Dear ally007
I'm Non-eea married to sea(french) live here for 8 years now.
I'm holding residence permit before now I just apply for EEA(Pr)
I sent all my p60 during 5 years and council tax etc.
I thought my application should be pretty straight forward .
Please advised.

Hi Augustinee, You've done your own part and the rest is left to HO. Remember most of non eea applicants received their documents back after 5 months which is really really long but what can we do than to WAIT. The funniest thing is that.. everytime the postman showup, what I do first is check if he is carrying a big envelope... lol Dementia with style.. lol
Goodluck and keep updating us.

Anyone changed his address online ,
I changed my address online few months ago and they said shortly you will receive confirmation mail but I haven't received any mail from them and I haven't received my coa yet
Applied 7 August
Biomratic 21 August and was done same day
No coa yet but I changed my address online but haven't receive any mail from home to confirm the change .
Anyone got any idea why ?

Call HO and make sure that they have right address cos i had the situation that waited very long for coa, lost couple jobs cos of that and when i asked ho my wife's passport back it appeared that they've sent it to my old address. After few calles to ho at last caseworker called back and put note in the sistem about my present address. After that we got passport back. Untill they were sending everything to old address. Although I gave them new address.

I was wondering Non-eea , All have to do Biometric.?

Hi am EU member want to apply for RP card got application from of 85 page's haven't got a clue where to start is anybody knows what pages or sections need to fill in please
Thanks

Hi Lukas24, having struggled with this form myself, I later realised that we do not even have to fill in the form to apply. A simple cover letter with supporting evidence will do! Here is a link to the EEA caseworkers guidelines : https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... s_v3_0.pdf
From Page 19 of this document:

An EEA(PR) form can be used to submit an application. However, you must not refuse or
reject an application because it is not on the right form. A letter requesting a document
certifying permanent residence or permanent residence card, or an application made on one
of the previous forms (EEA3 or EEA4), is acceptable as long as:
 the correct fee is submitted with the application
 the applicant gives their biometric information if they are a non-EEA national applying
on or after 6 April 2015

Hope this helps.

Hello ..did you use a cover letter? Has anyone tried without a form and received a COA?

I think I might be in trouble. I just back to check what I have sent to Ho and I realise I wrote my husband year of birth WRONG . I wrote my year instead. Stupid me. >.<
I'm sure HO always have eyes on details and they will see it which mean they have right to reject my application .?

Hello ..did you use a cover letter? Has anyone tried without a form and received a COA?

Hi Patience,
Unfortunately, I did not and wasted so much time filling in a form that it was changed and I then refilled an updated one! But I have since come across posts of non-EEA nationals applying using cover letters and supporting documents and getting their COA and PR's, apparently without any additional delays. Their advice: keep the application simple. All you have to prove are the grounds on which you are entitled to PR.
Hope this helps.

edit: Here is one such forum post: http://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-ro ... m#p1278283

There are other posts suggesting that you include "not required" or "not relevant to EEA PR status" against questions of the form that are irrelevant and unnecessarily intrusive. I do wish I had done that.

Ah... i see . Thank you very much Mullos for sharing me with your timeline. I'm too paranoid i think.
I called the Eu citizen advice they said if I wrote wrong date of birth just sent cover letter to same address and it should be ok.
Now I will try to relax ^_^
I will keep everyone update if have something coming up.

Hello Saayas,

For the family permit you mean like residence card.? Do you know why they not allow you to work.?
When i was apply those in 2010. Non-Eea like me also allow to work and I got the application back after 2 months and a half. Pretty quick actually. Only now I apply EEA (pr) seems longer to me.

Usually HO pretty straight forward especially with EEA should not have much problem about it.
Your solicitor is look after it at the moment.? May be chasing it up is a good idea.
I know how you feel to wait very long. I wish you good luck.

keep us posted. I will follow ur post
