hi can sum1 tell me please i send eea2 aplication on

3 feb

3 march recieved coa

so when is gona be six month on 3 aug or the day they issue coa 24 feb time start six month

On the COA it usually says 'we received your application on ...........' - in my opinion this is when the count starts!!

Good luck with it

Mate you just have to waite a while. It might be fast decision these days but when I applied it took 8 months. ta

4 months on average currently, could be quicker. I have not seen a case taking longer than 6 months for a while now.

Quite a number of applications that were made in early march are still pending, depending on what board members are reporting. Lets just wait for now since they are still with in six months.

Did you try to request your or your partner's passport back.It makes process quicker as well sometimes.

UKBA say it should take up to 10 working days to receive the passport.

hi guyz i am bit confuse of about 6 months time...i send my application through solicitor on 3 feb and they recive 4 feb...coa issue 24 feb...so 6 months time start when 4 feb or 24 feb plz help me about this and my lawyer send request for my wife passport on 20 july still not reply...thanks 4 replies and helpin me ...this forum is realy helpfull thanks u all guys..

It's unfortunate that your RC is taking so long, but with regards to the passport return, they won't count the weekends so it has only been 7 working days since your request was sent on 20th July. By Wed Aug 3rd it'll be 10 working days.

I would assume they start counting the 6 months from the day they receive it so I'd guess from the 4th Feb. You should get familiar with the complaints procedure, cos it looks like you may have to put in a complaint.

Good luck

Requesting the passport back / asking about the status of the application doesn't affect the application at all (and doesn't make them suspicious).

If you have provided them with a self addressed special delivery envelope when you applied, they might use that. If not, 2nd class. You should get the passport after 10 days from making the request.

Send them fax and email as well.They do reply to emails nearly after a week, contact NWCS unit as well and make a complain about it.

the best you can do is wait , you keep repeating yourself and are getting the same answers, your solicitor should perhaps contact them as you went through him / her .

Your solicitor should be able to help you in this matter because you are paying him

hi thanks 4 replies yea i sent my case through solicitors they send the request on 21 july they said wait as well but whot if sum1 is realy sick and not well and that person is ur mother wot u gona do...r u gona say ooh wait and c,....until that time anything happen bad...my wifes mother shes not well she took 2 weks of frm work startin 14 and now we cant do anything until we get the passport...

well i send them a letter request today with first class recorded and inside first class recorded envelop as well so lets c i hope they understand and send the passport ...cuz 6 month time also over now...

wot is NWCSU AND HOW I CAN COMPLAIN TO THEM ABOUT HOMEOFFICE...PLS ADVICE THANKS

I think it's North West Customer Service Unit, you can find informtion on how to contact them here or here

the way I see it , you want a permit to stay here and if the home office decide to take 8 months to decide after they have completed investigation etc , they can do so .

In relation to the sick mother etc , you never mentioned that in the beginning of this topic , you started mentioning it after someone said that it could take up to 6 months or longer, but by requesting for the passport to be returned due to travelling reasons could speed up the application process, you seem to have literally started mentioning the ill mother situation ever since. That's just my opinion.

Like I said before, waiting is all you can do instead of venting your frustrations over here buddy.

listen mate keep ur opinion with u i ask advice not ur opinion..her mother got sick a month ago not the time we sent the application..and thats our right to request the passport back cuz illness can come any time with any 1 so if u cant advice dunt right anything here cuz this place is not 4 ur personal opinion i hope u understand well safe...
