Hey all, I currently hold a EEA2 visa, due to expire in November 2017. I ofcourse had the intention of applying for a permanent RC in 2017, however the recent election victory of the conservative party indicates that an EU referendum is on the cards as early as next year. Can anyone advice how does ...

Hey guys,
i have got a eea2 rc valid till nov 2017 in my old expired passport. I just got a new passport, and was planning to transfer it to my new passport? Do i really need to do it to travel in and out of uk freely, as some people say i can travel with both passports and its not a problem at all?

Hey guys,

I am a bit concerned about something.

I recently got a EEA2 residence card. I was just wondering, what happens to my RC if UK leaves the EU?

Will me and my wife be required to leave the country, as my RC will be void?

congratulations diane! that was a long time coming!

it was lufthansa

Hey guys, Just wanted to share a experience with you with travelling with my EEA2 for the very first time. I was travelling with my wife to Germany for Christmas. I did not have time to apply for the German visa, so me and my wife tried to enter Germany on the account that I was a spouse of a EEA na...

I know this might sound a bit desperate, but maybe you can check with your neighbours? Sometimes, postmen do that, if they find no body is home, they leave postage with the neighbours. Also, Writing to your MP would be a good idea, and let him know that the 6 months deadline passed and UKBA has been...

go on diane, give us the good news! Congrats to all RC recipients, I called HO to enquire about my case and the lady told me a decision ve not been made. Very frustrating. This is my time line; Application sent: 9/7/12 Application received by ho:10/7/12 COA: 4/10/12 dated 2/10/12 RC: still waiting....

go on diane, give us the good news!

Congrats, Craxy!! I do have a question for you though - what was the excess attached to your wife's CSI? I'm a student as well and have found a super cheap insurance that has a "rolling" excess of £1500 and I just want to make sure that I won't get turned down for it not being "comprehensive" enoug...

Hey guys, So last night I drafted a letter for the UKBA to speed things up with my RC, but before I could post it out, luckily the postman came and he handed over my passport to me, with an RC. I would like to thank everyone on this forum, who has had kind words to say and share their experience, yo...

Hey guys, In case I don't get the RC in the next ten days, I am planning to write a letter to them, I want to let them know that its been 5 months, and we are on our way to the 6 months deadline. I don't know how to phrase the letter, don't want it to sound too harsh, but still want to get my point ...

Its ok, someone else will benefit from the info you posted.

I am now into 136 days since my application. Lets have a big party when I hit my 150 days, you guys!

Called today again. They told me to wait. Did you call to ask about the request of your passport? or just about your application. Just asked them about the status of the application, and just poke them a bit that I am closing in on 5 months. Didn't budge, I dont think the ppl in the call centre hav...

Can finally relax.

Special thanks to Directive/2004/EC for advice!

Congratulations!

Just in time for Christmas!

I couldnt sleep the whole night last night. This entire ordeal really is troubling me

And I guess I am pretty much certain about the trend.

Ppl generally receive their RC's on Thursdays/ Fridays/ or Saturdays.
