Hi afridi,

I had to give them a call to get the certificate of application and then I got that after 2 weeks.

You will then get your eea1 passport within 3 months of your application.

However it takes nearly 5 months to get eea2 back.

Dont worry if the application is genuine you will get it before 6 months.

Good luck

13th July and you're still waiting for the certificate of application....
Isn't the certificate what you can use to show that you are eligible to work in the UK?
I hope mine doesnt take that long as i really need it to find myself a job.

hi every 1 any updates friendsssssssssssssssssssss

Hi guys,

Just a quick update:

I received my COA on the 11th October and since then, i have not heard anything.
I keep checking the Royal Mail track and trace website just to see if they have sent anything back to me as that's the only way i can track if anything is happening.

I received another letter with the COA that states that i should not contact them regarding the application as it will slow down the process.

In Australia when your application is sent off, you can actually track it online and see what is happening with the application.

The wait is killing me!!!

by **ind_dude** » Sat Oct 29, 2011 10:55 pm

6 months is the maximum. if you get no reply with 6 mths, then there's a reason for concern otherwise please wait for your card... Been thru this, done it all!

I want to find out the new processing time for EEA2 application I applied under the new immigration law ( careres of British citizens)
My son is British and I've sent an application to the home office for Idefinite leave to remain. It was refused at first and we were told that my son who is British could cope in my home country. We sent a letter of reconsideration and they replied to another solicitor. But now I applied under the new Zambrano case (eu) law.
Can someone tell me please how long this would take.
Thanks
