Congratulationsbyronwilliams1185 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2017 5:46 pmHello Everyone,
I have been waiting for 188 working days. ( applied on 24th March from Mumbai) and today I finally got my Family Permit stamped dated 4/12/17. There was no email, no sms, just that the courier guy came and handed the passport. Finally all my stress is gone.
I also received a not straightforward email when I had applied. I escalated for 3 times and waited patiently. For all those who are waiting, just be patient and you will get your FP too.
From all that I researched, I want to share this- If anyone are planning to apply and want their application to be straightforward, provide all the original documents specially of your sponsor(I.e the EEA national). If you cannot provide original, then provide certified copies of passport, national Id, job letter, rental agreement ( you can ask your Eea national partner to get it certified by a notary etc from UK). Provide proof of relationship- pic of you both together( if pics are dated it is good, if not then too will do), original marriage certificate, chat history- get screenshot of Skype calls, whatsapp chat. If you have your pics on Facebook take a screen shot of it too.
You and your partner both should provide a written note about how you met and a little about you marriage etc. List all the documents you are providing.
IMP- count the number of pages of all the documents you will be submitting because at the visa application center they will scan all the papers.
IMP- your EEA national partner should be earning above the avg PTE after tax is cut. So approx monthly salary should be around 1000 and more. If your EEA national partner does not have enough bank balance then you can show your bank balance so as to show that you will have money.
After application just have faith in God and have patience. You will get the FP.
I wish everyone who are wiaiting all the best. I pray that everyone get their visa and join their partner.
Thank you all for the prayers.
Regards,
Byron

Dear Amarula, thank you for sending this Spammy Spammer! I agree with you completly in everything! Speaking about travelling on overground.. i read again on other forum somewhere that they do not let people without UK visa inside at the border. They argument this by "we are told not to let inbody in without the valid visa, this is an order°- Even that the officers agree that is not normal. So i woud say there is a risk not to enter. Nevertheless, i am planning to apply for the second passport. In Russia we are allowed to hold two passports. And without no any answer till 2018 will see what are the options to travel by boat, train with a Shnegen visa and my husband with me.Amarula wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2017 10:23 pmI am in Saint Petersburg.

It is so heelpful to feel that from around the globe people understand you. I applied from Moscow, 14 June 2017. Haven't seen anyone from Moscow here for a long time. Is there anyone who applied from Moscow?
I recieved 3 letters from HO. Last one was on 31st of August. (That my aplication us under consideration bla bla..bla) Since then - nothing.
We asked for a few advice from different organisations. We have been told by all эof them one the same thing - that is useless even to contact MP untill 6 months (since applied) have not passed. That formally HO can keep considering the aplication 6 months.
So we have been waiting untill now.
I also read on a Russian forum about one lady that applied on 7.11.2017 and got refused within less then a month... I started to have a strong feeling that they sent refuses much faster compared to a positive decisions... Usually refuses come not later then 3 months ( in my own experionce from other forums)
Well, i only wanted to share my thoughts to you all.
Keep hoping - hope is last we have!
Whenever they tell you (or anyone else) to wait 6 months it's to fob you off. FP should be issued asap, not in 6 months like residence card (which they often take years to issue too).
So don't be discouraged. Best thing for any of us would be to just travel overground. I would have done exactly that if they didn't lie about their timings! Now we're held hostage with no passports. If I lose patience completely (any moment nowwill just get a new passport and go through Calais etc.
I didnt complain or escalate tho, why should they be making money off me by deceit? How much does it cost us all to be stuck because of their arrogance and inefficiency?
Had I been smarter from the beginning the next best thing after NOT giving them the passport, would be to sue for damages if I had costs for accommodations etc.
Actually my friend and her friend went for appointment on the same day and both of them got the FP after two weeks
Atleast they shud clear it by this week so that we can celebrate christmas and new year with our loved ones..

Regarding your quiery is a different sonario is because as your passport is in UK BA and your application is under consideration the thing is your need to understand is how you gonna get new passport or let say if you got new passport and you arrive at the UK airport when they goona put in computer it will comes up the your passport is with Uk Ba all you need to bear in your mind but still as I this is solely my point of view as I’m not advising (But need to take extra care .......)That’s all I can say ....but if you withdraw your application then you can travel to Uk and you will be free to made application for residence card inside the Uk without any problem
