Filed our EEA National + Non-EEA spouse (me) joint PR application last week.
Here's our timeline...

Online application filed: 26 Sep 2017
Payment taken: 26 Sep 2017
Confirmation email received: 27 Sep 2017
Documents sent via EPRS: 28 Sep 2017
Documents received by HO: 29 Sep 2017
Biometrics letter received: 11 Oct 2017 (dated 9 Oct 2017)
Biometrics submitted: 13 Oct 2017

CoA received:
Documents Returned:
PRs received:

No progress on my timeline since the quoted post. Over a month since I did my biometrics, I am yet to receive my COA. Emailed them as well - nothing.
Getting edgy now; wondering if the application's stuck...

Hi all,

I finally received my 5 year residence card as the unmarried partner of an EEA National, below is my timeline:

Documents Sent on: 03/07/2017
Money Taken: 06/07/2017
Confirmation email received: 12/08/2017
Biometrics Letter and COA received together: 12/08/2017 (dated 09/08/2017)
Biometrics Done: 12/08/2017
Decision: 08/11/2017

So in total it took 4 months and a couple of days. This is wayyy faster than I had thought, perhaps Home Office had finally hired more people to deal with these applications.

Best of luck to everybody!

Cheers,

Lily

EEA national, single application

Application sent (online/postal): by post 25/09/17
Payment taken: 26/09/17
Supporting documentation sent: 25/09/17
Confirmation email: 05/10/17
Biometric letter received: NA
Biometric details submitted: NA
COA received: NA

Requested return of passports: NA
Online Status: Decided, checked on the 25/11/17

Documents received: 29/11/17
PR cards received: 29/11/17

So overall it took them <2 months from date of receipt of my application and documentation to decide on an outcome.

I think it really helps to send along a very detailed summary of what documents you're sending, what period of time they're for, and what treaty activity you were doing.
