Hello,

pls which of the forms will I use to file for my PR as an ex- spouse of an EEA citizen. I divorced two yrs ago and got my ROR last yr. Now I want to apply for PR by March 2017.

If I can get a link to print the form now so that I can take my time to file it and go through it before posting to HO.

Again am I qualified to book for the one day service?

Thanks for your help.

If I want to send another prepaid envelope with my new home adress where should I send it?. would they accept the prepaid envelop if I enclose an explanation letter with my case id?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
I don't know the answer to your question specifically, but you do know you don't need to send them (a prepaid) envelope, right?

Well unless you have a good reason for doing so. :D
I know but I think its better when important documents are send

You can't use same day service to apply for confirmation of PR.

I have been waiting since AUG and I dont have any news. I seems that is taking between 5 and 6 month now. With the exemption of few people in the forum. And it doesnt help to be related to a British National. If it takes longuer that 6 months since they took payment you can call them and enquiry regarding your case. you would need to give them your case id and your personal details.

Write cross-referencing application/case id. Try original address you sent form to; let HO sort out their internal mail.

And set up mail redirection from your old to new address (via Royal Mail).

I applied on 17/6 and they received it 20/6. Still waiting for a response, just like you. EEA national but I must have a complicated case or a caseworker who went on holiday in the summer! Does seem unfair that some people are getting theirs in 3 months, but I suppose that's just the system and at at least our 6 months' wait is up soon.

also if you go to page 122 of this forum, you will see a similar case! good luck

also you better off set up a address redirection with Royal Mail just to be in the safe side, and you may need it anyway for other mails!

Any applicants from May still waiting? It has been over 6 months now and I still have not received the decision :( My application is more complex self-employment case (I also used the older EEA3 form).. I guess that is why it takes so long.

It is very frustrating :cry: Is it worth calling them? I read in this forum that the helpline does not really provide any information other than "keep waiting".

It took 20 working days in total to get it back. I completed the form online twice and also did the complaint for when it takes longer than 10 working days.
