Re: European Enquire Centre saying online status system is wrong

Got my paperwork and my purple card today 01.11. after almost 4 months from date of applying. The online status changed to Decided on 18.10. but they only sent the docs on 26.10. and I only got them now.

For me the stress is over but wish you all best of luck and as little stress as possible!

Re: European Enquire Centre saying online status system is wrong

My case decided on 22.10 but received no documents or post from HO . Decided status change does not mean they sent the documents, it just means they decided on 22.10. In my case it took 8 days from when it changed to Decided until they actually sent the letter. I still haven't received my letter bu...

I applied couple of months ago for the Purple Certificate and only got the acknowledgement of receipt of application letter last week and this was with paying extra for fast track processing.

No one can tell you how long this takes (legally up to 6 months) and there really is not that many Croatian people posting here their experience so we don't have stats either to compare.

Update After 5 weeks my agency finally received the acknowledgement letter "Your application has been received and is being considered" Does anyone know in practice how long will it now take for them to make a decision and issue my purple certificate or refuse and send back my documents? Thank you
