I just got my PR. It arrived Monday 6th of Sept. My lawyer just informed me today though.
Time Line:
HO received Documents 26 Feb. 2010
Confirmation letter received 31 March 2010

Called 2 times before the 6 month period I was informed that it is still with the Case work Team awaiting consideration.

Called on the 26 of august just when 6 months elapsed I was told my case is in the final stages.

Received my PR by mail on the 6th of September 2010.

Total waiting time 6 months and 10 days.

Reading the forums everyone who was told itâ€™s in the final stages got their documents back with a positive decision within 2 weeks. Including me.

I guess â€œFinal Stagesâ€

congratulation , when did HO inform you that your application was awaiting consideration , my apllication will be 5 months today with HO, and when i called yesterday , i was told my application is awaiting consideration .

the last time i was told its with the case work team awating consideration was around the 5 months period. You also have to remember that PR are issued a month before you recieve your doc. by mail. Around the time i was told it was under consideration was the same time my PR was dated. Not sure why.

Hi All,
Just writing to advise on the timeframe of my application:
Sent application to the Home Office on the 15th of March and today (10th of September) I have received all my documents back with my Permanent Residence Card.

So it took a bit short of 6 months.

The residence card is in one A4 sheet as I had requested my passport back and they didn't bother requesting the passport to put the stamp, which is fine.

Next step is the citizenship!

I am really happy today!
My situation: arrived in 2005 as a tourist and applied for an unmarried partner visa - at the time this was the EEC1 form.
I was given a residence permit (a UK residence permit), this pink visa. I had already a civil partnership in Germany but it was not recognized under UK neither European law.

2 years later for extension with form EEA2 and was given 5 years.
But after 3 years (now) I applied under EEA4 as it completes 5 years living with my partner (2 years under a UK residence permit + 3 under the EEA residence card).

Probably they considered that I have been always a dependent of an EEA citizen and that's why I got it.
I was only slightly afraid they could tell me to complete 5 years with the EEA2. But everything fine and sorted

Mamag,
I called them when my application was 5 months old and I was told that it was awaiting for consideration. This annoyed me so much!
But as we have seen other people here, I am sure you will receive yours in about 4 weeks time.
I got mine yesterday and I am extremely happy and relieved! Now I'm checking the British Citizenship section on this forum! Fingers crossed and you will get yours so soon!

hi,
how you managed to call them?
I can not go through the lines!

Thank goodness! My appeal hearing was successful and am now just waiting for my passport to be returned with my PR stamp.

Can anyone tell me how long I will need to wait to get my passport back from the HO after a successful appeal? Is it possible to get it fast tracked in any way?

As a bit of background:
July 2009 - applied for PR
July 2010 â€“ application refused
Sept 2010 â€“ appeal hearing
Oct 2010 - appeal granted

many thanks!

Any recent EEA3 & EEA4 news...What is the current processing times ?

msi786 · Post by **msi786** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 1:46 pm

I am so happy to receive PR today

Could not believe it as I was expecting it in December. Thank you to HO for processing it so quickly and to this forum for all the invaluable information.

I have sent an EEA4 application in June, so the whole process took around 5 months. Just a bit of advice - always better send more documents rather than less. Initially I sent my application in April, however it was returned to me month later as I only enclosed the documents proving that my wife exercised treaty rights in the UK, however proof of residence of non-EU applicant needs to be enclosed as well.

Good luck to all of you who are still waiting for the PR!

I'm still waiting for my PR. Applied beginning of July 2010, called today, was told: 'Assigned to a Case worker, awaiting consideration'. Will give them a call by the end of November.

Hi Everyone,

Just to let you all know, that i had my Permanent Residence Recieved today! I am very pleased with the progress so here's the timeframe of my application:

April 25th applied for PR
July the 1st 2010- Documents sent back to me due to the lack of Comprehensive Sickness Insurance. Had to purchase new policy.
July the 6th - fully packaged docs re-sent
COA received 05/08/2010.
26/11/2010 - PR received.

So, in total it makes 20 weeks and 3 days. (just above 4 months).

I would like to thank everyone for sharing their experience on this matter and good luck to those who are still awaiting for their documents.

Wishing you a very magical Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
