HI Guys,

Just red an article on Indepndent,
It says as of 31 Aug 188,600 people 14% are still waiting for decisions.

It also says they are hiding decisions on growing backlogs that will tarnish govt no refusal mantra.

I am scared now. :(

I guess most of these 188K people are those of us who couldn't produce our ex-spouse's valid ID. Something weird is going on. I am yet to meet anyone who's got a decision based on ROR and could not produce the ex's valid ID.

I provide his reference number( he was granted settled status before I applied) but i am in same boat. Application done 25 August, Coa received on 27th but nothing heard since that. I am quite worried now. Why its takes long? 🤷‍♀️🙁

@iibdii I uploaded 2 proofs of my residence with my wife (council tax and tenancy agreement), my wife's passport, her birth certificate, our marriage certificate and our family registration certificate. I called the HO a couple of time and explained why I need my decision as soon as possible. They put a note in my file everytime. But haven't heard anything. Do you think involving the local MP would speed things up? I can wait for another week but I have seen people waiting for 3 months or so and I don't want that for myself.

I am thinking to contact them but i do not know what to say, i mean i am not on hurry. My BRP expires in 2022 so this means i have all rights til December 2020(deadline date), but on the another hand i am really worried why it's takes long. I am family member to EEA since 2012. First family Permit granted in 2012, then after divorce Retained right to residence granted in 2017, so they have all this information(hopefully 🤷‍♀️🙈) so only thing i had to prove it was no absence during this time, which i did. So what they are checking more? Plus i gave them his reference number(he got settled status already) Why it should take this long? Some friends of mine got approved in 1-2 working days. 🤷‍♀️ I am worried and confused.

Hello again Dr khan, please understand they might need to wait for the turn for decision, but when i called i said i dont mind how long you take for decision but i need certificate of application so i can prove that i can work. I suggest ask for COA only once you get it you will be able to start work and let them take their time,
You can ask local MP depend on where you based, where i live there are almost No foreign people so my MP returned my call within 5 minutes, in the end i asked them Not to contact HO for now because they didn't know much & didn't wanted them to mess something up

I do not think this is a case, provide them "Sponsor's" ref means that you giving them not only ID, you giving them all information about him/her but still nothing heard from them, so thats not a case to not providing EX Id to worried about. I think is something els going on 🤷‍♀️

Been a while since I've been in this forum; wife and I applied for a Reg Certificate and Residence Card, respectively, back in 2017, when we moved to the UK.

Our EUSS timeline, so far, below (with additional details for reference, comparison):

Applicants: EEA wife + EEA daughter + Non-EEA spouse (yours truly) with EEA2 BRC

2019.09.07 - Applied w/ Android App and completed the online form
2019.09.07 - All 3 COAs received

Now waiting for either a request for more documentation or the outcome. Some extra details...

- my application, as well as our daughter's, were linked to my wife's application number
- my wife's automated checks were unsuccessful, so we uploaded council tax bills from February 2017 to the present day and her P60s (to April-19) and payslips (to June-19) as evidence of residence
- evidence of marriage uploaded: scan of BRC, translated marriage certificate, extract from Swedish population register
- evidence of parent-child relationship uploaded: UK birth certificate

Will update the timeline as soon we hear back. Thanks for sharing, everyone, and hope all goes well.

Hi Bunny 👋🏻 I mentioned already that i gave them his reference number(so gave them all information) but anyway mine takes long as well. That i was meaning that you guys who didi not provide ex Id you do not have to be worried about, that not a reason may they will refuse or takes long. By the way only one person refuse in 1,5 million application and that man had a serious criminal records, thats why. I watched this in Home office official site. So we are not in his boat. 🤞🏻

I have applied on 30th August without BRC . I have family permit at the moment . I have done my bio matrices at the same day . My husband who is French national applied on 22nd August . And he got his Coa and pre settlement status within 4 days . And I have given his id reference number . And I have submitted my eea family permit , marriage certificate and same house residency proof ie council tax bill . And it’s been more then 2 weeks . I haven’t received anything from them yet . So stressful ,I went 2 interviews but got rejected because I don’t have Coa 😢. This waiting game seriously very hard .
