Thanks! By letter, we missed out the delivery and had to go to the post office to find out it was sent by the HO - I almost fainted hehe. In a big envelope, they sent back all supporting documents and decision letters for both EEA and non_EEA national along with a letter which states since when the EEA is a 'permanent resident'. The non-EEA biometric card will arrive within 10 working days since that latter was issued - I guess this will be posted to us as well. It's been a roller coaster but well worth the wait

Hi All,

I want to share my timeline, in return to others who have kindly shared their information with everyone.
Reading this discussion board has helped me to go through the tough time of waiting for my Permanent Residence Card - Thank you

I am a EEA Polish applicant living in UK for over 10 years, I have filled in paper application, and paid by postal order.
Documents I have supplied are:
P60 x for each year of working
1 x payslip per year, unless I have changed jobs and worked in two different places, then I have given one from each job
3 x latest payslips
1 x water, council tax or electricity bill for each year

Application sent – 15/03/2017
Application received by HO – 16/03/2017
Email confirmation received – 02/05/2017
Permanent resident card and all the documents supplied with application returned – 15/05/2017
Date issued on the card is - 08/05/2017

All together exactly 2 months. I was told that this was a very quick turnaround.

Good luck to everyone who is waiting !

Hi all, I've sent my PR application on 6th of April 2017.

I've not received a confirmation email at all, but I've noticed a transaction on my bank account from 'EURO' for £65 - is this the PR fee? Banks could really do a better job describing recipients by the way.

I've got a confirmation of recorded letter I've sent with the papers, but other than that and the bank transaction, I've got nothing else. I'd really like to have my passport back now, as it's been over a month and a bit.

Do I need to write them to ask for my passport back?
Did anyone else experience times this long?

Thanks for help

Hello everyone,
I have been reading these forums for quite some time and I see it mentioned all the time as the payment coming under Euro Liverpool. However, looking on my statement I can see the payment under LTR Family Online, DCJ Liverpool GB. And now I am wondering if this is correct. They have received my application in the last week of March and I haven't heard anything since. I have applied for permanent residence as a EU citizen, no dependents.
I have checked the form I have completed and definitely it is the correct one: EEA(PR).
Maybe someone can clarify my confusion regarding the payment. Or maybe someone happened to be in the same situation and have a positive outcome.
Thank you.

It is quite scary reading that those who sent their applications earlier than I did haven't received their biometric enrollment and COA. I've been stressed for weeks waiting for a biometric enrollment letter and a COA but now after reading most of these comments I am despaired. I sent my application a month and half before my visa expired hoping I would have received a COA so I can continue to work. I haven't!!! Now I can't work!!! How do I pay my bills!!! My main regret is not sending the application 4 months ago! I thought a month and half would have been enough. Lesson learnt the wrong time.

I have sent 3 emails to eurobiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. They replied saying "UKVI is experiencing higher than average intake at present....As soon as we do have more progress on your application I will be in touch"
I have sent a letter to them today. I don't know how this will get them to work but I'm desperate!
Biometric: ??
COA: ??
RC: ??

Just praying for a miracle.

I too sent my application 5th April. Did not receive any confirmation.
So that has become the standard I presume.
As long as you have paid the correct fee there is nothing to worry.
The law says that even if the incorrect form has been filled it will
be processed.
