You should have put this down in a covering letter. I think they should be able to work this out themselves though. If you send a letter now, it wont harm you either. Yeah I know, but the NCS didn't say anything at the time, is just something that started nagging me once they told me usually they c...

Well for me they were the same thing (they do say the residence card is equivalent to ILR) but ok I see your point and will remove my link not to mislead people.

I don't want to get into an argument but If you read the last line of my quote from the site they clearly say you don't have to transfer your residence permit to the new passport. And your bit from your website says If you want to transfer to do so. Is not like you have to do it. Is only in case you...

Sorry 86ti

But I understood his wife already got the card, is her passport that is expiring. Its not like her passport is being hold or anything.

So I think the link I sent was right. Yours is to be used in case she was waiting her passport to be sent back?

While I had my family permit (the 5 yrs valid one) I used to travel with my two passports, one with the visa and the other which was valid.

I've sent my passports back in October after 17 months my application was made. This week is 19 months I've made my application and I am still waiting for the return of my documents + Residence card. Mind you it was EEA4, so yours may be slightly different.

Hi Great to hear that, I got the same answer last Friday "decision is made" but when I asked the caller he would not say its positive or not as he did not know I wonder what that means surely HO telephone agent should be able to say its positive decision or not right?

Well, as far as I gather, he only needs to prove he has been living here for 5 years, so any utility bill (council tax, bank statements, etc) would count. He doesn't need to prove he has been working because on EEA4 situations you would be his sponsor as the EU-National in the family. But together w...
