Application posted on: 11 FEB

Payment taken on: 13 FEB
Sent email to enquire about biometrics: 5 MAR (3 weeks after payment)
email sent to eurobiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
Requested return of EU spouse documents: 19 FEB, followed up 11 MAR
Reply from eurobiometric apologising and confirming letter sent: 21 MAR

Biometrics letter received: 23 MAR
Biometrics submitted: 25 MAR
Sent another request to Home office for return of documents: 2 APR
Documents returned with letter that BRC will arrive in 10 days: 4 APR
BRC received: ??

I did not receive any communication from the Home Office for 3 weeks after my payment was taken. The help line advised I should send an email after waiting 6 weeks to eurobiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk. I went ahead and sent it anyway (at the 3 week) and thats what prompted a confirmation email and biometrics letter.

It took them 9 weeks to decide and to finally issue the card. I'm writing this to give others hope. My advice is to enclose a short cover letter and a pre-paid envelope - this might speed up the process (I didn't bother though).
