EU settlement - Non EU family member - CoA and decision time

[rebmar]

I am a non-EEA spouse of an Italian. He applied for and received settled status within 2 weeks of his application. I do not have anresidence permit or BRC as I've entered the UK with the EEA treaty stamp at the airport. I've been living with my husband in the UK since August 2018 and applied for pre-settled status.

Submitted my application: May 24th
Biometrics: May 29
COA: May 30
Decision: Still waiting

I sent an email to enquire about the progress of the application around June 3rd. They responded within 2 days that my biometrics have been received and verified & that my case was being considered. I called resolution centre yesterday (June 27) but pretty much got the same answer that was in my email. Hoping for a decision soon.

Just birth certificate to prove relationships
Student loan letters to show living together
Gp letter to show appointments with address on it
Utility bills in dads name since cane to uk
His passports and PR card
And then linked his application to mine using his reference number .

That’s all

@axeman85

Hi @Hayley01
Have you heard anything since the biometrics? from your MP or the scheme? Thanks!

Hi @Hayley01

Hi Jamiemi,

Not heard anything back since the biometric appointment. They responded to my MP to say there was some confusion around BRP vs BRC and that is what was caused the 'slight' delay in my application and they said a letter had been sent to me to go and enrol my biometrics( the letter was on the 14th of June). Now in month number 4 and still waiting

I'm non-EU wife of Italian husband. He has applied for the settled status today and received COA.
Before I apply for myself and link my application to his, I would like to know for how long they will keep my residence card (to be sent by post to verify my identity) before returning it to me?
Will they scan it and send back regardless of when a decision will be made?
Or will they keep it until the very end of the application?

Thanks

Depending on the individual circumstances, you probably only need to scan it through the EU APP ( https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-the-e ... -check-app ). But if you have to send it in, which i doubt then they send it back with 4 working days, not until the application is decided.

Thanks for the heads up. I can now see in https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-ci ... d-to-apply where it says:

Scan your document
You can only use the ‘EU Exit: ID Document Check’ app for Android to scan your document if you have one of the following:

valid EU, EEA or Swiss passport or ID card, if its biometric
UK-issued biometric residence card

And I do have the biometric residence card.

Thanks again!

BRP card came today in post.

Wish all those waiting the best !!

Hello everyone,

I’m posting this as when I was waiting for my application outcome, I found this forum very helpful. So my timeline is application submitted online 10/5/2019, ID documents received on the 12/5/2019. Made quite a few calls to the resolution centre, was told all fine until week 5 when someone spotted a mistake on my application. So all those 5 weeks, they said was fine and nothing to worry about. Called during the sixth week, someone helpful saw there was no movement on my application for 5 weeks escalated it and received COA on the 20/6. Was told by caseworker who called to inform me that it would be pre settled only as system glitch put me as settled so would receive results within one week but actually just received pre settled status today 1/7.

Hi I applied for eu settlement scheme for settled status 18 May I had biometrics 21 I get email to post passport to liver pool 31 got another email to provide facial image then on 6 of June got coa since now I have nothing my wife got settled status in 1 working day any advice.thanks to all

[mulder]

I get email to post passport to liver pool

I thought one is allowed to keep passport when applying for EU Settlement Scheme.

Did they tell you why they wanted you to post it to them?

[A00]

They just ask want to verify identity I am bit worried but they send my passport back I fort to mention is it normal now it's nearly 2 month to my application.

It says on the website, depending on individual cases especially with non EEA
> you will be either asked to send your Passport in for identity verification but returned within 4 working days ( excluding the time it takes from it to get to them)
> you will be required to book a biometrics appointment or scan your current brc using the '' eu exit app''

So essentially its standard procedure.. But waiting time for non eea tends to take longer from what i've read on this platform, average of 6 weeks, some people received their decision 3 months after applying.
Hope that little info is useful

[Jamiemi]

Ah okay thanks @Hayley01, let's see what happens - I am hitting 3 months this weekend.

Hello, here is my bit in case it helps anyone.

I am the non-EU unmarried partner of an EU national with settled status. I applied for Pre-Settled.

Applied online: 25 June
Biometrics: 30 June (Croydon)
CoA: 2 July at 10:15 am
Decision Letter: 2 July at 12:04

For the online application I submitted a power bill since it only asked me to show residence for a single day in the past 6 months. For the relationship evidence I only submitted my EEA Family Permit (which I just got on June 1st) stamped by the immigration officer at Gatwick. This was all scanned files, did not send my passport anywhere.

I was surprised to get a decision almost immediately after the CoA, in fact I found the whole process super quick, from what I had been reading on this forum I thought I had a couple of weeks to wait and was even sure they would reply asking for more documentation. Now just waiting for the card to arrive, good luck to everyone.

[Jamiemi]

Received an email today saying that I have been granted pre-settled status - 3 months after application! Further information regarding BRC and official letter is on the way.
Timeline (Tier 2 visa, married to EU citizen for 1 year)
Applied online on the 6th of April (made a mistake with using my Tier 2 BRP)
Got asked to send in my documents by post (they received it on 9th of April)
Multiple calls and emails to EU settlement scheme enquiring about the delay (the delay was due to me submitting my Tier 2 BRP) + a letter from my MP at the end of June
Biometrics appointment invitation by mail (20th of June)
COA - never received one - no idea why..?
3rd of july - sent them another email through their online enquiry form asking for an update
Today (4th of July) - received a reply to that enquiry, where it said that I've been granted pre-settled status and a letter confirming it along with information on BRC is on the way.

Any body eating for decision coa issued 28 days ago.

[AngiCeramics]

Non eu spouse, not holding any BRC, no EEA Family permit.

Applied: 15 APRIL 2019
Biometrics appointment: 17 APRIL 2019 (Croydon)
Decision: Pre-settled status 04 JUL 2019 @ 02:00 PM
Waiting : BRP CARD

All the process took almost 3 months for me. I had never called Home office until 2 or 3 weeks ago and they told me they would speed the case up since I'd been waiting for so long and my application seemed correct. Nothing happened, so I called again 3 days ago, and they told me same thing, they would speed my case, and if I didn't get any news in two weeks I should call again. But today I got the e-mail! Now waiting for the BRP card.
Do you know if I need to get NIN, or with this new online system is enough for work?

Thanks! Good luck

[askmeplz82]

I just received a Call from Home office

this is what they want. Can you explain .. I can send any 5 years continues ? I was married in 2010
