I was wondering what kind of conditions you have to meet in order to keep your RC? are the conditions specific or general?
Do I have to still be a member of my Sponsor's household and dependent on them financially?
Thanks a lot people, congrats to everyone who got theirs!
Any changes in that have to be submitted to the H.O
Hi Mileman
Congratz!!!
How many calendar days did it take since application.
You got it around 4 months. lucky one. Your app was very straight forward I think. Isnt it?
No mail for me this morning...gdevkota wrote:Any good news in this beautiful morning.
Hi G2ry48!G2ry48 wrote:hi. Irish and Malaysian. Married. No money withdrawn since we applied in 28 Oct 2014 until now. I wonder why? usually HO take the money straight away.
Fernando, you should have received two numbers.fernandopeleias wrote:Hi again,
As I mentioned earlier we are a feb. applicants. Still waiting...(Urrrgh).
We called the HO on wednesday and they took our info and said they would be calling back in 72h. I believe we should hear from them today.
Just a question about this tracking number. We bought 2 envelopes (next day delivery or something like that), but we received just 1 tracking number (for the envelope originally sent on february). I just wanted to confirm if that is correct or we should have received 2 tracking numbers instead. The waiting is really horrible because we live at the university accommodation and they have failed to noticed me when packages arrived a couple of times before. And since this tracking number is not working, we dont really know if they are still processing it, if royal mail lost the package, if it is lost in the housekeeper office.,,,,Horrible..
Thanks!
If they gave you two receipts, the second tracking number is on the front of the second receipt.gdevkota wrote:i have da same prob. i pay da same amount of money for each envelop to go n back. but post office never give me tha tracking num to da empty 1. they give me only for da envelop to go.. dont understand why?
We didnt request the passaport back, but the woman from post office just gave us 1 tracking number. Thats really annoying cause we purchased probably the most expensive service, to be quicker.... And its almost 17 and no one called us back (10 minutes to end the 72h deadline...)Fernando, you should have received two numbers.
One from your home to the H.O, which should look delivered back in february.
One from the H.O to your home, which is the one they should use to send your documents back.
Did you request your passports? Maybe the used the empty envelope you sent to get them back to you, but even if this was the case, the tracking number should be working

We recently applied for a RC and wanted to share our timeline here, although there's not much progress yet...
We are an unmarried couple, been together for 3 years and have been living together for 2.
My partner is the non-eea, and I am the eea national.
Application received:13/07
Payment taken:14/07
Biometrics letter received & biometrics enrolled: 23/07
Requested passports & partner's BRP back: 24/07
Passports & BRP arrived: 30/07
Now we're waiting for the COA.
I read the last few posts just now, and we have also sent the electronic payslips without a stamp,signature or a note!!
Will call HO and see what they say.
Good luck everyone.
Hi aurora77, I think we have very similar timeline as well. You can call them and stating that it is after 21 days and you deserve an accurate reply.aurora77 wrote:We have almost the same timeline but I'm still waiting for my COA..sweet snowhite wrote:Sent 10th July

That is quick! But I think alex1128 is also making sense. My understanding is that the EU law is in some cases above the national law of the member state, thus your RC is somehow a higher format of residence permit. And this puts the previous visa for non-EEA visa nationals invalid. But I guess this is a way too complicated topic anyway.raume wrote:alex1128 wrote:Sorry what do you mean you requested your partners brp back ?

Hi Alex,
We did not use a solicitor, made the application ourselves, but I haven't seen that piece of info anywhere...
However we have had 1 meeting with a solicitor, and when we asked about travelling during the 6 months period, I remember him clearly stating that if my partner had a valid visa, he could travel anywhere as he wishes. Which made sense to me but apparently solicitors have different opinions on this?
Maybe someone who has applied while in possession of a valid BRP/visa can enlighten us on this?
I also wanted to update my timeline here, as we just received the COA today, WITH right to work, which is amazing! We haven't been expecting this as we applied as unmarried partners, but I believe that must also be due to him having a valid BRP until mid 2016 which gives him the right to work...
