They always take the full 6 months, probably on purpose. Best case scenario people get it one week before the 6 months, worst case a day or two after.

Thanks for ur kind reply, Its good to contact them or should just leave them till the last day??

If you are like me, you will probably get a bit stressed and contact them a bit before the end (especially if you are a visa national or need the Stamp 4 to work, in which case a delay in getting the card can be fairly annoying).

Objectively it probably won't change much (my partner still go her letter 2 working days late and was on a forced holiday during that time), but it can't hurt to remind then you exist and get insurance that they haven't forgotten about you.

my partner got his EU Family Card after 6 month and 8 days and his GNIB Card had expired a few days before.

Thanks jeupsy, one more qesion,,
if some passport is expiring in 6 month , he should renew his passport first and then go to get 4eu fam or u can go with the same passport and if you renew later ,would they put a new stamo on it????

[jeupsy]

If the passport is expiring in less than 5 years, they will give a stamp and a GNIB card which expire on the same day as the passport. But his residence right will still be the same and when he gets his new passport you can go there togheter again to get a new card and stamp for the rest of the 5 years.

If he can get his new passport before getting the stamp, it will save you a morning of waiting at the immigration office ... But if he can't it probably isn't a big deal.

Thanks jeupsy, what about if some gets the approval letter from eu treaty rights but goes to get 5 years stamp and gnib card after 10 days ,and his temporary stamp expires 10 days ago , would be a problem??? or it doesnt make any difference???? thanks

There is no problem. Your approval letter is a permission to remain in the state. Registration with the GNIB can be done after month..
