Hi Oniopapa,
Why did it take that long to process you status? Would you mind to share your background prior to applying in EU Settlement Scheme. Thanks

Hi Eke123,
I am still waiting. Called three times and same answers. It seems there is slow processing because of disruption although public offices working like normal. This can also be done from home. Did you contact them again?

I've contacted them today and they said they'll be in touch with me soon. I should keep my eyes on my emails
The thing is when I did my biometrics I didn't have my passport cos its with HO, but this morning at 9:20 they've received my passport from another HO department that is with it and that's why it's taken this long but they'll be in touch soon I should keep my eyes on my email.
Hopefully they'll be in touch soon and I'll surely keep you posted.
All the best

Hi everyone,

Thank you for sharing your experience on this. I came here as a non Eu national on EEA Family permit in Nov 2019. I applied pre-settled status and here is my timeline:
Application submitted: 7 Jan 2020
Biometrics taken: 9 Jan 2020
COA received : 18 Jan 2020
Haven’t heard anything back yet.

Hopefully it would be soon as my EEA family permit is expiring soon and my employer is worried about my working rights.

Hello,

Being in the same situation (no CoA yet) and my EU settlement scheme family permit expiring in two weeks, do you have any idea about what to do? Apply for some visa extension?

I have the issue to prove my right to work. I have family permit (expires in April) and COA, but all employers ask me for pre-settled. I don't know what to do, I need to start to work. Is there anyone else in this situation? I applied on 20th of January and Coa recevied on 28tg of February. Nothing after that.

Hi Makicaaa,

Don't worry too much. Ask your employer to do a right to work check online and the home office will confirm your right to work. Even for right to rent, the home office will confirm your rights.
Hope this helps
