I just need some clarity on the following items:

What exactly do they need when they ask for:
consultant's letter/ Medical report - do I need to go for a medical and add this to my application? As I am going through the application check-list to see if I have everything, some of the items don't pertain to me but I am concerned about this one, as I will then need to go and make the necessary appointments.

I have currently been granted employment which started last month, my Family Permit expires on the 22nd of August, I will be submitting my application to the UKBA before that, but concerned about the risk the company or I might be at if my permit expires before I get a letter back from the agency granting that I may continue working.

I receive all my mobile statements via email so as not to impact upon the environment, I know they say they need originals but how sticky are they with this rule?

I have two full files of documents on myself and my partner, a little concerned I may have included too much information, is there any logical manner in which to organise all your documents to aide the professional who receives my documents. i have tried to put it as logically as possible.

I have read various posts that the application time is around 4 months now, is this true or should I not get my hopes up too soon?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thank you very much.

You need to give us more information, e.g. married/unmarried, nationality of your partner, if/how they are exercising their treaty rights (this will determine if comprehensive medical insurance is required). I'm not sure about the medical report myself, but I'm sure someone else on here will know.

You may need to print some pages of your mobile phone bill and for proof of address, I think (not sure) the rule is usually 5 pieces of evidence that show joint names or three pieces for each individual from different sources.

Waiting times are on average just under 4 months, you get confirmation of your application about a month after sending it in the form of a COA (Certificate Of Application). Recently, a couple of people have had theirs sooner, but we do not know the exact reason behind it.

It may be it is a new efficiency drive or maybe they were just lucky, if you are married that will usually confirm your right to work but for unmarried it's at their discretion.

I hope this helps a bit, others will be able to give you more info soon.

Good luck

The most important advice would be to stay in your original thread. In that way people willing to help out here wouldn't have to ask about your details everytime or try to figure out where you have posted some detail.
