Just thought I would post to let you know that I received my RC today.

Thank you Ben and Directive/2004/38/EC so much - I doubt I would be in England were it not for you two.

Cheers, Carla

I got my RC! I'm so relieved. I sent them one letter by fax to request that my application be expedited on 4 March, citing several reasons, and my RC is dated 5 March. My 6 months was up on 14 March, so I'm pleased I didn't have to wait as long as a lot of others. Now I'm going to book some holidays...

Hey, I've been told my docs have been sent by recorded delivery on Tues, so they should arrive today. I want to sit at home and wait for the postman, but I have to go to work. Luckily my husband is working from home today so he'll be here to sign for it. I'll let you know as soon as I get home, plea...

No, but if my eea2 app is refused then I will be :-/

Fiancees are not extended family members. "EUN2.12 Can fiancé(e)s, and proposed civil partners qualify for an EEA family permit?

you still need to pay any applicable fee

Yes, Britney Spears is an excellent example of someone else who entered into a marriage for the wrong reasons. This is a public forum, there is no need to become irate because someone expressed an opinion that differs from one which you would like to hear. Why did your solicitor advise you to remain...

Im sorry but why are you going about my marriage was for convenience? The HO already granted me a Residence Card in 2005 and again I ve proven my Right of Retention of Residancy, its clear my marriage has nothing to do with that. Even the HO is convinced so I dont have to prove to anyone else. than...

677ano - I'm still stressed, I won't be able to relax until I know for definite that I have the RC.

Forza - the HO wrote to me on 30 November requesting further evidence that my sponsor and I are living together. I have heard nothing from them since.

I'll be happy when I have my passport and RC!

I applied on 14 September 2009.

I called Liverpool yesterday (12/03) and they told me that a decision was made on Thursday (11/03) and that my passport etc is waiting to be despatched by special delivery. So that's good news. I don't know yet what their decision is, but at least they have made one within 6 months.

We have sent an email to our local MP this afternoon, so fingers crossed! We will keep you all posted on how that goes. SOLVIT my husband is pursuing our case with them, so we will keep you guys informed once we get any news. Fact is all we can do is keep the pressure on and not lose hope. Those ar...

I am of the opinion that the EEA FP route is not for you. The EEA FP is for family/extended family members of EEA nationals who want to join their EEA family member in the UK. You can't just fly to Geneva and apply for the EEA FP and return to the UK a few days later. If you went to live in Switzerl...

Any one know if they will deporting me or i have to go home. they write me ,,YOU WILL BE REMOVED TO UKRAINE,, haw they do that...i still not receive my passport back???????????!!!!! thank you It is likely that you will not receive your passport until you are on the plane. I was detained on entry to...

I think it's pathetic for them to use the excuse that people have been waiting longer than me so I'm not going to have my case resolved sooner. Who's fault is it that other people have been waiting since 2008? I'd love to see what is going on in that office. Can they not offer their staff some overt...

I've just called Liverpool and have been told that "the notes on the system suggest that they are close to making a decision" and I should know by the end of the month. He wouldn't tell me what the notes were. He said there's nothing they can do to process it faster and I've only been waiting since ...

Where did this thought come from?

If you intend to stay until June 2012, then I would put 2.5 years. I put 2 years in my application, and included a short cover letter explaining our situation, and that my husband and I intend to live in the UK for approximately 2 years so he could further his career before moving to Australia (wher...

I applied on the 14th of September, so my 6 months is up in one week. I sent Liverpool a fax last week to give them a heads up and asking if they could expedite resolution of my case. I was expecting it to take a lot longer than 6 months, so if I could get my RC in the next few weeks I would be ove...

When I applied for an EEA FP (twice) in Madrid, I had to submit an online application before being able to choose an appointment time at the consulate. I had to print off the application and take it with me to the consulate otherwise I would not have been allowed in. I had to submit biometric data t...

Just thought I would give a quick update. My wife gave birth to our baby girl on Wednesday, and both are doing great. Getting registered at the doctors was easy, we just needed to open a bank account in her name for proof of residency. We are still awaiting her National Insurance Number, but think ...

Still waiting, both myself and my partner have a residence permit to reside in the UK till Jan 2012 under the tier 1 so I dont need a residence permit and am not an EU citizen so the numbers 01516725626 08451015200 Dont apply for me...I called their normal number and they say that they can only cha...
