Hi, I received a 10yr Permanent Residence Document in January 2015, which is valid until January 2025. I am a Canadian citizen who has been living and working in the UK since Sept 2009 (with no breaks) as the spouse of an EU citizen who is also working and living in the UK. Am I eligible to apply fo...

Just got my Permanent Residence Document today, February 3rd. Home Office received my EEA4 application on Sept. 26th, 2014 and I received my COA (dated Oct.13th) on Oct. 16.

Good luck to everyone!

Hello guys, I am posting this to check if anyone sent his/her EEA4 application in Aug/Sept and still waiting... I sent my EEA4 app in September 2014 with 5 years of address proof and my EEA spouse's PR card (issued in June 2014) along with her passport... Many thanks in advance. Hi KALTS, I submitt...

Hi Kalts,

I submitted my application in late September and I'm still waiting. I received my COA (dated Oct. 13th) on October 18th.

Thanks all for your responses. I submitted another online form requesting the return of my expired passport with my Residence Documentation. This was over two weeks ago and I have yet to receive my passport. When I rang the Home Office to enquire about the delay, the guy I spoke to said it was sent ...

Hi Behold2014, Same with me, I requested my two non-EEA passports back (current passport and expired passport with Residence Documentation) and they only sent me my current passport. I submitted another online form asking for my expired passport back - it's now been over 10 working days and I haven'...

Hi Sanu84,

Can I ask, what number did you call to check on your status?

Hi Zebrafishbone, Thanks for your help. It's reassuring to hear of somebody who was able to travel without a RC. I also had no idea I was meant to fill out a landing card, so many thanks for that. I plan on traveling with my COA and marriage certificate, a photocopy of my RC and my husband will also...

Hi Behold2014,

The Home Office received my application on September 24th, 2014, and my COA was dated October 13th. I requested my passport back that same day, and received it less than 10 working days later. Good luck.

Thanks Imshzd. Good to know I don't have to show a RC, but I'm still confused as to why the Home Office would only return one passport, and hold on to my expired passport? I'm a little worried that this means my expired passport with my RC is lost, which will obviously cause issues with my applicati...

Hi, As a spouse of an EU citizen, I recently submitted an EEA4 form because my 5 year Residence Documentation has expired. I had submitted two of my passports along with my application: My current Canadian passport, and my expired Canadian passport which holds my 5 year Residence Documentation. Afte...

I received my RC in less than a month. Here's my story: I'm a Canadian married to a French National. I originally entered the UK on a 2 year holidaymaker visa, which expires in September 2010. September 28th, 2009: UK Broder Agency received my completed EEA2 form, with all documents including origin...

Kuka - I did call. They told tell me I can request my passport back with no issues, but I'm not sure I actually believe them. I was hoping somebody who's "been there, done that" could shed more light on my situation.

Thanks for the reply, kuka. I was afraid of that!

Hi, I couldn't find any post regarding latest Waiting times for COA (Certificate of Approval) I applied for COA 4 weeks ago...me and my partner both have good legal history. Can any successful candidates share how much time it takes for COA to arrive please? I was sent acknowledgment from HO after ...

I'm hoping somebody can help me. Does anybody know if I can request my passport back before I've received my Certificate of Application, and if so will this in any way affect my ability to work? My Story: I'm a Canadian citizen currently in the UK on a Working Holiday Visa. Under the terms of my Vis...
