EEA EFM received by HO but no payment taken a week later

[violet_1133]

Hi all,

thanks for all the help and support so far!

I have a pretty urgent question regarding page 9 of the application form https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... -03-19.pdf . Here the application asks for details of my previous BRPs, however it says :

"In this section, the term ‘residence card (biometric format)’ means a residence card, permanent
residence card or derivative residence card issued under the EEA Regulations after you have
given your biometric information. This is issued as a separate biometric card and not as a
vignette or sticker in your passport, travel document, or other document. "

Does this mean that on page 10 I should tick NO, on the question:

"Have you been issued with a residence card (biometric format) or biometric residence permit
(BRP) in connection with a previous application under the EEA Regulations or for leave to
remain?"

I have only had Tier 2 and Tier 4 BRPs before.

I'm sorry if this is an obvious question, I think the correct answer is no but I wanted to check!

Thanks

Tier 2 & 4 applications are applications for leave to remain and you would have a BRP based on them. Therefore the answer is Yes.

Hi all,

Thanks for all the help so far.

I'm (of course) being impatient, but we sent the EEA EFM application on Thursday last week (02/05), it was received and signed for early Friday morning (03/05) but HO are yet to take the processing payment. I've been reading the Timelines Only topic and most people seem to have payment taken 1-2 days after they have sent the application. I know the card details included are correct as we checked 5 times.

I'm basically worried they have misplaced or lost my parcel on the premises. Obviously I'm just thinking the worst and it's probable a lot of applications arrived over the bank holiday.

However, I was wondering if anyone else has had the payment take a bit longer, as well as if there is a number to call to make sure they have the application? I assume I can't call anywhere as I do not have a case number assigned yet so they have no way of confirming my application is being dealt with but I wanted to ask if anyone is in a similar situation.

Thanks!
