Thank you for your condolences.

I sent an email requesting my husband's EEA2 application status yesterday since due to his mother's health he might need to request it back on Monday. I've received an email from the UKBA at 18:40 today saying they have informed the relevant team leader. Hi your application is 15days ahead then min...

I've read here that an EEA family member can apply after Holding the PR for 5 years but according to the UKBA website it reads: "European Economic Area nationals and Swiss nationals If you are a national of a country in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, or you are the family member of...

Guys you need to stop emailing the UKBA office requesting your pertinent application statuses. They are correct, their jobs are to process your thousands and thousands of applications, period. They can't stop what they are doing to answer your questions just because you are being impatient. As a per...

Hello Everyone:

My husband received his RC today!

I sent an email requesting my husband's EEA2 application status yesterday since due to his mother's health he might need to request it back on Monday.
I've received an email from the UKBA at 18:40 today saying they have informed the relevant team leader.

When did you apply?

Congratulations both. Hopefully the RC will be received very quickly as well.

Not at all. As far as I've seen so far the number one factor would be the nationality of the applicant.

Sanson: Have you called them asking for the status of your application? Some people on this forum have done so. And even though they may only give you a standard answer, I think it will make them aware that you are on top of this and that an answer is needed. Perhaps someone else here can assist you...

My husband is still awating for his passport and EE2 but I have a question though.
If we were to request his passport back for travel purposes, and go to France per say, would he be allowed back in the UK with his COA letter?

Regards

Today I received my Residence certificate along with my EEA passport and my husband's COA letter.

That was my understanding as well. I don't think they would just give out letters to people without first looking at the documentation received.
But you never know!

This is very funny, but to be fair Winter is not here yet (21/12)...hopefully you won't have to wait until then!

Great! I didn't include one!!!!!! Is that going to be a problem? I missed that!

Does anyone think that if we were to include a pre-paid post envelope they would send us the RC and passport back sooner?

Thank you both.
Today I submitted my husband's EEA2 and my EEA1 in the same package. Let's see how it goes!

Congrats!!!!!! One question though...

Was your application an EEA1 or EEA2?

Cheers!

Thank you directive.
Now, should I include my children with my application or can I do theirs at a later time?

Thank you again!

Thank you!
Yes, we will the train both ways.

By the way, if we were to go on holidays this December and my husband has not received his RC yet, can he travel back on his COA (hopefully received by then)?
We are planning on going to Paris from Christmas until New year but his FP expires 24/12/2011.

Does anyone know?

Thank you.

I am filling the aplication out for my husband and on page 17 it asks for evidence of comprehensive sickness insurance or EHIC. What is that and does he need it in order to apply/qualify? It also asks for evidence of dependency, ie, children, grandchildren and direct relatives. Does this apply to my...

That's exactly what I thought, but needed to be sure of it

Thank you for your help.

Is there a minimum amount of money that I should be getting paid in order to sponsor my husband for his EEA2? In other words, must I be hired full-time or part-time, or it doesn't matter as long as I am working and exercising my treaty rights in the UK? If I were to start working next Monday how soo...
