Some people received their COA and final decision after 2 monthscookiemonster19 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2019 6:51 pm
I understand that I need to wait for decision but for CoA it should not be long since it is linked to my husband application who got settled status and I am on new EEA Family Permit.
Hmmm..that's horrible. Is there any specific reason for the delay? Because technically if you are direct family of EEA national you automatically have rights to reside and work, especially when your application was made based on relationship with EEA national you relied on your previous application to Home Office (e.q. EEA Family Permit).askmeplz82 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2019 7:43 pmSome people received their COA and final decision after 2 monthscookiemonster19 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 09, 2019 6:51 pm

Together with my wife we applied for a pre-settled status on 10th of April. I am an EU national and she is non-EEA living in UK on EEA Family Permit. My case was completed on 30th of April, whereas she had an biometric appointment on 17th of April and we haven't heard anything back regarding her case since then. EU settlement helpline advisors keep saying everything is fine, just a volume of application is high, hence delays.
This is a bit confusing as processing time guidelines clearly state that currently application takes 1-4 days to be processed but she has been waiting for almost 2 months...
She hasn't received any COA letter from Home Office so can't apply for a job without biometric card/NIN and it is really frustrating.
Is anyone else in the same situation?
Thanks,
Jed
Hi there I am in your exact situation on Tier 2 visa applied on 31 March 2019 and married to an Italian national. Entered BRP instead of BRC and told to wait indefinitely until they knew what to do. Emailed MP in May and then then sent a letter to HO and then I was invited to submit biometrics at the post office on 14 June (date I received the letter) submitted biometrics on the 19th of June. Since then no COA nothing. Been calling at least once a week. Yesterday a very rude lady told me to just wait as they have thousands of applications and I told her I have been waiting for four months now including the first month of April when they kept telling me it was fine that I used BRP and there was no need to submit biometrics only to then change the story in May. So today I called and asked to log a complaint. Spoke to a manager who says my case was worked on on the 10th of July (not sure what that means if I still have no COA and the person yesterday said I have no COA because no one has validated my biometrics a whole month later). I am also stuck and disheartened and was advised in May to not cancel as I would receive a decision soon and yet months later I am still waiting. Now confused and stuck on what else to do.almedina12 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 1:07 pmHello everyone,
I felt quite disheartened reading these posts because it has taken so much longer for me. I have a tier 4 visa and I am married to an Italian citizen. When I made the application I incorrectly submitted my Biometric Residence Permit instead of a Biometric Residency Card and it seems as though that has delayed my application indefinitely.
Timeline:
7th of April - Submitted Application
9th of April - Submitted BRP
10th of May - After approximately 20 calls my case was escalated to some caseworker.
I keep calling every other day and they just say that the caseworker is still reviewing my case and that I should receive an email shortly with information about my case.
I have asked whether I could cancel my application and start a new one but they said I would have to wait 10 weeks in order to be able to start a new application.
Has anyone been through anything like this?
I think that we should complain!Hayley01 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 19, 2019 3:24 pmHi there I am in your exact situation on Tier 2 visa applied on 31 March 2019 and married to an Italian national.

Congratulations!
Do you actually know any emails or forms where we can officially complain about the delay on our cases? It feels unfair to be honest. Lot of people who applied in July already received their status...

Reading around google, it should take around 2 weeks to get the approval, 81% of applicants was approved in the pilot have approval in 3 days.
I have submitted my and my wife's application yesterday evening, like many other people did i guess.
I have been pre-approved for Settled Status, wife needed extra info to submit, which we did straight away.

Hello, can you please post the picture of the biometric card?realitycheckbruh wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:13 pmHey all!
I just thought I'd share my Pre-Settlement Timeline.
I am married to a EU Citizen who is Irish (Republic of Ireland) and I am here on an EEA Family Permit (non-EU Spouse).
I applied on the 25th of May and I managed to book a biometric appointment for the 12th of June (I booked a free one thats why it took so long!). I had to cancel the appointment as I couldn't make it. So I managed to rebook for the 17th of June - another free appointment in Croydon.
So, here is my timeline:
17th of June - Submitted Biometrics
19th of June - received CoA at 11:54am and then at 12:06pm I received my confirmation of status saying that I got Pre-Settled Status.
21st of June - Received my BRP; Type of Permit: EU Scheme Pre-Settlement.
I hope this has given some people hope!
Everything was done in four days!
If anyone wants to see what the BRP looks like, let me know and I will post a picture with my details omitted.
If anyone wants some advice on how it all worked, drop me a PM.
Thanks for everyone's advice on the forum!
Spoke too soon!Hansenji wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 12:33 pmHi, I’m in the same boat as I’m a non-EEA married to an Irish citizen. Have a family permit residence card and just did biometrics. The woman who took my biometrics just told me the timeline is 8 weeks to 6 months?? Online processing times are so much shorter. What’s going on?
