As I understood the EEA2 guidance directions, certified copies of passports and certificates will not be sufficient proof. You'll have to send in originals this time. And yes, the wait to get your passport back is ridiculous. For documentation, I sent in my passport, my marriage certificate, my birt...
CSI is only needed if the EEA national is student or self-sufficient. EEA national in employment and his family members are not required to have CSI. Ah brilliant! I was having a hell of a time deciphering the application-ese (or whatever language the EEA4 is written in). Looks like I'm still on tr...
Hi all! I'm seeking a bit of clarification regarding the comprehensive sickness insurance requirement for PR. My Spanish husband is exercising his treaty rights as a fully-employed worker in the UK (he has a 5-year contract, which matches my 5-year residence card nicely). I'm a Canadian, and still c...
Congratulations!!! It is actually quite upsetting that the HO takes so long between issuing and sending the documents back. Don't they realise that how people can easily get into depression because of their incompentancy? I don't think it's just us folks who apply for EEA2. I've heard some horror s...
My passport arrived this morning! In fact, everything did. All our documents, identification, and certificates arrived in the 2nd class post (although I'd sent a first class, next-day envelope in the application package, but perhaps they didn't think it was big enough) 4 days after leaving the Liver...
This is very funny, but to be fair Winter is not here yet (21/12)...hopefully you won't have to wait until then! Ack! You're right! I blame my cold-addled brain. That being said, if my RC arrives before Dec 21st, I'll be very surprised. After all, as of late November, there was no decision on my fi...
has anyone from August received RC yet, i have done everything asked for passport back, called home office and finally at the end found out that the application is still outstanding. Cant wait any more , can not go to work, because do not have a valid visa now , stuck in this situation GOD help me ...
I finally received my RC yesterday!!! The strange thing is that the UKBA did not use the pre-paid envelope that I had sent with my application. My timeline: Application sent: 31 August 2011 UKBA received the application: 1 September 2011 COA received: 1 October RC received 30 November 2011 (dated 2...
Great! I didn't include one!!!!!! Is that going to be a problem? I missed that! It just means that if and when they send your documents and/or RC, it'll be by 2nd class post rather than as registered mail. I think that means it takes a bit longer and no one will have to sign for it, but I could be ...
Does anyone think that if we were to include a pre-paid post envelope they would send us the RC and passport back sooner? I did, yet witness the lack of RC or, as I would settle for at this point, my passport. And I believe on the application instructions, they suggest including a pre-paid, address...
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has received her/his RC recently? I applied as an unmarried partner of a British citizen on the 1st of September but still have not received my RC. Is it possible to contact the UKBA and ask about the status of the application? UKBA will only tell you about th...
Fingers and toes crossed! At least with passport in hand, I can hopefully reapply for an EEA1 to get back after the holidays... provided my passport doesn't come with the RC vignette. I presume you meant "Family Permit" and not EEA1 which is a Residence Permit application for EEA nationals. If you ...
its so frustrating most of the people i know who applied at the same time or even after have received their rc. but no luck here yet!!!! Well, I said to hell with it this morning and phoned to get my passport back. It's been 3 1/2 months, and people who applied around the same time had the RC appro...

If you need to travel mid December, I suggest you call them today irrespective of the status of your application as it can take 10 working days to get the passport back. But I no longer have a valid EEA1 Family Permit. I'd have to reapply for an EEA1 from Canada over the holidays, which is just imp...
Starting to get a little nervous about needing my passport for travel in mid-December. Here's my timeline: Applied 9 August 2011 Received by UKBA 10 August 2011 COA dated 16 August 2011 I've read on the board that some folks who applied early August have already received their residence cards. Shoul...
