Hello everyone.

I have applied for EEA FAMILY PERMIT but failed to provide supporting documents at VFS. Passport was returned with refusal letter

If I re-apply, will my visa processing time be the same as someone who is applying for the first time? Or will it delay as i am submitting the second time.

It should be exactly that same time as a new application, no reason why it should be longer.

Hi Simran,

Congratulations and all the best.
I am preparing for my application, could you please let me know the documents checklist?
Also how to submit digital pictures and chat conversations?

Thanks much in advance.

Hello All,

I received finally my EEA FP yesterday! I hope and pray that all of you waiting get to see your families very soon! It has been a little over 7 months for me.
I applied on - 09.05.2017 and received it on 15.11.2017
It has been a long wait and a tough one but I wanted to thank everyone for their support! It has been such a relief to see others receive their visas and that is what kept me hoping!

Just to let you know - I escalated my case twice..I received a decision 5 days after applying for the second escalation. I am not sure weather this helped but I did contact my MP who didn't respond to any email. So I would suggest, if anyone has waited for a period of 6 months and over, its worth escalating. (I say this from my experience)

If there is anyone who can guide me regarding the application for a residence card, it would be very helpful! I have a 6 months visa after which I would like to stay back with my husband in the UK. I cannot travel in and out of the country once this visa expires. What if I have not received my RC by then? Can I still live in the UK without a formal document?

Any help will be appreciated.

Good luck to those who are waiting!
Simran

I have called the Government complaint for phone and they told me to wait a week and if no receipt nothing they have given me a number to send it directly where the Visa status is decided. Is that normal?
Moreover my lawyer says that in two weeks will do a letter stating that it has passed the limit of waiting for my Visa and is going to bring to the Court.
Someone has same problem than me? I applies from Madrid, Spain. 26/5/2017
