As a close to this post, I'd like to say that we did get an approval for his EEA Family Permit, although it took 10 days. I am in the same situation, going to apply for EEA Family Permit from my country while waiting for Permanent residence card. Just wanted to ask you, which documents you have pro...
Regulations says that HO doesn't need your passport to make a decision. In case it needed ,they will get in touch. Are you travelling with COA? I am going for family holiday at the beginning of August and worry a bit .Is COA sufficient for UK border? I am not visa national? Cheers I will have my pa...

But it is Permanente residence card I have aplied... it's a stock letter, don't worry...and at least you're lucky enough to get the COA :D many here get the COA with the RC after 6 months or don't ...

Hi guys, please I need your help,,,,,,, Im flying to Tunisia on 27/06/2012 with my EEA wife, I have received my passport back but after making 4 times request for my wife(EEA national) passport back, still haven't received it and every time I ring they make a new request!!! Today the lady told me t...
I haven't receive COA either, even though they did answer to my email that it is dispatched on 24th April. To my second email 3 weeks later they replied that all COA-'s they send by 2nd class postage and it takes a while. but now, one month later nothing. y Just phoned them asking why my COA haven'...
I just quoted the regulations. I did not write them. The CoA should also be issued ASAP and I would expect that to happen no later than the EEA national document is issued. You should complain. In 2009, a EEA3 application took 10 months. So I guess nowadays it is somewhere between the two. yes, I k...
The directive requires residence documents for EEA nationals (EEA1/EEA3) to be issued ASAP and for non-EEA (EEA2/EEA4) within 6 months. But what is the logic of it? I mean I understand there are complicated cases, but if there is case like for instance ours (married 8 years, 2 kids, living together...
yes, it has already expired in the end of March. earliest we could apply in january, but unfortunately we didn't. My husband's passport with PR (EEA3) card received in April, one month after our application. really hoped it won't take long as our case should be easy one.
I didnt know we can travel with the COA You can't use it for travel if you are a visa national as you won't be able to board the flight. You can use it to enter the UK if you manage to get to the border and this is possible if you are a non visa national. then is it possible to get a visa to come b...
January?? have they sent you COA? mine is since 17/03/2012 and I have not receive anything and not even certificate of application. though, I have requested for my wife's pasport back and they told her that they have received her request and she will get her passport in 5 working day, we sent the e...
This the reply I got when I asked about the progress of my eea4 Application Good Morning. . We aim to conclude all non EEA applications within 6 Umonths of receipt, and usually much soonere. We conclude postal applications from EEA nationals within 20 days. The public enquiry office in Croydon, c...
Mine was not expired at the time but it has now expired and I have a trip planned for the first weekend in June and if I have not received the Permanent Residence Card by then I will still travel and try to come back with the CoA. I don't think entering the UK will be an issue, but the airline migh...
I also applied on the 13th of February and requested my passport back about three weeks after that to travel and received it together with my CoA. It will not delay your application. When you travelled, was you Residency card already expired at that time or not yet? Mine is expired now, don't know ...
We applied for eea3 and eea4 on 20th March. In the end of April my husband's passport (eea3) with PR came. No COA for me, although I have requested two times. Both times they wrote me it has been dispatched. Does anyone has experience of travelling with expired RC and with COA? I really hope by the ...

Melcu, as your EU husband is working you are definitely entitled to whatever UK residents are entitled to, so yes child tax credit is fine.
melcu, yes it is very fustrating putting this documents together most especial when you read some of the thread on some other post on this forum, some documents were rejected by HO and at the same time accept in some other applications, it is very confusing. Yes I posted my eea3 +eea4 in one envelo...
You need to elaborate on your circumstances. What has the EU citizen done since coming to the UK, were they a worker, student or other? My EU husband is working since 2005, full time, besides of 3 months in summer of 2007, being jobseeker. I am working since October 2007, after I started I had appl...
