Hi guys, I haven't heard any good news yet, however I sent the appeal off with all fingers and toes crossed. I sent it to the UK office and they said they have sent it to South Africa for reconsideration. They have about a month to get back to the AIT to tell them that they will issue the visas or ...

Hello All,

We have been working hard on the petition and hope to have it published in the coming week so please stay posted to this forum for more info.

For those who are meant to get in touch with me, I still await your correspondence.

Thanks

Were you able to access your IM lapkapups?

Forgot to say, please send me the scanned documents as 'word' attachments.

Thanks!

Hello, I just began looking at this great site, and I do apologise if this has been asked already, but... How do my husband and I inform the home office of our new address? We applied jointly for EEA1/2 at the beginning of April and have recieved our Certificate of Applications. It says on the EEA2...

Hey everyone, I will go home and check the COA letter dates but I'm quite sure my husband and I received our letters around 20 days after the application was received by the Home office (7th march). I am hoping they will not delay our applications so much that the 6 month limit will be exceeded but...

The approval letter is not dated within 6 months. The deadline was 20th May and the letter is dated 28th which gives us 8 unlawful days (not speaking about the fact that obviously I didn't receive it on the 28th yet). I'll wait for the email :) I sent you a PM (with my email address) on this forum ...

I can give COA issued on 3rd December (I applied 20th Nov) and letter enclosed with the endorsed passport which was issued on 28th May. It's not too long a time after the deadline and I don't have any proofs I received the documents back only 4th June. Will this do? How do we submit docs? Your supp...

Plum, I and my husband support you hundred percent! That's great lapkapups and mimiki. Thanks for your support! What we need is: 1. Evidence of a delayed COA (issued in a few weeks instead of 'immediately' as stated in law) 2. Evidence that the application of a residence card was processed over the...

I have received my residence card on friday.The summary is, I applied for it on 13 october 2007.Mean time I wrote 2 complaint letters to home office.I put my complaint to solvit as well.Then I received a letter from home office regrading my complaint,it was written that my application was decided o...

Hi everybody, finally I got my passport back. If you have waited for your residence card for more than 6 months, call the manchester complaint department, the tel no. of which is 0161 261 1117. If you cant get through, try a few more times, the easiest time for me to get through this line is betwee...

Hello All, For those of us who have been caught in the non compliant practices of the HO wrt the issuance of EEA residence cards within the 6 month limit (as set out in community law), this is your time to speak out for a change! I am leading a forum regarding this matter and will be lodging a joint...

Hi there i am new to this forum and have a few questions i hope someone could answer.Ill be brief.In 2000 i came to uk on a working holiday and met my spouse.In the end of 2002 my visa ran out. I returned back to south africa. 4 months later i returned as a visitor and after 3 months got married to...

Hello all, this is slightly off topic but very relevant if you want to save some quids! I just got some valuable info: If you are a frequent caller of 0845, 0870, 0844 numbers and are feeling the pinch (especially those of us constantly calling the HO ;) ) then, SAY NO TO 0870 NUMBERS www.saynoto087...

We've been married only since October but we've been together for over two years and now we too can carry on with out lives as well. Even if they had refuse...

A story of a Dutch / Turkish in the Netherlands falling in love and marrying to a Turkish in Turkey. It has been a while we are married now. Almost two whole years gosh! Thanks to the strict immigration rules coming into force thenadays in whole Europe, first probably the Netherlands, we were seper...

Hi everyone, My wife and I are also waiting for EEA1+EEA2 (applied in January). I think what we MUST do is we must make a petition or maybe initiate a class action suit with European court (I'm not a lawyer, please someone competent advise us what is the proper EU body and the proper action we shou...

My sentiments exactly mastermind. I am airing similar views in a different forum. I agree with the idea of returning passports and giving provisional permits. I also am of the opinion that the COA needs to be made more concise and relevant to the individual applicants. I am also waiting for my EEA r...

Hey Lapkapups, congrats! Have you actually seen your passport yet? It must feel great to have it in your clutches after almost 7 months ay?

Is it valid for 5 years as normal?

I read on another website that a lady's application was decided on 7th of may and she recieved the residence card on 28th of may, accordingly it took about three weeks to actually recieve the docs after the decision was made. Hey mimiki, which site did you pick this up from? Do you know when the la...

Hey guys, Going by the updates and your experience with the HO, it's safe to say that you are almost home and dry. There is no reason to think that your applications have been refused unless there is serious reasons. My application was received by the HO on the 30th of Jan. '08 so I guess I have abo...
