Date of Application: 25 Feb 2010
RC dated: 19 Aug 2010
Date Received: 10 September.
It has been a really stressful time for us just like so many others. We hope that all of you still waiting will receive good news soon.
I must confess that I am a little annoyed that when I telephoned UKBA shortly prior to completion of 6 months we were being told "still under consideration" even though the RC and accompanying letters were all dated prior to my telephone call.
BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ALL.

Why do you think they didnt stamp on your passport?Why on just a piece of paper,while many applicants have their stamp on passport!!!

It seems those who request their passports back before the application has been completed are being issued with these documents..

When did you complain to the Northwest complaints dept. Keep in mind that they do take upto 20 calendar days to get back, thats their SLA 9Service Level Agreement)

Just thought I'd let my background be of use to anyone who may have applied around the same time.
Applied 23/02/10
COA dated 10/03/10 received 24/03/10 (mix up with the postwoman, however)
Called on 24/08/10 and was told my application was in the "Finalisation Department" but couldn't tell me when it would be sent out
Called on 01/09/10 and was told my application was sent out on 28/08/10.
Received RC on 03/09/10 stating that is was issued on 13/08/10.
I applied as an unmarried partner and provided as many documents to prove our 'durable relationship' through four countries as I could. The UK Border Ageny didn't request any additional documents or return any they deemed unnecessary.
I only sent one letter out at the 5.5 month mark (exactly 2 weeks before my RC says it was issued) but did not constantly call or write them for updates.
While I think that nearing the 6-month mark people should definitely make enquiries as to their progress, I think that applicants who constantly inundate the UK Home Office for information do delay things for everyone else. There are some people on this forum who started making enquiries to both the Home Office and local MP's after two months! I don't think it's fair to the rest of the people who apply and understand the wait involved for some other applicants to think their cases should be resolved in half the time! Just my opinion after reading through every single post on here!

Hello Every1, i applied for my eea2 application and it was refuse on fact that i didnt supply enough evidence to indicate that im depending on my uncle before arriving in the uk.
My appeal is in some weeks time, my girlfriend is pregnant and due next month and we have been living together along with my uncle for 1 year now as well, plus i ask my mum to help me get an affidavit of support from nigeria ..
I will like to know if anyone has a clue about my chances of winning the appeal.

How long do they take to return the appication, if the application is not in order or in need of more documents? My friend's wife applied two weeks back.

I actually sent application the second time, because first application was returned.
I sent my application first time 1st of August, but it was returned after two weeks of waiting. Because I didn't attach my husband's WRS documents.

Unfortunately, they don't ask to send any documents anymore, they just return application back with letter which says about needed additional documents. But 4 months it's a quite long time to wait so You should hope to get Residence Card without additional documents

I think you should have enclosed your passport !If it was in DVLA,you should wait or recall the passport before you send the documents to UKBA.
UKBA is more important than DVLA
IDENTITY is crucial!

thanks everyone. because my bf send his passport to DVLA before we decied to do eea2, and we though we can send his ID card, but his ID card was expaire. and he travel a lot so cant really send possport. do they issue coa without by bf's id? Do they must issue coa before they issue the RC? they didnt send back the documents and ask more document, so i dont know my statuation now. but we are try to get my bf new ID now.
