I am an EU ( Hungarian ) citizen, and I applied for a Permanent Residence Card online on 10/05/17.
Everything went ok, I have sent all of my documents on 11/05/17.
I got my Case ID on 11/05/17 and the payment was taken on the same day.
I have just checked my status and it says : " Awaiting a decision " witch is normal I guess, because this is a really slow process as I can see from all of the previous posts.
So this is where my story ends so far.

I would have 2 questions.

1.) When will I receive the Biometric letter? ( I am a bit worried, because I have applied 7 weeks ago, and had absolutely no reply by any ways ... no letters, or emails except the payment confirmation and case ID at the beginning.)

2.) Has anybody changed their home address while waiting for decision? I have found a form online where you can change your home address. https://visa-address-update.service.gov.uk/ Probably I will move to a different city in the UK around September time. Could this be a problem? I mean it takes such a long time until these services process any kind of data...maybe they would not recognize my changes in time and would send important documents or letters to my old address.

I found this forum very useful!
I hope somebody can answer my questions.

hi there, go into your Checklist pdf that you sent with your application. In there you will find the Unique Reference Number, i.e. 1234-1234-1234-1234. Just enter it in the online search without the hyphens, i.e. 1234123412341234 and then it should work. Good luck!

Thanks.

Have you checked using the royal mail tracking number (NOT THE ENVELOPE INSIDE) but from the actual tracking number of the documents you sent.
What else can you do: Wait until the 6months deadline and write to your local MP
I applied January and still no answer.

You won't have a biometric letter as you are an EU citizen. Only non-EEA family members of EU citizens would have it. I have waited for 5 months without any correspondence at all and recevied the documents through the post too. You will get yours, just be patient.

P.S: I'm Hungarian too.

Non EEA application - Sent 1st february 17
Biometric letter - february 17
COA - 24 february
checked online says not recognised ???

Application submitted online 02/05/17
Application sent 04/05/17
Application received 05/05/17
Biometric letter - waiting
COA - waiting
PR - waiting

Has anyone received their biometric letter who applied in the beginning of May?

And also some people say EU citizens don’t get a biometric letter so that means they are getting their biometric residence card without their biometric photos & fingerprints taken?


Many thanks.
