I'm getting a little bit worried because I haven't received my COA. Today it's the10th working day since I did my biometrics and nothing has arrived to my mail. Does anyone have the email contact to he home office to ask about this situation?

I've seen that people get their COA like 3 or 4 days after they do theyir biometrics

Thank you!

Update:

COA with Work. 24/08/17 (dated 21/08/17)

Finally.

Now I was worndering if anyone has the same problem. I call to registrer for a National Insurance number since now I'm allowed to work I call the number and the operator told me that if I haven't got my documents from home office I can't apply for a NI. So.. what should I do? I mean I have the cCOA that allows me to work. Right?

Hello,
I had a question, my wife`s 5 year residence card will expire in May 2018, but she came to the UK in September 2012. Can she apply for the PR in September (when 5 years are completed) or wait until May 2018 to apply?
Thanks

Curious to know why 8 months is going to make a big difference. ~Even if she gets PR from Sept 2017, she will have to wait one year to apply for citizenship. By then certainly PR will not long apply and settled status will be applicable and you will have to go through the process again. It will cause only stress. If she has been working from September 2012 she would be eligible but if she was looking for work initially, the clock would start from the time she exercised treaty rights which means either she was working or looking for work and was on CSI.

First this forum is for PR timeline not NI. You have been residing here more than 5 years and you dont know what NI is? You have been living in the country without a NINO for 5 years?

Actually 8 months makes a big difference in case she is eligible for PR in September 2017.As far as I'm concerned, the registration for settled status will be voluntary till the actual Brexit - till end of the March 2019. Till then is business as usual.If she gets PR in September this year, she will be eligible to apply for BC in September 2018. If she becomes BC , she won't have to apply for settled status. Having in mind the unknown fee for settled status and the requirements, this might be straightforward way to secure her status.

You can use photocopy of your passport data page and COA letter with work permit to obtain NI number. My friend used it and am 99.9% sure.

In that case, why delay your application? Apply in September and see what happens. If refused you can reapply in May 2018 which will be around 2-3 months after getting your refusal letter. Only £65 would be lost.
Just a point Im making is nobody knows how settled status will work. Because as soon as they introduce settled status, they will discontinue PR. and when P~R is discontinued for British C u will need to reapply for settled status. One news report I read said its expected to be introduced in Summer of 2018.

Hi all

Congratulations fatimahh.

Hello,
I had a question, my wife`s 5 year residence card will expire in May 2018, but she came to the UK in September 2012. Can she apply for the PR in September (when 5 years are completed) or wait until May 2018 to apply?
Thanks

She can apply for PR from 5 years from your marriage. Not from the date/RC issued or when she arrived in the UK (provided all criterias are met).
