I really hope i'll get a chance with what I have ... sometimes i even chickened out and get scared :P
I submitted my EEA2 application last August 16 and they received my application on the 17th because I had it tracked.
My FP expired last Sep 14.
I called to the European enquiries to the one they said we can call for info. Then when I asked if they received my application because I am worried I haven't received any acknowledgment or certificate of application which they said would be sent once they received your application but since I haven’t heard from them for over a month I called because it says on my tracking number that it was received and there was a signature of someone who received my parcel so I called and when I called they said that I am still not in their system like my name is not in their system and that was more than a month since they are supposed to receive my application so the Support assistant from the phone gave me an address to send a letter address to European Caseworker to confirm or if they received my application and if they did to reply to me with a certificate of application or at least confirm in a letter or phone call if they got my documents.
So I sent a letter to that European caseworker address and have it tracked and since I sent one it was more than a week but still haven’t got any reply from them so I called to the European enquiries number again and they said that my name is now in the system and that the European Caseworker will be sending a certificate of application this month to all who applied the same month as mine. That they are going to send all at once. I finally receive a Certificate of Application last Saturday Oct 13. It says there that my application is still in process and that I cannot call anyone regarding the progress and that it could take up to 6 months from the date of application.
I was trying to register to a hospital and GP unfortunately my Cert of Application is not enough for me to be registered for NHS free charge. They told me to come back when I have my residence card so they can register me.
I was registered before when we were in Luton but since we moved to Bedford I don't have any records again and they require my passport with the Residence card.
I am trying to apply for a job online but am not sure if they will accept my cert of application only.
I wonder if Marks and Spencer here is looking for one I checked their site and ads on their branches but haven't seen one so far at least here in Bedford.....
I even asked my husband's agency and we photocopied my cert of application if they can accpet me with just it but we still didn't hear anything from them :(
