Hello everyone

Good to see people sharing information on this forum. I would like to share too. Today is my lucky day I requested my transfer to London Branch two weeks before now I got positive answer from my HR department that they will forward my request to London branch and it was confirm by HR after calling Home office on basis of COA information about my eligibility to work and live in United Kingdom which I gave them copy. Now I have to wait for interview process I am bit relaxed, not too worried about resident card because I am fed up with travelling everyday 3 hours.

I wishing you all the best to everyone whose waiting for their RC, and please new members who reading this please share your experience about EEA2 application processes I can see many people are viewing this forum but not updating their information. This is forum is all about asking help and receiving guidance and information and sharing your thoughts and ideas to relief the mental stress so please guys share your information. No Hiding be open to all Thank you

2/8/2011 Application received by UKBA
3/8/2011 CoA issued
5/8/2011 CoA delivered

Thought my case could be on a 'fast track' but apparently not!
I'd like to start planning on Xmas holidays but can't be 100% sure RC is issued by then, and rather not to request my passport back before that... well though I guess I'll have to before the flights get too expensive.

thought the same, as i received coa within a week, but still no rc.

Hi everyone

I would like to share good news today that I received my wife resident card ( EEA national ) with passport, we applied together in same envelope with all documents. Now I have to wait for my resident card I don't know when it will arrive and also they send second time COA for me dated September 01.

Just to note that my wife resident documentation card no expires date on it just issue date on it 1st September and type of document is registration certificate and its in blue card with title (UK RESIDENCE DOCUMENTATION FOR A NATIONAL OF AN EEA STATE)l
received 2nd class royal mail and post man didn't ask for any signature even

All original document with Home office let see how many days I have to wait and hoping for the best .I hope this information is helpful those are waiting for their RC or about to apply EEA1 and EEA2. I will update more information once I will received anything.

Thank you to all

Hello, I'm Spanish and my husband Argentinian.
We want to apply for his residence card on October, after coming from a trip we have to Spain. I know it's impossible to get the Residence card before Christmas but... in that case, what happens with the COA if we ask for the return of documents on December?
Is it still valid for 6 months more and he can apply again for the residence card in January?

I hope I made myself clear!

Hi guys,

I have finally applied my eea2 but no news.

My timeline:
16aug posted my documents with an expired insurance cert.
17aug ukba received
24aug posted my updated insurance cert.

its been 1 month now and I havent received any COA. Need to travel back home in mid Oct. Dont know what should do now - I should send a fax requesting my COA, wait for 10 days and request my passport back after? Sounds risky if they dont reply and too rush for requesting my passport. Can I send the fax requesting my COA and passport in the same time? It says on the ukba website that they will post the passport back within 5 working days, anyone received more than 5 days?? think I have seen some applicants got them like 10 days...

Thanks in advance and good weekend everyone

I don't believe asking them to return your PASSPORTS will delay anything concerning your application processing time.

Example: I asked my and my wife passports on the 19th sept. Just 4 days i received it. Why some people said IT'S gonna take them 3 weeks to return it to me :p Hopefully my RC will come before november.

Apply FIRST and give them 4 weeks for COA. Then after you can ask for returning ya passports.

In some cases they ask you to return passports for them to make there decision.

Point of correction! Someone got his Residence card within a month :p

It's can be your Christmas gift

Always be CALM! From what you wrote on here ? shows you are rushing too fast.

Did HOME OFFICE ask you insurance cert update?

If your application is not up to date? Home office will return everything single of ya document within 10 working days. And ask you to provide more.

Yes i received mine within a week. I called and wrote a letter to home office in liverpool , and E-mail online aswell.

I wish you the best.

Thanks

Hey all, good news!

Two red "Something for you" cards were waiting for us after getting home from a weekend away, one card for my wife and one for me. As we aren't expecting any deliveries and it was Special Delivery/Letter/Signature required, we can only assume it is our passports and documents being returned to us. Unfortunately we won't be able to collect the letters from the local delivery office until Wednesday, but this brings great hope!

I will update you all on Wednesday with full details.

But for now, a tentative timeline update:
EEA2 App Sent: 10th June 2011 (Friday)
UKBA Receives App: 13th June 2011 (Monday)
COA Received: 9th July 2011 (Saturday)
Resident Card Received: 24th September 2011 (Saturday)

TOTAL TIME FROM DATE SENT TO DATE RECEIVED:
106 days or 3 months 2 weeks
