It should be on his passport anyway.

Because he needed the passport how long the application was on HO,we make request for passport back and he received residence card on A4 paper not on the passport.He can travel anywhere with this residence card or he has to apply for visa like before?And he has romanian residence card for 5 years too.Thank you.

[quote="Thetruth007thetruth"]In response to UKBA staffs- They are so annoying. I spoke to one yesterday and she was like '' I have very limited information about your case and i can not help you am afraid'' But when she asked me about my details, she admitted that they were correct.

They need prayers from T.D Jakes(the pastor)[/quote]

I spoke to a supervisor on 18 March and she at one point told me "UKBA can keep your passport as long as we want." And had the power to magically say my COA was sent back in October when it never arrived. Now I'm trying to get my passport back before UKBA asks for ransom.

[quote="Kixmug"]Hi guys. Can you all check out this link ( http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/40133 ) and sign this petition so we can get this problem fixed throught the home of commons.[/quote]

All signed. Hope this catches attention. From my firsthand experience having been sent no COA and now it's past six months, attack from all angles. A colleague of mine noticed that I am attacking from all sides and this petition should even push more if others are going through the same experience. No offense but enough with processing the first quarter of 2013, go back to the third and final quarter of 2012 as it seems like many October and myself, a September, have yet to receive RCs!

Hi...
Waiting desperately for my RC.
Need to travel in april very urgent.....
Hopefully we all October applicants will get RC in couple of weeks or earlier.

I wouldlike to thank for all the help I got from you,

I sent mine the exact same day...was yours an unmarried or married application?

This thread should be renamed to "October Applicants - Unite!"

5 months and 2 weeks waiting...

6 months without passports - who can live like this?

[quote="Luhby"]Received my RC!! They've issued it after the third attemp of asking my husband's passsport. They only sent the passport when we attached the request of passport form. They ignored the other two.[/quote]

Hello Luhby congratulation.. Can you please send the phone number or address that you used to request your passport back because my husband wants to go and visit his elderly mother and father, and if i get my resident card it will be a plus because we would like to go together thanks nanny.

Hello Everyone,

Any Good news today?


Just posting the link for the e-petition posted by Kixmug for the people still waiting for their RC and haven't received it yet.
Already 45 signatures...

Also, I planned to request my documents again, but because the 6 month are coming to an end, I don't want to request my document and then receive the RC in a piece of paper...

Has anyone received their RC in an A4 paper? is this ok to travel?

Hi guys,
Decided to post and cheer up those, who are still waiting, border agency seems to be working sometimes - I got my RC.

Timeline as below:

Sent application - 8th November,
COA - beginning of December, dated 3rd November
RC - 15th March

good luck to everybody,
P.

Hi Ishy,
I got my RC in A4 paper and seems like it is OK to travel, there was nothing mentioned in the letter attached about transfer of it to passport.
My colleague from Australia has the same paper and he traveled several times already.

Hi Polina,

Congratulation on your RC. Excellent ! thanks for the info.

Hey Guys,

I checked the history of November application on this forum. Have a look at that. It looks like I was right... UKBA are working backwards for 2012 application.
It seems that they will probably process our applications in a couple of weeks...

Hey Nanny, go to this addres http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/about ... documents/

and where there is "To request the return of documents from any other application for permission to stay in the UK or an application for British Citizenship" You're gonna click on Return of document request form and download their form and fill it.
Then you'll send it to LiverpoolEuro.PassportReturns@ukba.gsi.gov.uk
and in the Subject you will put the name of the Main Applicant and the Case ID.

That's what made then to send the passport asap.

Don't get too excited. I am waiting from the 8th of November bu not RC yet. I hope your assumptions are right though.

Hey mocha,

You don't have a further 6 months to wait...the application should be decided by the UKBA within 6 months of receiving it (i.e. 6 months since 1st February).

Good luck!
