I asked but she said doesnt know. i hope is my RC. when i gave her my reference number she replied this reference is wrong cause is not openning anything on the system but i explained that is not the first time i call and the reference is right. so she asked me to hold and she checked through my Date of birth on different screen and she said is completed and is sent out to you.

I will update you as soon as i receive something.


the best of luck to all.

After a long and arduous wait my RC arrived today. Issued 22 MAY (!)

We are hugely relieved and happy, needless to say but it seems that everything that could go wrong, went wrong:

- The COA arrived only after 3 months and 1 week
- We requested one passport back on 30 MAY and made 3 (!) requests. The passports was never sent.
- At the time of this request, the RC had already been issued (!) and in spite of that nothing was sent.
- Only after calling them to tell them that 6 months had gone by, the RC and other documents were sent, 5 weeks (!) after issuing the RC.

It goes to show that processes at the HO are seriously flawed. All the more because our case was fairly straightforward.

On another note however: if beloved had been an issue, the HO had ample opportunity to discriminate in our case. I am African, black, need a visa for the UK and in a same sex relationship. But, they haven't and I am convinced that they wouldn't. So, rather than guessing I would put the struggle for this RC down to inefficiency and nothing else.

Thanks everyone for your support- it was great to be able to share it with all of you.

Go well and I wish you patience and courage.

It is a good news. but how come they sat on your RC for more than a month just to make it 6 months. Sometimes i find them really funny

Good point. I don't think that the European casework section applies any facial profiling. But the situation may be quite different if you apply out of country - although no direct discrimination is obvious, the standards are certainly very different between Embassies.

And I am shocked to see that it takes the UKBA 5 weeks to mail a letter. Surely if you process applications exclusively by post, mailing is a key part of the operation, and you should (!) be rather good at it?

I made my point because beloved has been a topic of late in this thread. Personally, I find it an unproductive discussion but, to be fair, it is fueled by an extremely aloof and unavailable HO. Their processes and communication need to be reviewed.

Hi, we are on the same boat man =). I've sent my EEA1+EEA2 on May 16 by special delivery, HO received on 17. No coa or RC =). Don't worry I think it's too early. I would expect some delays because of the Olympic Games ..
