Thanks mate, I never gave up and I won it now I'm going to apply for British on the same bases( 6 yrs of relationship with EEA spouse but regardless of marriage which is only 4 yrs) that was how I applied for PR first I got refused then they apologized and granted me
I hope this time will work quicker good luck to the rest of you.

Good to hear, congrat

What visa was u on before marriage??? And did u apply eea2 ?? Was it after marriage???? And in your eea4 did you sent proof of residance before marriage initialy when u sent ur eea4 application? As u said after refusal they asked for documents before marriage??

Any info will be helpful as I am in same boat!!!

Thanks mate, you can read all my posts and I had a strange story,, well it wasnt strange but nobody was agree with me but I was right and I won
Here is all information:
I lived with my EEA spouse from January 2007 and got married on November 2008 got my RC on 2009 which ends 2014.
I applied for PR on February 2012( 5 yrs of relationship with my EEA meeting all the requirement as treaty rights and residance) regardless 5 yrs marriage or RC. I got refused on August 2012 with appeal, appeal was withdrew by homoffice and asking documents before marriage!! I got PR this week dated 05/03/2013
Now I'm not waiting for 1 year to go over PR, I will now apply for Naturalization based on 6 yrs durable relationship(January 2007-2013)
If you have the same story, don't hesitate and read UKBA website. Good luck mate.

I had no visas as I was an asylme with refusal!! so I was only living here under NASS support , 2_yes I sent only the documents before marriage second time( as they requested).

Oh same as me!!!
So did you not included documents before marriage in your origional eea4 application?

Here is my story
I am applying for EEA3 but not sure if my wife able to apply for EE4, here is the case:

living in uk 2003 claimed asylum.

got married with German national in January 2008 who moved from Germany and start living with me. (as i was on asylum and cant get married here in uk so we donr proxy marriage in our country)

March 2008 made application for EEA1 and EE2
Aprial 2009 made application for COA, Coa mean premission to merry, received April 2009
Registered marriage in uk may 2009
received EEA1 and EEA2 May 2009,

My wife applied for eea3 in jan 2013 whic is issued and pr received within 3 weeks then I made an application for eea4 in feb 2013 received Coa within week, will see what they will say!!!

Did your wife exercise treaty right and resident in UK for last 5 years and ext? then you should be fine as you are married for 5 years already but I wasn't even married for 5 years, good luck and plz PM me what happened,, update

Yes she already issued eea3 within 3 weeks!! So no problem with exercising treaty rights, just the marriage problem as uk does not accept proxy marriage but I was living together, hope they will not refuse

I made an eea4 application on 6th march and requested our passports back on 9th and they only returned my non eea passport on 15th and send many emails to them to request my eea passport and received today 25th with the letter dated 19th. on the first letter it says data proc tm liverpool 1 and now on the letter it says caseworker name with NWEURO8 so anyone had received they pr from this department, just wondering they quick on slow issuing pr

Ours is dealt with by NWEURO8, and one month overdue (i.e. seven months old).

I just sent a formal complaint to the Customer Complains Department, Rob Whiteman, and put my local MP on cc. Lets see if I can get some traction on it now.

Hi dsab85, what is NWEURO8? mine was the same(I guess group or person) and I complained to the people you have mentioned and with in 3 weeks I got my PR, good luck and i hope you will get it soon.

Great day today, as i just ring HO on friday and someone very nice there confrim me that its in final stage, but today i receive a call from my solicitor that my PR has received today, so YES i got my PR this afternoon from his office, thanks to allmighty ALLAH. All i say, it was stressful time to wait for, especially after 6 months. Good luck to all who are waiting.
Here is the short stroy of my PR process...
EEA4 applied in mid-september 2012
COA received in mid-october 2012
PR received today, 26/03/13
So, alltogether it takes 6 months and 2 weeks

Hi guys,
I just got a lovely envelope from my postman and it was from HO! Just to give a timeline and some hope to guys who applied for EEA 4 and EEA 3.
Applications sent 19/10/2012.
COA received 24/10/12.
PR for both my husband (EEA national, blue endorsement card) and myself (non EEA national, PR endorsement in passport) stamped 25/03/2013 and received today, 28/03/2013.
Phew, happy days (dances a jig around a living room)!

Congrats, guys now im planing for BT what do I have to do? if I only apply for it by using PR what do I have to do? do I only need PR and life in uk test certificate or what else? Many thanks

I received my PR today- 28/03/13

My timeline:

1. Applied on 10/10/12;
2. Received by HO 11/10/12;
3. COA received 24/10/12 dated 17/10/12;
4. PR received 28/03/13 dated 14/03/13.

I have read this forum extensively since October, and the best nuggets of advice I can give, to tip the scales in favour of success are:

1. Pray. God blesses all efforts;
2. Be organised i.e. don't leave the HO with any additional work. Make sure all documents are in chronological order, and you have a covering letter explaining all the documents you sent, in the order they are arranged in the envelope. BRIEFLY highlight all you have sent;
3. Make sure you write in standard English when explaining any complicated matters. Very important. Ask a friend if you aren't fluent.
4. Pray some more.

I'm not saying this is what led to my PR being granted, but clearly it didn't hurt my application.

Also, I didn't bother applying for EEA3 for my European wife. I don't quite understand why many EEA4 applicants think they have to do this before/ during applying for their PR! Can someone enlighten me? Thanks.

Good luck everyone. I will still be checking on this forum regularly. I am more than happy to be of help, where possible, to one and all.

Aluta Continua.

I endorse what you wrote...

It is reassuring to see some PR confirmations coming through especially for October applicants of which I am one.

As my application is still pending and 2 weeks to the 6-month mark, I have taken the liberty of sending a reminder letter (by SD) to the UKBA asking if they require any further supporting docs to facilitate the conclusion of my application. This will perhaps prompt them to fish out my application if still in a forlorn pile.

I will keep this group posted.

I'm glad to see progress is being made. Congrats to those who have received their PR.

My application was sent off the last week in September; I didn't receive the CoA until January. We put in a request to get my husband's passport back last week, and I am hoping that they decide to just send it all back with the decision. This waiting sucks!

Best of luck to all those still waiting.

After I lodged a complaint with the Complaints Department and Mr. Whiteman (with my local MP on cc) we just received our documents back with the residence card.

EEA4 sent 03 September 2012
EEA4 received by UKBA on 04 September 2012
Requested return of EU Spouse Passport 26 September 2012
EU Spouse Passport returned 02 October 2012
COA received 12 October 2012 (dated 09 October 2012)
Sent complaint on 25 March 2013
Received Response from EU application Teamlead that application has been processed and was provided with Tracking # on 27 of March 2013
Received PR and documents on 02 April 2013

My gf and I have been waiting for 6 months and 1 day.

I have just called the home office and they are saying to just 'wait' there is nothing they can do.

I applied for PR on February 2012( 5 yrs of relationship with my EEA meeting all the requirement as treaty rights and residance) regardless 5 yrs marriage or RC.

I am going to apply in June based on living together 2 year and 3 years marriage. I am planning to write an cover letter each steps with the proofs but my only concern is I am planning to apply without passports since it is summer and we are planning to go summer holidays and also in september we have to attend 2 wedding outside of UK. What do you guys think is it possible to apply without passport?

A refuse, as your case is not very strong based on what you planning, you might go for your holidays then come back and apply.
I applied same as you(3.5 years marriage+1.5 year before marriage) still got refused but won at the end(13 months). Good luck mate
