EEA4 fast processing times or wishful thinking

[s_safdar]

I called HO today and the person on the other end advised me to send a letter to Liverpool address ask regarding the application status.

Do you have any format related to this please?

[s_safdar]

Thanks Irfan.

I will speak with my local MP.

I got a call from my neighbour that Home Office visited my address this morning.

Does anyone knows if they will come back again?

I spoke with my neighbour and he told me that they were asking about me by showing my picture to him.

Depends what your neighbour told them.
Most probably, their decision will come now.

I have been chasing UKBA for my passport return via MP and phone calls, Yesterday i spoke to UKBA again and the confirmed that my passport will be dispatched tomorrow so i can travel.

But decision on application is not made yet, its already 6 months and 3 weeks now since i submitted my EEA4 Application.

The person i spoke yesterday told me that it will take upto 2 weeks more for my application to be decided. which means they are taking more than 7 months for my application

Hi aad682,

Could you please give us a quick overview of the documentation you've sent and in what basis have you applied (EEA exercising Treaty Rights as worker, self-sufficient, etc.)?

Cheers.

Thought I'd share a bit of my current situation

2003 came in UK Northen Ireland as a family member of an EEA via my step dad
2007 got EEA2 Residence permit valid April 2012
2010 applied for British Citizenship. Someone from UKBA on the phone adviced me that I automatically qualify to apply for BC and didn't need ILR or PR.
2010 june/July application for BRitish citizen denied due to a driving conviction in 2008 (no insurance/out of my control as it was cancelled by my step dad without my knowledge)
2010. Parents divorced and separated.
2011 lost my passport with RC attached to it.
2012. March Received new passport.
April Got married to my 1 and half year relationship boyfriend.
April Visa expired.
August. applied EEA4 and put my husbands name as sponsor. Ukba wrote back asking for my original sponsor which is my step dad. Or re apply using my husband as spouse. (Couldn't get documents from step dad due to the fact tat he left uk and now divorced to my mum.

2013 February. Capita got in contact with me stating I no longer have the right to live in the UK. At this point I just gave birth to my baby 2 weeks before they contacted me.
2013 July sent application eea4
August got all documents back. No fee included.
6th august sent all documents with fee
28th agust COA received with work.
2014 25th february. 6 months past. Rung them today to see about any progress, woman on the phone very helpful. Said the case is still on going process and will take another month or two. If still haven't heard from them to ring back again.

[AJ2014]

Good Afternoon

Can anyone please clarify what is what is the difference between Acknowledgement letter and COA?I have applied for EEA4 on 10/02/2014 and received a letter 12/02/2014.
Anyone who recently received PR can confirm what ref number they had on their letter.
Thanks

@Kristine015

If your husband is an Irish citizen, don't forget that you will be eligible for Irish citizenship after living in Northern Ireland for 3 years as the spouse of an Irish citizen. (This works even if your husband also have another citizenship)

Have a look at this: http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP11000014

All the best!

(PS: If your husband isn't Irish this doesn't work)

Hi chaoclive, thank you for your reply. My husband is indeed Irish national. I am also aware that i can apply to become irish citizen after 3 yrs marriage. However i still need a form of visa to show them i have the right to reside here with my husband. If in worst scenario i got denied for eea4 PR for not putting my original sponsor and using my husband i can always re-apply using eea2 form to obtain another 5 yr residency card this time my hubby can be the sponsor. The only downside is i will be give. 5 yrs RC instead of 10yrs PR But by 2015 april i can apply for irish citizenship. So hooray

Hi AJ2014,

Letter of acknowledgement is a form of letter to inform you that the UKBA Home Office have received your application.
Certificate Of Application comes a week or two later after you have sent your application. It is a letter that states wether you can work or not whilst they are on the process of making decisions your application. If your COA states that "you are permitted to accept offers of employment in the united kingdom, or to continue in employment in the United Kingdom, whilst the application is under consideration"
You then have to submit and show this letter to your employer and keep the original copy.

[AJ2014]

Thank You For the clarification,I have not received COA on my EEA4 application yet so I guess it will be a while,Does HO deal with applications according to Ref numbers on Acknowledgement letter?

Reference number and case ID is your own unique code. I'm guessing these references helps the border agency identify your case whilst dealing and making decision. It helps them identify WHEN you've applied, WHO you are and the current situation of your STATUS etc. they take notes and save your details on their system using this reference and case ID. But This are just my assumptions hope that helps
