[quote="lguimaraes"]Hello how are you?
My name is Leandro, I'm a non-EEA. I read about your application on the forum. I'm sorry for your case is taking that long!! I also saw other 2 cases of unmarried partners that is struggling to get the visa.
I came to England in August of 2015... I used to live with my partner (german national) in Ireland for 5 years. My partner works in a international company and was reallocated to London, due to this change I had to apply as a unmarried partner via EEA-EFM form to live in the country.
We applied on the 14/8/2015, and on the 26/8 I sent the biometric info on the PO, and haven't heard since!!!
I sent together with the application my 5 years visa from Ireland (
Stamp 4 EUFam) and the Irish immigraton letter with the approval of my citizenship given in 2013. plus every possible documentation, old and new ones! It is being more than 3 months just waiting, this is depressing, you feel like a shit and useless!
Could you tell me your timelime since you applied? I want to have an idea about time!
I'm thinking to get some advice with SOLVIT
http://ec.europa.eu/solvit/index_en.htm
I think in your case it should be worth!
Thanks!!
Hi Leandro

thank you very much for your concern .. well the standard time of Home Office in giving the Residence Card is around 5 months.. But totally depends on the complexity of case.. The way you have described your case I do not think you will have any problem in getting your visa...
my case was different as I applied twice as unmarried partner which they refused due to silly reasons but now that we have got married we are just annoyed that with all the evidence they have they are still keeping it too long... but since you have so much evidences I think it will be alright with you..
I wanted to ask did you get your Certificate of Application, or did you just get your Biometrics?
My Current Timeline is: I sent My Application on 15/06/15, and got Biometrics on 24/06/15,and then later on my COA wth Right to Work on 17/07/15 and i am waiting since then..
the first Application i sent was on 5th of june 2014 which was refused twice.
what I can Advice you at the moment is to wait for 6 months and then go for Solve it..
