to have a reciept, we thought he didnt get for some reason, Do they give to some applicant ?? And he is planning to go next month even he doesnt get FP, if nothing comes till 10th of july he would withdraw the application and go with out FP,
Wht would u advise????

Hi Diomond,

they don't give any kind of receipt or anything to applicant.
A friend of mine traveled two weeks ago to UK and they didn't ask him any question. He showed his passport and he had family permit inside. His wife was in the car the man didn't even bother to look at the permit and let them go.
Again it depends on luck what you get on the border.
Before you withdraw your application I would recommend you to fax the ECM asking for update instead of sending emails to worldbrige or if you can't find the fax number then write a letter and send it by registered post.
ECM will get back to you within 48 hours.
Try that if that doesn't help then withdraw the application and travel without permit.

Hi dublin3, i hope so, if that is the case he been really very lucky ,got his fp in 14 days, and you know his history as well, but he doesnt believe until he sees his passport, you sure its approval?? wht they write if they refuse someone??

I applied for a Family Permit last week, although i am not clear where i had involvement with WorldBridge and which part was dealt by British Embassy in Dublin.

First we filled the application for work permit online and paid the 6 Euro fee (for passport to be posted back) and also made an appointment for Biometrics.

We went to British embassy on the day of appointment and submitted the documents and signed application and at the same time had the biometrics taken.
We didnt get any receipts or proof of application.

What i am not sure is where was WorldBridge involved in this transaction? Do they work at the Embassy and they took the application?

thanks in advance.

Those who took the biometrics may have been the 3rd party company. You should have received a receipt.

thanks for the comment EUsmileWEallsmile, that's what i originally thought too, but there are three arguments against that -
1. It was within the embassy where the biometrics and documents where taken.
2. Near the window counter where we submitted the docs, there were several notice saying that the Immigration clearance clerk doesnt have any say in decicsion making, suggesting it was a Immigration Clerk not Worldbridge.

3. There was no notice to say that Worldbridge staff exited in that office.

Also i didnt get any receipts of the documents submitted, "Diomand" in the post earlier suggested his friend didnt get any receipts. Should i worry?
