If like us you are fed-up by the time to process EEA4 applications (our application has been at the home office for almost 4 months now), you may want to take action and sign the petition created on this subject on the ePetition website of 10 Downing Street:

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/EEA4-Residency/

This petition asks the Prime Minister to take adequate measures to reduce the timeframe to process applications for residency for spouse of EU/EEA citizen from 6 months to 6 weeks.

Thanks for supporting this petition.

Regards. Eric

 

7 month gone. Sent reminder this week with regards to breach of EU regulation 2004/58/EC. I also passed the matter to my local Member of Parliament.

I will let you know if I can get any success.

Cheers. Eric

 

I wrote to my local MP on Sunday and received a letter today telling me that he had referred the matter to the Chief Executive of the Immigration and Border Agency.

Here is how you can find your local MP:

I will update this board as there is any new developments. Good luck everybody and thanks to all of you who have joined the petition.

Cheers. Eric
