Hi Guys,

I am a South African married to an Italian passport holder.

Applied for the EEA FP. Did the application on 22nd August 2019. Did biometrics 23rd August 2019.

Got a mail on the 2nd September 2019 stating :

Your online application has been received at the UK Decision Making Centre. Your application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer.

Is it 15 days waiting from the time I got that mail or 15 days since I did biometrics ?

Hi everyone,
Can you please answer what are the next steps for Non-EU citizens after we did biometrics? I thought we'd need to post the passport, but after reading some other replies here got confused.

If we don't have to post the passport, who has to do it as it's clearly mentioned in the process for Non-EU applications?

Thank you!

Thank you!

When you go to do your biometrics ,your passport will be scanned as well.So remember to carry your passport for your biometric.Good luck.

He was legally married and he has his marriage cert i am assuming. His marriage has broken down as stated however he is not legally divorced so technically he is still a family member to his eea national spouse. I would advise he calls the support line and get advise from them directly.. of course without giving out too much info.

Any NON EU here applied without EU national Documents ? I'm separated from my EEA national and she won't give me photocopy of her ID and Residency proof. So annoying.

Hey, yes your case is same as mine but still have not heard from HO yet.

I fall in same category.Got separated from wife 6 yrs ago.Had my divorce last year.I applied with documents showing we were living together for the first 4 months of our marriage (bills).My wife has now changed her name too.

My time tine
Application submitted 02/06/2019
Biometric done 09/06/2019
CoA received 19/06/2019

Still waiting for the final outcome.I called resolution centre several time.Same message they kept on telling me.Your application in progress waiting for a case worker .The last time I called they told me my case is not straight forward ,it has been passed to a senior case worker.

Has anyone got similar experience of their case being passed to a senior case worker.Thanks guys.This forum has been so helpful.God bless you are.

ONLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE WAITING FOR DECESSION

Can you please kindly update yours waiting time .TIA

I applied on the 27 of July, my biometrics were taken on the 7th of August... I am still waiting, I haven’t even received my COA ... nothing, I have called them they admitted that my application is taking longer than normal, and the only reason it seems to be that I am not actually a EU citizen. They actually told me that they can’t tell me how much longer it is going to take, it could be a week or several months. This is mental, when you go to the guidelines it does not mention MONTHS...

......

Quick update just in case someone is waiting as long as me ...

After a month of submitting my biometrics, I have finally received an email wit the Certificate Of Application... now who knows how much longer I have to wait for the actual answer

Can i ask what kind of phone number did they call from?
After submitting evidence i did receive a phone call which i missed it was from some recruitment company in Leicester but on googling number they dont do any spam calls so i was wondering if i missed their call or was it just a spammer
