Residence card ..... Pending ....

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Hi there!
I'm in the same situation, our documents are in HO from last one month.
In COA was written that they have 6 months to issue RC, so nothing change, even those there is fee now.

guys, it a bit too early to think about decisions from HO now. if every thing is fine and now complications with your applications, then it is normally 4-5 months from date of submission.
you might come across some cases that were decided within 2-3 months but those are the exception to the rule.

good luck for you two

K well said,was just wondering because of the swiftness of the response I have received in terms of submission & reply.does this in anyway has to do with the recent fees they have started charging & which I payed(£55)

Well, it is possible. have to say you are on the lucky side to receive your COA within 11 days from application submission.

keep your fingers crossed and hopefully luck will stay in your side all the way through.
