What was your sponsor's European nationality?
I am actually the sponsor. I'm Italian, my wife Japanese. The 6 months are already expired. I called them up only to hear that we have to wait...

can anyone reply me in such genuine case how long they can take to process my case where as they received it on 25th of march 2013.

thanks
All cases, genuine or not, can take up to 6 months to process. Have a read through this same thread you have posted to - you'll see that it varies from just a few weeks, to 6+ months (yep, that's right - MORE THAN 6 months).

Re-Submitted EEA1 and EEA2 received 17/09/2012
NO COA, NO RC

I have yet to hear from my MP about what the UKBA responded. UKBA admitted last week they have not yet processed my application. My post-study visa expired 11/10/12 and I have no COA to at least show UK Border that I have not illegally overstayed, nor do I have my tracking number as the husband lost it. Any suggestions of how to go about asking for a COA or a letter confirming my application has been with UKBA since last September?

You don't need to bother yourself proving to UKBA you've not overstayed.They normally log-in your application to the system as soon as they receive it. Moreover, your legality as family of EEA does not depend on your date of application,it depends on the day your EEA family starts exercising his/her EU treaty rights.
Regarding your COA, you can consider writing, requesting them to issue you a COA. Do address/provide the following on THE TOP LEFT SIDE of your envelop as follows:

Full name:
Date of birth:
Nationality:
Date of Application/postage:
Type(s) of Application:

Good luck

As far as I'm aware, there is no facility to "transfer" a Residence Card to a passport, if you'd like it in your new passport, you'll need to send a new application, including sending your passport to them. I'm assuming if they've lost your passport, you probably wouldn't want to do that again! Sounds to me like your solicitor is telling you lies!
