EEA2 Application Timelines - ONLY 1 TOPIC - UpToDate

Lorablue wrote:Hi Guys,

Yesterday I also requested my passport back and got an automated reply about 10 days.

I really need my passport as I was offered a job and my passport is needed for a background check. If I don't get it by the end of next week I will loose my job offer
Do you know if they return the passports if it is NOT for traveling but for some other important issue? I am really worried that they will just ignore my request.

Mine is for travel. It will be 10 working days tomorrow . Need to travel outside England on Saturday . I don't think I could make it now . I hope you could get yours. Good luck

Yes, I probably have no other choice than do follow their instruction.

I first sent my request on the 1st of Nov, and then I called on the phone to chase it up but they had no info about returns, however they advised to keep on sending the online request so I did again on the 4th of Nov, I got the usual automated response and then sent the request again on the 14th of Nov, I got the automated reply and about 2hours later I got a reply from the ROD e-mail address saying that I will have to write to the UKBA Liverpool address, that my return of document request cannot be completed at the moment.

The reason for my Passport request is for a Job interview, and maybe that might be the reason for the drama or maybe because I sent my request multiple times....I don't know, or maybe if my reason was urgent travel, perhaps it will be processed faster..(this is just a suggestion)...
No one really knows how UKBA operates.

Ghirleeh_lim, thanks.

You have one more day so hopefully you will receive your passport tomorrow.

Flipper77, thank you for the useful information. I will send one more request now.

6 months is not just a guide date, it's the law.

The following is an excerpt from the UKBA's European Casework Instructions, chapter 5. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... iew=Binary

"5.1.8 Six-month rule

Community law requires us to decide applications for a Residence Card within 6 months from the date of receipt of the application. Every effort should be made to do so, particularly where an applicant draws our attention to an alleged breach of this requirement. Failure to comply with this requirement could leave the Home Office open to a claim for damages."

I don't know how could they do that to people. I didn't even know that my husband already sent a request last 01.11.12 and what he received from automated response was 5 working days. Everything was messed up now. Our hotel for 1 day before travelling has been paid and parking space for 15 days. Shame really.

eea2 sent 12sept
ho recieved 13sept,
coa recieved 19th oct..

waheguru waheguru.......

i got passports back today ...

Nice, I think I will also write them and request passports without using the forms, perhaps you only need to use to form when you write to RODRequest, when writing to Liverpool request, i dont think forms are needed.

yes i think because i did not use any form i just send them one email that i need passport so within week i got it .

My timeline...

EEA2 application delivered to UKBA on 10th August
Sent letter to them on 1st November with a change of current address.
Haven't received RC yet, nor COA...

Still no RC ... I was hoping to get it before December coz we want to take our son to Ireland on Christmas... My visa would expire on 17th Dec. 2012 will they give my passport before that or will they wait til the 6 month period is over?

Did you get in touch with a lawyer? You have all the right to take them to court, they are in violation of EEA regulations.

No COA at 6months?Could you give us more info about kind of application and documents sent?Did you change your address?

Hi All

This is for everyone who is still waiting for COA or going to apply under EU Regulations. Some interesting Information from UKBA.
