I am a French citizen living and working in the UK and I have requested a UK Residence Card EEA(FM) for my Russian wife (who had already a French and German residence permit).

Application submitted online: 04/05/18
Payment taken on: 04/05/18
European passport return service appointment on: 08/05/18
Received by UKVI/HO on (email received): 08/05/18
Bio letter received on: I don't have the precise date, sorry.
Biometrics Enrolled on: I don't have the precise date, sorry.
COA With Work dated: 22/05/18
Decision letter: None received
DX (delivery service) email received: 18/07/18 Email read "Your Biometric Residence Permit is scheduled for delivery today." This served as our Decision letter since we got none...
Resident Card Received on: 19/07/18 (date of issue: 13/07/18)
Documents Returned on: Waiting

So the whole thing took about a 2 months and a half. Seems to be in the average (about 80 days): https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ ... a_fm_resid
