Non eu spouse, not holding any BRC, no EEA Family permit.

Biometrics appointment: 17 APRIL 2019 (Croydon)
Decision: Pre-settled status 04 JUL 2019 @ 02:00 PM
Waiting : BRP CARD

All the process took almost 3 months for me. I had never called Home office until 2 or 3 weeks ago and they told me they would speed the case up since I'd been waiting for so long and my application seemed correct. Nothing happened, so I called again 3 days ago, and they told me same thing, they would speed my case, and if I didn't get any news in two weeks I should call again. But today I got the e-mail! Now waiting for the BRP card.
Do you know if I need to get NIN, or with this new online system is enough for work?

Thanks! Good luck
It seems like a lot of the unusual delays with processing occur when applicants (including myself) have the biometrics appointment at the Croyden centre. There was another poster who'd been waiting for months. Same venue. It does make me wonder if it's something specific to that centre...

Could it be that the centre in Croyden is just larger and processes more applicants? Then even if the centre has the same relative rate of problematic cases (for example 5%), it would still have many more problematic cases in absolute numbers.

At least that's what I'm hoping for because we too had an appointment there and are nervously waiting now :wink:

Question for those who already got their BRP:
Do you have to get NIN? or is it printed on the back of the card?
I don't have NIN and I'm waiting for my BRP card (I got pre-settled, didn't have family permit when applied), maybe I should just wait and see if they'll give automatically a NIN?

Thanks

Non eu spouse, not holding any BRC, no EEA Family permit.

Applied: 15 APRIL 2019
Biometrics appointment: 17 APRIL 2019 (Croydon)
COA: 30 APRIL 2019

Nobody would give you a NIN automatically. The NIN is not printed on the BRP or anything.

Once you get your BRP, you need to apply for a NIN and go to an interview.

Correction, NI Numbers issued and are printed on BRP cards for certain visa categories, i.e. Tier 1 and Tier 2.

I doubt it applies to EU citizens and their family though.

Hi Guys.
I came to Uk in April 2019 and travelled on EEA family member card (spainish). The immigration authorities saw the card at airport and did not stamp the passport.
I applied for eu settlement scheme on 16 May, Bio metrics done on 31 May, CoA received on 6th June.
After that called Resolution centre several times and the answer is very much the same that the application is with case worker can you will receive a decision as soon as it is made.
I am afraid that they are delaying my case as i don't have EU Family Permit or stamp on my passport.
Is there any one who travelled on documents like mine or some one could suggest me that what to do ? Thanks

Passports and permits are scanned when you arrive at the airport and HO can access these information whenever they need to. As you do have a family permit, and your EU sponsor is exercising Treaty rights here in the UK, you will be granted a Pre-settled status. There is no point of calling the Resolution center, if a caseworker needs further information, they will contact you. No need to panic.

My Timeline:
Jan 09 - 2012 (Post-Grad student)
2012 - 2014 (2yr Post-Study Work Visa - We were the last ones to be granted this scheme)
May 2014 - May 2019 (Family Member of an EEA Resident) - before this expired, I sent my application via EU settlement scheme as myself. No Sponsor. I only provided my resident card number (on a sticker on my passport), my NI number, and passport number.
18th May 2019 - Submitted EU application
24th May 2019 - Biometrics in London (Very expensive, there was no free appointment near where I live, had to pay and travel)
05th June 2019 - COA received
08th July 2019 - Settled status received
Waiting for BRP Card
Divorce: Still processing (the petition was filed in August, 2018), Decree Nisi is out, Decree Absolute possibly in the next two weeks).

One thing you should do is to wait. Most of the times, when you submit a lot of evidences trying to prove something, that is when you create a lot of suspicions. The trick is to provide only what is asked at that particular time. Caseworkers can see these things from the word go. There are lots of applications especially cases that are not straightforward. Be patient and wait for them to contact you.

Hi Everyone I am newly registered on this forum and would like to share my Timeline as this forum has helped me through out my Eea application process .

Got married to EEA (France) in June 2014
Was issued with BRC In March 2016 , valid till March 2021
Divorced May 2018 and continued to exercise treaty rights to have retained rights of residence ( no further application to home Office)
Submitted my application via the app and online -Monday July 8 2019
Uploaded p60s and annual bank statement as proof of residency for last 5 years.
Submitted Divorce certificate as proof of relationship as marriage ended in 2018
COA - received immediately via email on July 8 2019
This morning July 9 2019 I had an email from caseworker requesting my ex ID or passport,
I immediately replied with my ex Copy of ID
20 minutes later same day , settled status received via email. I am soo over the moon .

Wondering if anyone with BRC was issued with another ILR card ? Will be happy if someone could help answer that. Thanks
Good luck to all those waiting. Mine was a breeze under 24 hrs .
