Hi matinuk2

Sorry I wasn't trying to put you off. Just thought it might be of interest to you.

I applied by Check & Send on 30 April. Got a letter and my supporting documents back a week ago. Had my interview Tuesday morning and received my passport today. So from start to finish it took 20 days.

Hope this helps.

Hello there Just wanted to share my experience when I was in a similar situation. I went away on a short trip (4 days) 1 month before my 5 year residence card expired.

Hi nagshead Yes, all they took were our passports + marriage certificate and the Life in the UK certificate.

Hi Minnie77 (Mandy) I used my date of marriage + 5 years. My husband and I had been in the UK for some time before we got married. Not sure about if you got married before you moved to the UK. I'm guessing the date you get here + 5 years would be the one to use if the EEA spouse started exercising ...

On a different post, another member was ...
