Hi everyone! I'm non-EU spouse of EEA citizen who is working full-time here. This is my timeline :

Application sent - 12/02
Received by HO - 15/02
COA - 29/02 (unable to confirm right of work..)
Biometric letter - 18/03
Biometric Completed - 24/03
Request Form for Passports Returned - 23/05
Progress Request Form Sent - 9/06
2nd Progress Request Form Sent - 15/06
Email sent to request Passports - 20/06 (email address - lnc22rodsinbox@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk)
Passport returned - 24/06
RC - ??

I did need my passport to travel with my husband to France in June, so I got it back just in time. When coming back on the EuroStar, I did need to show them my COA & the letter that came with the passport return (they had to make some phone calls & then gave me a stamp in my passport good for 6 months in the UK -- at least I can travel while waiting for this!). So if you're thinking of traveling, bring all the documentation that you have on hand & let them know your application is being processed. Hopefully we'll start seeing good news soon!

Hi all-abroad

I found your response very helpful as I am about to put my application in for EEA RC before my Tier 5 YMV expires. I am non EEA but my husband is Spanish passport holder, working and living in the UK.

I have a query regarding requesting passports back in case on an emergency etc

'Application sent - 12/02
Received by HO - 15/02
COA - 29/02 (unable to confirm right of work..)
Biometric letter - 18/03
Biometric Completed - 24/03
Request Form for Passports Returned - 23/05
Progress Request Form Sent - 9/06
2nd Progress Request Form Sent - 15/06
Email sent to request Passports - 20/06 (email address - lnc22rodsinbox@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk)
Passport returned - 24/06
RC - ??'

Does requesting passports back affect your application? I have just seen numerous answers and im not too sure. I think its more for peace of mind that it is possible to request your passport back.

Also, you stated that your COA - unable to confirm right of work? - so does that mean you are unable to work while you RC is being processed?

Thank you!

Hi All,

Finally some good news today. I have collected by documents and PR card today from my solicitor.

Here my timelines -
Application posted: 03/02/16
Application received: 04/02/16
Payment taken:09/02/16
Biometric done and sent: 01/03/16
COA letter received: 11/03/16 (dated 05/03/16)
Documents recieved - 03/08/2016
PR card recieved - 04/08/2016 (dated 01/08/2016).

Processing time - 6 months exactly but seems to be increasing slowly due to referendum result.

What a big relief!!! Now I can sleep peacefully for next couple of weeks.

I have applied based on my spouse employment, Self-employed as Limited Company and full-time uni student and I have kept every possible supporting documents on this earth. Happy to help with any questions in future. I would suggest just follow the supporting documents guidlines which comes with the application.

Best of Luck for all you waiting for good news!!!!
