Hi everyone, I am a Nigerian married to an Italian for two years now, I am also waiting for my settled status, its been over a month now, my application is linked to my husbands application, non of us has received any email, I applied on the 20th September 2019, Biometric 15th October, COA 22nd November, still waiting for the decision....... Its taking so long and am so worried, I need to travel for my twin sisters wedding on the 14th Dec, I have called the HO severally, in fact a lady who attended to me yesterday promised to write a note on my application to my case worker since I really need to travel and my EEA family permit visa is expired. I hope I get it soon

Hello Joy,
Thanks to share your timetable.
Your Italian husband applied on the same day as you (20/09)?
He received his settled status or still waiting ?

Yes he did, he's still waiting.

I hope you two have soon good news to share.
I applied on 27/10 ( Living in U.K since 2004 with permanent residence) and still waiting for settled status as well

Thank you, you will get yours soon too, I check my emails every 5mins, am so worried, my husband is so relaxed, I wonder how he does that. Good luck to everyone waiting.

Hi Joy,
When you called the resolution center 1
1. did you mention that your family permit had expired and that you would struggle to show that you have the right to work or enter the UK if you go abroad?
2. Did they say they would expedite your case?
3. Did they recommend that you apply to a Residence Card using the EA Route? (My residence card is due to expire next week and I am still waiting for a decision so wondering if I should also apply for permanent residency on the EA route, even though this won't be valid after brexit)

Yes I did inform them my visa is expired, but they couldn't fast track my application, they lady only wrote a note on my application saying I intend to travel, I was also informed that applying for a residence permit will take time too, so am just waiting for the decision.

But if you apply for a residence permit at least you might get a COA that would allow you to work? at the moment with the expired family permit I guess you would struggle to proof your right to work/be in the UK.

Hi Miguel,
I am still waiting, in fact, I am waiting for my father's Settled status to come through first then will have to continue to wait for mine to arrive. I called EU resolution centre today and they are saying the application is with the case worker at the moment. And it may take another 2 weeks. It is crazy how inefficient the whole process is.
My Student loan application has already been refused. Running out of time.

Hello forum,

Just received Settled Status today 6 December 2019 (in my post on 18 Nov I predicted to receive it the first week of December so that was spot on ).

My COA was on 24 October 2019, and I am an EEA citizen. At the time I was offered Pre-settled Status but opted for Settled Status on the basis of my old Council Tax bills that I managed to retrieve from my local council. I included a PDF with pictures of those bills to my application.

So it took the home office 43 days to process the application. For forum user DanielG (EEA) who applied on 16 October it took about 40 days and he also had been offered Pre-settled Status and also added evidence to apply for Settled Status. So for those EEA applicants who submitted additional proof for Settled Status, count on about 7 weeks for your application to be processed.

Note that I did not go through the agony of making any phone calls to the Home Office. I am pretty sure that if they see COA status they will simply tell you that everything is okay and that you have to wait.

For those who despair: Note that according to the statistics issued by the Home Office (https://www.gov.uk/government/collectio ... statistics) so far only FOUR applications were refused. So hang in there!

Good luck!

Rich

Working is not my problem, travelling is. I can't enter the UK without a visa and I can't apply for a visa even if I travel because I have already applied for the settlement scheme. They said I cannot even leave the UK until I get a decision.
