    The bad news is that the Home Office seems to take pretty much the allowed 6 months to process a residence card application. But you should have received a "certificate of application" about 3 weeks after you applied. This entitles you to work for a period of 6 month.

    You should remember that the residence card is not a prerequisite for your rights, it merely confirms that you have the rights granted by the EU. That means you can use your rights even without the card, although it can be quite difficult sometimes.
