Hi everyone, Hope someone had a similar situation and can help with advice. It's quite an immigration conundrum. My partner and I are in a civil partnership (i.e. same-sex couple) registered in UK. I'm an EU national and my partner got his FP for 5 years in April 2013. We have already traveled to Sp...

Hi , I did receive the refusal notification letter dated 6/4/13 on Saturday 13/04/13. As promised,here are the reasons for refusal. The case worker said: 1.I need to submit an INDEPENDENTLY AUDITED BUSINESS BANK ACCOUNT detailing the trading activity of the company. 2.Evidence of NI 2 contribution ...

You should definitely update UKBA with any supporting docum...

The guideline regarding CSI suggests that the private health insurance must cover in majority of circumstances. Therefore, if the plan covers in most of the health related issues then it should be fine. Thanks for replying sheraz7. The thing is, "health insurance must cover in majority of circumsta...

Re-Submitted EEA1 and EEA2 received 17/09/2012 NO COA, NO RC I have yet to hear from my MP about what the UKBA responded. UKBA admitted last week they have not yet processed my application. My post-study visa expired 11/10/12 and I have no COA to at least show UK Border that I have not illegally ov...

Hi everyone! I'm sure this question has been asked a lot, but I would like to get some up-to-date information on CSI. As the descriptions are very vague, it's hard to tell which private plan would be considered comprehensive without risk of rejection. We've just got our RC for 5 years and as my non-...

@enic: did u request them for ur passport or without request u got ur RC. Nope, haven't contacted them since I've sent my application back in Oct 2012. Wrote them a letter to update them about my employment status change but I guess the decision was already made before that anyway, since the RC is ...

Congratulations Egyptian lover! Seems UKBA remembered our applications! We've just received ours too, mine's dated 16 March and my non-EEA partner's RC was issued on 19th Feb, they kept it for 6 weeks before sending it... Anyway, I'm glad this nightmare is over, thank you everyone for your support a...

Have you sent them a letter/email reminding of your application deadline? Have you contacted your MP to get in touch with UKBA? findyourmp.parliament.uk Hi :) No, I haven`t sent any letter/email. Today I called to them, but I was just told that they have so many applications and that`s way it takes...

Hi, I am new here but I am following this topic from few months. I am Polish, my husband is Indian, we sent our application on 6/09/12 so it will be soon 7 months!! :x Hi milka, welcome! Have you sent them a letter/email reminding of your application deadline? Have you contacted your MP to get in t...

I'm Oct applicant in waiting as well.
Final week. Fingers crossed.
Otherwise - I'm prepared to contact all possible authorities to complain.
Good luck to all of us!

I'm also waiting... final days.
With Easter break now my only hope is next week.
It will be 6 months on the nose.
Don't loose hope everyone!

Hello Guys, The wait is finally over; I have received my RC today. It says on it "residence card of a family member of an EEA national." Tip: I have waited to go over the 5 month to request my passport. In that case, they probably said that it will be silly to send the passport alone while there is...

Hey Guys, I checked the history of November application on this forum. Have a look at that. It looks like I was right... UKBA are working backwards for 2012 application. It seems that they will probably process our applications in a couple of weeks... BuTanka Application Sent: 26/11/2012 RC Receive...

This thread should be renamed to "October Applicants - Unite!"

6 months without passports - who can live like this?

Great idea, I'm in! Already 30 signatures.

Hi... I suggest to all of you wait 2 more weeks before doing anything and then we should make a plan and we all should send email on the same day to UKBA. I agree with sharingbuzz. Until 6 months are officially up, our hands are tied. Once October applicants are over 6 months, we should send a coll...

I'm also an October applicant and we're still waiting... I wonder what happened in UKBA that they are issuing people their RC within a month or two or even just a few weeks... and the rest are waiting up to 6 months and more. If our waiting time goes beyond 6 months, we should definitely make a grou...

Im an October applicant as well. As I said before it seems like our case worker is a useless person, I still cant believe how people who applied in Dec, Jan and EVEN Feb are receiving their RC so quick, madness. UKBA is the worst thing in the world, I hope they have something to give them a feedbac...

It seems October 2012 was definitely not a good time to apply.
Not sure what's happening, but we had all the docs in order but still waiting.
Hope I won't have to involve my MP.

EEA2 and EEA1 sent: 08/10/12

Thanks for the detailed answer sheraz7! The multiple "or"s and "and"s confuse me a bit, so if I understand correctly in my situation (having been employed for less than a year, involuntarily unemployed): As long as I am unemployed less than 6 months, registered with JobCentre and can prove that I am...

I've just learned from a friend that I cannot claim any benefits (jobseekers allowance included) if we wish to apply for PR in 5 years time. At least I can stay unemployed for a month or two and that will count towards my Treaty period, right? Anyone else had a situation where they've been unemploye...
