I used Check & Send when I was sending application for my son's passport (born in the UK but naturalized) and they asked me to include his grandparents details as well.

I got 2 letters on the same day.

I posted my son's application on 6 August. It was received on 7 August. Not heard anything ever since, no acknowledgement, the cheque I sent hasn't been cashed :? Should I be worried? I think you should wait for another week as I have seen few cases in the forum where fee were deducted very late ...

Just to let you know my wife has received her PR after just over 5 months of waiting.. Cool

I got my PR Card yesterday!!! Below is my timeline, looks like they do take about 5 months... EEA4 application sent on 1 Sep 2012 COA received on 18 Oct 2012 dated 12 Oct 2012 Requested passport back on 19 Nov 2012 received on 5 Dec 2012 Received PR on 1 Feb 2013 dated 17 Jan 2013 If it's 5 months ...

Dude , you are confusing yourself and stressing for no apparent reason . Which invitation letter are you waiting for when you have it already ? Just take that letter to the ceremony , how could you have been booked for the 4th Dec if your council was waiting for something ? The confirmed date is ...

Can I attend the ceremony with my ID but no invitation letter? I've got UKBA approval letter. I hope that will do. I don't think so, but if you got confirmation that your ceremony is on the 4th, I would give it a shot anyway. I just checked UKBA approval/invitation letter and it says You must bring ...

I contacted them in October, they told me over the phone my ceremony date is 4 December and was told to wait for my invitation letter . Then I rang two weeks later regarding the invitation letter.. then again last Wednesday.. No letter so far. Do Councils always work that way and wait with ...

Simple.. UKBA will appreciate honesty..

Have they received your application at all?

You should have got your CoA a week or so after UKBA received your application.

My wife just received her Certificate of Application today. Does it mean UKBA is satisfied with the documents she's provided (i.e. expired passport of EEA national)?

Interesting thread... We sent my wife's EEA4 form with my expired in July 2012 passport. No other form of ID but we enclosed a letter explaining why we cannot send a valid form of ID. In our case I need my valid EU ID Card to attend my British Citizenship ceremony on 4 December and I haven't applied ...

Don't get yourself involved into this or you may lose your rights to stay and work in the UK. If you want to be together in the UK then she should apply for her own visa. People get visas to study in the UK. It's the only route for her that won't affect you. Once you obtain your PR you will be safe ...

I cannot understand why she doesn't want her child to have dual nationality. It's not like child will be losing Polish citizenship. It's not that easy to lose it anyway and as far as I know only the President of the Republic of Poland can make such decision when you decide you don't want to be ...

Do they contact referees at all? They didn't contact mine.

I will be sending my wife's EEA4 tomorrow if she finds her photos today ;) It's shocking to see 6 month waiting time for something that is just a proof of people's PR. My wife's application seems straightforward - me EU citizen living in the UK since 2004, with PR since 2010, BC in December 2012 ...

I will do then.

Thanks again

Does she need to send all my P60 to UKBA or will my Permanent Residence Card be enough? If yes, does she also need to send my WRS certificate from 2004 and EEA1 RP from 2005? No need to send the evidence again. You can just send your PR Confirmation card. If more than 2 years passed since its issue ...

My wife wants to apply for Permanent Residence Card through EEA4 and I have a few questions.. I obtained my PR card through EEA3 in 2010, currently I'm in the process of becoming a British Citizen. Anyway my wife is in no rush to apply for her BC but she would like some form of proof of her ...

Hi Mordoklej I applied through NCS on 24th aug 2012 and I received the same letter like yours few weeks ago and when i called the local council,they told me that they will call me and arrange the ceremony date and will send the ceremony confirmation date which they did to me last week. I think as ...
