I come from EU country. I have been living in the UK for 6 years.

It can take up to 6 months (or more).
No benefit or speed up due to British spouse.

Yes, you can request docs back without withdrawing.
Do you know how to make a formal request to the home office to request my docs?

There isn't such a number really.

Have you tried https://eforms.homeoffice.gov.uk/outrea ... quiry.ofml ?

Still there's not guarantee they will actually bother to send your passport too soon. There are instances on this forum when people (including myself) had to wait many months to get their id back.

I come from EU country. I have been living in the UK for 6 years.

I filled up the application, sent all the documents for the last 5 years . I made sure that all the details from the goverment guidance where enclose. some of them where missing like letters confirming employment.however I have added for each one of my previous employments alternative evidence(p45, contract of employment and p1).As well, I have added a cover letter explaining why some of the letters confirming employment where missing.

Application was delivered on 11/08/16 ( I sent it by special delivery day earlier)
Payment taken on 12/08/16 under reference EURO LIVERPOOL GBR
Email from HO 08/09/2016
Passport sent back 14/09/2016
Can I request my documents back without canceling my application ?
Permanent Residence Card :Waiting
I finally for my DCPR today

I was expecting to take longer because when I applied I ha several jobs.on the other hand I am confused because the letter from the home office said that have acquired my DCPR was the 5th of April but I did start to work just 3 month later, Can anyone explain me why they counted 3 month before even If i was unemployed and I didnt provide any evidence dated April 2011?

Does it mean that i can apply for naturalization the 5th of April of 2017?

Thank you all for the support and good luck to the ones that still waiting

I'm a non EEA, applied on 6/6/16, payment taken on 9/6/16 and haven't heard anything so far.
My solicitor called Home Office and they told him that we might hear something next week.
So painful!
Anyone in the same situation?

HO moves in mysterious ways.

Yes, April 2017 if not married to British spouse. Apply via NCS so NCS can check on HO hotline before you hand over full AN fee.

Just a quick question. I applied for the Permanent Residence card rather than certificate. I thought it would be a plastic ID-like card, but I received a blue paper document with a vignette of DCPR. Am I supposed to receive the card as well? I don't understand what is the difference between the card and the certificate (other than the plastic card being more practical).
Biometric card for non-EEA.
Certificate for EEA.

I have been following this forum for a while and would like to share my timeline. i couldn't believe i received my decision so quick. just to let people know that i am the non EEA national making the application. i thought my situation was a bit dicey as i am over 21 and have been working full time throughout my 5 year stay in the uk so i was wondering how do i prove dependency on the eea national who is my dad. i filled the application myself without a solicitor and enclosed the application with a cover letter and all the necessary documents. time line below:
Date Application sent: 26 August,16
Application Received by HO: 27 August,16 (special delivery guaranteed)
Money taken out from bank account: 30 August,16
Biometric letter received: 19 September,16 dated on: 15 Sept,16
Biometrics enrolled on: 19 September,16
COA: did not receive any so i emailed HO and requested for it and they sent it
COA received date: 1 November,16 Dated of issue: 28 October,16
PR date of issue: 7 December,16
PR letter and documents received date: 10 December,16

I couldn't believe it as it less than the expected 6 months stipulated time. i'm really glad and excited about this. A key advice to all is to organise your documents very well to make it very easy for the case workers dealing with it. Thanks to all and goodluck to all and sundry.

I made this. I used I think all entries I could find from mid June until today. This uses only timelines from EEA nationals.

x axis is the date HO received the documents. y axis is waiting time until DCPR was received (NOT DCPR date)

Although the sample is of only 37, I think it's safe to say that waiting times have drastically improved from June until August. For example:

18 applications from July. Average waiting time: 130 days
10 applications from August. Average waiting time: 105 days

Hello All,

102 days in total for me

Application sent: 30/08/2016
Documents received: 31/08/2016
Payment taken: 01/09/2016
Confirmation email: 20/09/2016
Documents Requested Back: 24/10/2016
Documents Received: 01/11/2016
DCPR dated: 08/12/16
DCPR received: 10/12/16

You get a letter stating the day you are deemed to have become a permanent resident and explaining that unless you are married to a Brit; you need to wait 12 months from that date to apply for citizenship if you wish to.

I came here first as a student and the worked for 4.5 years. They started counting from the day my course started; although I arrived a bit earlier to look for accommodation. During the time I was looking for accommodation and I was financially self sufficient and had CSI so I think I was exercising treating rights from day 1, and they were a bit measly. But I am not appealing, as it is only a couple of weeks.

I'll be back on this thread in may when I apply for my non-EU husband's PR. See you all then and good luck
