Application for PR or PR card: form EEA (PR) - UpToDate

nadlap wrote:Hi everyone,

Our timeline is (EEA and non-EEA applicants):

Application for PR sent: 31.01.16
Received by HO: 01.02.16
Biometrics letter dated: 08.03.16 (it was their 2nd attempt, we didn't receive their 1st letter)
Biometrics given: 14.03.16
COA letter dated: 17.03.16
PR: still waiting (it's been 5.5 months since HO received our application)

We need to travel on 18.08.16 to the country I don't need a visa for and we were also wondering if we request my passport back, will I have any problems returning back to the UK with just my passport and COA since my RC expired in the end of May? Also has anyone requested back and received their marriage certificate (maybe useful when returning back to the UK without PR)?

Has anyone who applied in January-February 2016 as non-EEA received their PR yet?

Thanks a lot! And good luck to everyone!

Hi all, I am still waiting for my PR (it's been almost 5 months and 3 weeks). But wanted to ask a couple of questions:

- Do you think if I receive my passport back it will speed up the decision process (since they actually open your application to send your passports back and they can start acting when they see it's almost overdue... otherwise it is just lying on a side without anyone touching it, so isn't it a kind of a reminder for them that they actually need to start looking into it?)
- Does HO always send a letter confirming permanent residence before sending the actual card? And how long does it take to receive the card in case you receive a letter first?
- We have recently called HO and they told us we should count 6 months from the date the payment was received. Have you heard of it before? I thought it's from the date they receive your application? Maybe it was someone not very competent. It doesn't make a big difference but still would be nice to know your opinion.

Thanks a lot!

Just came back from holiday and my partner's PR document was waiting for us. Her timeline:

Payment taken: 07/04/2016
Confirmation email: 06/05/2016
PR dated: 04/07/2016

EEA national straightforward case just like mine but hers took an additional 3 weeks to process!

Good luck to all those still waiting. Hope it comes soon!!

Hi guys!

Good news! On 23.07.16 we received all our documents, passport and ID, my husband's DCPR and a letter for me confirming PR (the card should arrive within 10 days) dated 21.07.16. I will keep you updated when I receive my PR card, but hopefully won't be long!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm getting slightly worried that although I sent my application over three weeks ago (end of June), the application fee has not yet been taken from my account and I've heard nothing from the home office. Is there any way that I can check on the progress of my application if nothing happens next week? (I will have hit the one month mark).

I'm an EU citizen and I've lived in the UK for 15+ years. My application was pretty straight forward. I sent it by special delivery so I know they definitely received it the day after I posted it. Looking at most people's timelines it seems that money is taken out from people's accounts a few days after the application is received.

Curious to know the difference as I wanted to know if there is a time difference between EU and EEA applicants.

I am EU(14) citizen using the EEA form. So timeline below (unfortunately) relates to EU.
