EEA4 application sent: July 4th
Proof of Special Delivery: July 5th
COA: ??
PR: ??

Since it's been two months I called the UKBA today. They confirmed that the application was received but the lady stated that her database can only show detailed information on applications more than 6 months old, so that's as much as she could tell me. I asked if I could expect a COA and she said yes, but only after the case had its initial review, which evidently hasn't happened yet.

Will keep y'all posted.

hey guys, I just got my RC 10 mins ago. I am unmarried partner of an EEA national, and because we shared an apartment with other people, so I can not open a bank account here, and I can not provide the bills with my name on it, I only provide some letters with my name (like tesco, boots, letters from friends), I sent the application in Feb, but the UKBA sent all the documents back to me ask for more documents to prove we are living together in uk. But my case is I can not provide the documents they asked for, we just sent back a letter to explain it, and then wait. I think my case is a little tricky, cause first of all, we are unmarried, second, we can not provide the documents they asked. However, I think I am very lucky. I hope all of you can get your RC soon. My timeline is:

EEA2 applied: mid of Feb 2012 (can not remember the exact date)
rejected (ask for more documents): mid of march 2012
EEA2 reapplied: 28 march 2012
HO received: 30 march 2012
COA received: early may (dated 20 April 2012)
asked passports back: mid august
RC received: 5 sep 2012 (dated 30 AUG 2012)

Hi anybody to please help me with info whether you've been in the same situation before...
I have applied for residence card (EEA2) as a non EEA family member (husband) of an EEA (Wife) through an immigration solicitor over 3months ago (27th of may,2012).We have an 8months year old baby together and as I said we are married with marriage certificate.We presented all documents stated by the UKBA for EEA2 application even added our child's birth certificate.*Prior to application I had overstayed for 3yrs and on our wedding day UKBA Border force even came there to verify whether it was a sham marriage but they gave us go ahead to marry and appologized for the delaying our marriage due to lengthy interview and knowing that it was not one of such marriage..God forbid!!!

However, we have not received any Certificate of Application or heard anything from them after 3months and 4days of application even after solicitor has followed up with two more letters requesting for one..no reply.
Can anybody help out if there is anything to do or we should stay calm and wait?

Thanks so much for your response I have just called them, the lady I spoke with said because I did not include a special delivery envelope with my application that there is no way she could track if my RC as being sent to me, she said I should write the Liverpool office for status of my application.

Hello zackeea2,
Please Did you include a special delivery envelope with your application?

zackeea2 · Newbie Joined: 05 Sep 2012 Posts: 5

Kingade : I didn't but that's not really the problem. The problem is that they haven't processed it yet! So I call them twice a day to check because as I requested my passport back I am hoping they would process my application and send the RC and my passport together.

Hmmm, so u recon i should call them again that my not including a special delivery envelope should not prevent them telling me the status of my application.
