I've applied for permanent residence as a family member of EEA (spouse). Well, the timeline is next:
Sent application 12.06.2015
HO got the app 15.06.2015
Money taken 18.06.2015
And till now nothing happens, HO keeps silence :evil:
Are you non-EEA? If yes, at least you should have the Biometric letter by now. They are not issuing COA unless you submit your biometric.

Is that enough sending 5 p60 for 5 years proves I got all payslips but I receive my wages weekly Soviet got over thousand payslips nd I can't send them all with photocopies?
Hi Indianlonly

I am applying using the new form and guidance available since 20th July. It looks like they have dropped the need to photocopy all documents. The line which required this has been removed. This is great news and should save a lot of administration time and paper!

The rest of the form has been simplified slightly however all the required proof of residency and economic activity documents remains the same.

clacar wrote:Hi everyone,
I see someone waited for a month for the confirmation of application, well I've now been waiting a week for confirmatmion of appeal. I thought I would fill people in. Last time it only took a couple of days - with the real application. PUlled it from the bank and letter through the post. Anyway, no joy so far, I was hoping it would be a quick process as an EU-national appealing. Anyway, we will see.
Still no news Forza? That's ridiculous, I've been reading the threads also about residency etc in other EU countries and yes it is just non-sense in Britain. And yes, to have looked at my reply again, it was very partisan, in fact strange, so there is of course subjectivity in this world.. something about my application didn't appeal to the woman, I think she thought it was "too casual", despite the fact that it was correct. I wanted to mention that because with all this waiting you can see that something's not right with the system of application. I mean some people waiting 3 weeks and others 4 months and more? I think incidentally that it could be to do with having applied before the biometrics and they ahve sort of left 3 or 4 people in charge of that bundle and just taken the rest of the staff to the new applications, so that minimal staffing is working off the old applications. That's only reasonable explanation to be honest. Anyway, good luck to all, hope you don't need to wait much longer Forza, and yes be interesting to hear about appeals, should anyone have gone through that process as EU. Cheers Clacar
Hi clacar, unfortunately still no news :( I am seriously struggling to understand how difficult to make a decision in 5 months - and still waiting...I seriously thought my case was the most straightforward case ever and I would receive my PR in less than 3 months - but so here we are now!
The decision made on your case sounds wrong and unfortunate one. Good that you appealed. Let us know how it goes.

When I had applied for RC a few years back, got it in 6 weeks flat. May be things are moving a bit slower than usual at HO lately.
Same here liquidweb...when I applied for RC, I received it a lot quicker - as far as I remember less than 2 months. Perhaps changing the system to biometrics application has made it slower...

I have raised a FOI request to HO asking them to send stats on EEA4 from when biometrics were introduced till now. Let's see if they respond as I am intrigued.

All its written , issue date
and document certifying permanent resident.

Does it not say 'No Restrictions on the holder's activity in the United Kingdom'? If not then you have received Residence Permit and it should just have an issue date and a shiny little hologram on the top left. It is possibly on a A4 sheet.

Interesting. Though I suppose I am expecting a biometric card and not placed on my passport. Suppose it is the new layout. Well you are one of the few lucky ones who has received their PR this month. So enjoy it ! :)

Yes that would be interesting to hear from HO on PR since biometrics were introduced. Please share with us if you receive any data from the HO...

Hi Forza and other people waiting for more than 4 months!,
That really is crazy that you've been waiting for this length of time. Mine was a peculiar wait too.. because EU usually is just a month or two, so yeah there are anomalies.. I see also that Imran.. was waiting for 5 months with application at the beginniing of March, so my theory about having set aside a couple of people may well be true. Anyway, I really hope your wait and of course that of others will soon be over. I should have a look at another forum regarding appeals by EU. Will be interesting to find out about waits 2015. Anyway, I think this is pretty much my last post. I think that getting permament residency should be a lot easier and more efficient. The movement of people who have lived in a country and speak the language should be answered quickly, after all it is also of course an advantage for the UK to be getting new people who have already adapted to the culture. To wait for 5 months to get a residency document is too long and to then have to pay 1000 pounds to become naturalised is ridiculous. In Germany it costs 150 Euros as Eu and without intermediary steps of residence. Best of luck to everyone!

Hi Haazi12, welcome to the forum. Best of luck - hope you will receive your PR the soonest! We have not heard any non-EU applicants received their PR since biometrics introduced in early April.

Are you an EU citizen or non-EU? Let us know if you hear anything from HO.

Anyone sent application in July. I sent mine yesterday and I sent my application original and copies and the new application does not require copies and original ( required only original) and I didn't include my last payslip because it was missing is that big issue and enough reason to reject my application? My application following reg (15)(1) (f).

Hi liquidweb, yes it's really annoying process. EU citizens receive their PRs in less than 2 months but for non-EUs timeline is really too long. I applied over 4 months ago and have no idea when this waiting will be over.

Hi Indianlonly, I do not think not including your last payslip would be an issue at all and it would not be a reason for HO to reject your application. Did you include P60s for the 5 years period?
