PR/ May applications

[djabea]

Hi does anyone applied for PR ON may?its been over 6 weeks and no email confirmation or biometric letter thx in advance.

[agnetha007]

I have not received any confirmation either. Just requested my documents to be sent back. I am expecting the whole process to take 3 months at the very least, though.

[djabea]

I think 3 months for European but for non European will take much longer.

DCPRs need to be issued 'as soon as possible' after application, which could obviously mean anything. After 6 months you can follow up and get your MP involved.
Someone I know recently waited 5 and a half months for a DCPR; straight forward case; 5 years working full-time for the same company...this used to take approx. 3-5 weeks a few years back. But I do feel for the poor caseworkers who are probably completely overworked now with so many applications coming in before the referendum and also now that a DCPR is a requirement for citizenship...

[quote="LilyLalilu"]DCPRs need to be issued 'as soon as possible' I think its a matter of luck. Some cases take up to 6 months others less. We have families to support and they let us without anything to show to our employers after our residence expired.

it might be cos of the referendum and I guess so many Europeans are applying as well just to be on the safe side.it is better you give them a call and find out why

[djabea]

I already did they said 7 to 8 weeks just for biometric letter

[Yagazie]

a friend told me it takes 4 weeks to get the biometric letter from when your payment clears.but if they told you 6 to 7 weeks,you just have to be patient

[djabea]

Yes im waiting but... I have family to support abd im worrying about my work that's the problem.

[Yagazie]

try and get your mp involved as stated earlier by one of the commentators above,it may help to quicken the case

[djabea]

He did already an guess what. NOTHING so far.

[Yagazie]

follow it up with your mp,cos they will reply your mp and tell him why the delay

[djabea]

He chased them twice this week and he still waiting for an answer.

[Yagazie]

@dja did you get any reply now about your biometrics

[djabea]

Not yet mate

[Yagazie]

Are you applying as an eea or non eea

[djabea]

As a non
And they email me that they can't find the 2 pics included with the app so I sent them and im waiting.

[Yagazie]

ok that's fine and that could explain why they have not sent you the biometrics,hopefully you will get it anytime soon

[djabea]

I hope so but...im sur 10000%that the pictures were included with the application they just want cover their asses when they saw the delay.

[Yagazie]

that might be true,hopefully you will get what you want soon
