Application for EEA2 EFM and EEA RC card at the same time (New Zealand/Hungarian couple - not married).

Resident Card Received: ??
Documents Returned: ??

NZ passport received: 28/07/2016

All Documents returned for both applications: 14/12/2016
RC received for my partner (Hungarian): 14/12/2016

(All our supporting documents were received together, they also included my EU partner's UK residency card within the same package, because she applied for this at the same time that I applied for my EEA2 EFM RC card. The special courier envelope I had self-addressed and provided for them was not used, they returned this to me.)

RC received for myself (NZ citizen): Still nothing yet

16/01/2017: Called Home Office on 0300 123 2253 to chase progress of my RC card as I still haven't received it. My 6 month mark passed on 27 November 2016. They took my details and said I will be contacted in the next 5 days. Received a call 3 hours later from someone else at the Home Office clarifying what is outstanding (to which I confirmed, only the RC card for the non-EU citizen). They again said I will receive contact within the next 5 days probably by post.So now I'm waiting for that.

EEA2 FM - Non-EEA to be clear

Application posted: 27/6/16
Application received: 28/06/16
Payment taken: 06/07/16
Biometrics letter received: 29/07/16
Biometrics provided: 04/08/16
COA: 06/08/16

Note (and this is interesting), we requested a call back on 13/01/17. They called us back on 16/01/17, and gave us no indication as to the status of the application, outside of "it's nearing completion". It turns out it was more than likely posted that very day.

Documents and letter received confirming a successful application received 17/01/17

So for others in the same position as us (i.e. 6 months and a number of weeks had passed), even if you request a call back and they give you a non answer - don't loose faith, it still could be only a day away. They didn't tell us anything when they called even though it's more than likely the decision had been made at the time of the call.

UPDATE:

Application for EEA QP (student) & EEA FM posted together

Application posted : 22/06/2016
Received by Home Office : 24/06/2016
Biometric letter : 26/07/2016
Biometric enrolment: 02/08/2016
C.O.A : dated 09/08/2016
Residence card : Received 16/01/2016 (dated 12/01/2017)
Documents returned: Not yet received.

Interestingly, I had called the Home Office EU team to ask for a progress update on 12/01/2017 and received a call back on 13/01/2017. I was then informed that my application was still in progress?! And that I would have to continue to wait. So I guess that's just their standard reply when they just want to get rid of the caller because clearly a decision had been made on our application then already.
