Hi,

This is my timeline: EEA (Permanent Residence)

Application posted on : 22th April 2016
Received by HO on : 23th April 2016
Payment taken on : 27th April 2016
Bio letter received on : 2nd June 2016
Biometrics Enrolled on : 4th June 2016
COA With Work :14th June 2016

Documents received on 26 October 2016, but no letter saying whether my application was successful or not.
Has anyone receive documents only without any letter from HO? I also read on this forum that RC should arrive within 10 days after documents returned. Is that correct?
I am worrying now.....

To all members who contribute to this topic/thread, the following are the guidance to adhere to so that we do not end up with a timeline thread that runs into so many pages like the other one did and which has become a discussion thread, rather than an easily readable timeline thread, defeating the purpose of a TIMELINE thread:

1. This topic is for timelines and timeline updates ONLY.

2. ANY discussions, chit chat, question such as 'Any news for applications in XYZ Month / 6 months, no reply ...' ect, will be deleted and the user issued with a warning.

3. Most members who contribute to this thread will already have other recent queries or threads on the forum, i.e. 'Family Permit - Help Please' etc. If you need to ask a member something specific about their application, click on their name, search for their most recent NON timeline post and ask the question there. You are of course free to use the PM function for this too if you choose and if you have access to PM.

4. There will be zero tolerance of any abuse of the timeline thread.

5. No posting of personal contact details, please see Forum Terms & Conditions (click), particularly point 5.

Me (EEA member from NL) and my wife (Bosnia & Herzegovina) applied via an immigration consultancy in London.

Applied: 14th of MAY
COA with work: 20th of JULY
Biometrics letter: 30th of JULY
Biometrics enrolled: 1st of AUGUST
Documents returned: ??
Residence card: ??

Next week will be 6 months.
Find it strange to see that many received biometrics letter around 6 weeks after application. For us it was more like 10 weeks.

We've send about 4 letters asking for an update. Complaining about the duration. Never received any answer.
