When I completed my application, my partner also completed an application for her Registration Certificate which we both posted same time and in the same envelope. Her passport was sent back together with mine and her Registration Certificate was also included which means her application was successful :o .

Since then I haven't heard anything from them and this puts me in a very worrying and stressful state as I do not know why they have returned my passport and all documents and/or when they are going to give me an update regarding my application :( :( :(.

Non EU citizen (Canadian) with unmarried EEA partner (Dutch), living together for 9 months. Partner applied for QP as a student in same application. Currently I am on a Tier 5 Visa, expiring 01/11/2020.

Posted application: 06/05/2020

I have not seen many others who have submitted applications during the lockdown, so I have no idea the wait times, but I will try to update the community with mine.

I have not yet received a letter inviting me to do biometrics, which I find strange as it has been over a month since they received my application. Perhaps this is connected to the UKVCAS centres being closed/phased opening in June.

Hi There,

We are nervously awaiting the outcome of the EEA(EFM) unmarried partner. We are applying at the same time as his EEA(QP) certificate.

I am Australian, and my partner is Dutch. We have been together 3 years, living together 2.5.

Application completed online: 14 March
Received by UKVI: As above
Biometrics: Originally booked 17 March, moved to 18 July after COVID shutdown
COA: :?:
BRC received: :?:

The delays are painful as we were hoping we would have heard back around now. The communication since the UKCVAS closed has been pretty closed and unclear, we've just been tentatively waiting for the COA (although only a few days)... with the hope that the delay in getting biometrics in doesn't delay the whole process by another 3 months on top again. I will update when we get them back as I know how helpful that information would be for others.

Added:
COA (Long) Arrived 23 June.
Strangely, it mentioned that I did not attach the original documentation for the following:
- ID Documentation for both me and sponsor (which I did take to UKVCAS)
- Evidence of relationship (as above, plus all uploaded into portal?)
- Sufficient evidence of sponsor right to treaty rights (as above)

Feeling pretty concerned about this now.
