Sept 7 2010 : sent application (and kissed our passports goodbye)
Nov 5 2010: CoA - finally!! although it was dated Sept 9 2010
Jan 19 2011: RC!!!!!!

total: 4 months and 11 days. I didn't contact them for any reason.
I am married to my EU partner, and our application was fairly straightforward.

What a relief! I hope everyone will get theirs soon - waiting is not fun!

HI!
I applied on Sept 2010 for an EEA2. Still waiting. For the Residence Stamp I waited 11 months, and when I got my passports back I only had 2 weeks left to fill again another application before the Residence Card expired. This time I don't really want to suffer that much. I see that everybody said they called and get responses about the status of thair application. I phoned UKBA lots of time when applying for RS and they told me nothing, also wrote mails, and nothing. Can someone post the telephone number we have to calll to ask about the status of my appliction.
Thank you.

I called today UKBA and was told that all the documents sent y.day. Waiting for the Post

Hi, I saw this and that's great I would like to know where are u from and where is your husband from, because i sent my application on 02/12/2010, and not COA receive yet, and something else that i'm worried about is that my passport expired this january 22th 2011, if someone else can tell me if that represents a problem it would be very helpful...
Thanks

HI!
Could you post the phone number you are calling? I have tryied to reach UKBA to the " european cases" phone line, but it is just a machine and when they answer, they tell me they cannot give any info by phone.

Thanks.

When did you receive EEA1? Because me and my husband applied for EEA2 & 1 on November. But until now, my husband still has not received his EEA1. Is that normal? I thought there was a 21 days rule for EEA1.

Hi Guys,

Just called the HO to ask if they sent me updated coa with thr ight to work since we got married last month, and the gentelman said to me that the decision has been made and i will receive my document within the next 10 days. i tried to ask few time if he can tell me if its yes or not but he refused to tell me the decision. it will be hard few days until my lawyer call me with hopefully good news.

Good luck to us all.

[bidasoa]

For us:
Application received by HO on 29/09/2010.
Received COA on the 29/10/2010 (issued on 20/10/2010).

Called HO this afternoon (for the 1st time) to ask the status of our application and I was told our file had been sent back on 21/01/2011. The girl told me it normally takes 7 days to be delivered.

Fingers crossed. Good luck to everybody!

Hi guys,
-Received my RC stamped on 7/01/2011 in my passport due to expire next month february

Your passport is expiring next month? You will have to re-apply for a new RC with your new passport?

It's no problem with the UK as you just carry both passports with you when travelling. It's unlcear, however, how that may work with other countries and embassies.
