How long takes to receive COA after been despatched from HO?

Post by spike_UK » Thu Apr 05, 2012 3:43 pm

Hi all, I had received a reply email from HO(Wednesday 28/03/2012) confirming that my COA has despatched from there office but I'm still waiting for it!!!
Any idea how long it might take? as it has been over a week now.
Many thanks.
Applied for EEA4 on 24/02/2012.
HO received on 27/02/2012.
Refusal received on 16/08/2012 dated 11/08/2012
At the court, the HO REP withdrawn the decision and asked me to send the DOC for the time before marriage.
PR dated 05/03/2013

It's usually sent second class post. I would allow 2 - 3 days, but it could be a little more in certain circumstances.

(Remember that tomorrow and Monday will be holidays for the postal service).
