Hi,

Just an update for people applying from Mumbai India. Not really sure how applications are getting processed at the moment.

I had applied from Mumbai on 10th May 2017 and received the EEA FP on 23rd November, 2017. Looking at these time stats of over 7 months, my friend applied at Mumbai on 6th December and luckily got the FP on 23rd December. Just 13 working days!!!

You can't compare timelines. each situation is different. it depends on your situation, and the documents you have provided.

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to update on my case, maybe this information will help you somehow.

I was refused FP on January 7th, applied from Tel Aviv, Israel on Aug 16th.

On January 13th I went to the UK with my EU citizens husband and son, we went for the UK/EEA passports line at Luton airport. The officer asked why was I refused visa, asked for our marriage certificate and put an "Admitted to the UK under immigration EEA regulations 2016" just as I've asked him to. The whole process took about 5 minutes at the border. Our family is now reunited in London, after being separated by the Home Office for 5 months.

I'm now regretting the wasted time, I could have done this move long time ago.

Good luck to all that are still waiting.
