EU Settlement - Surinder Singh paper application - decision times

Post by jestew » Fri Nov 08, 2019 10:08 am

Hi Everyone,

I've started this thread to begin collecting information about how long it is taking to get decisions for Surinder Singh paper applications for EU Settled Status.

I suggest that questions and comments use the existing thread and not this one.

It seems that by submitting answers to the poll the topic is not raised to the top of the list. Not sure how people will find it when they need it.

I’ll bump it with a I’m jealous post. My COA came a week before yours and I’m still waiting!

Question is when you applied and not when COA was received. COA is influenced by many factors, such as when Bio was done.

Hi all,

Have now received my Pre-Settled Status so timeline is as follows:

Application form completed and returned: 19th August (Special Delivery)
Application form received by Home Office: 20th August
Biometrics letter received: 29th (Letter dated 27th August) including return of passports - other documents not yet returned.
Biometrics given: 29th August
Certificate of Application: 2nd September (Letter dated 31st August)
Pre-Settled Status: 20th December (Letter dated 17th December)

So from Biometrics being submitted to decision being issued, timeframe was 16 weeks! Didn't receive any phone calls or email throughout.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!
