Hi Pattysmith, I just saw your reply on the timeline thread. Yes, it is possible to request the passports back if you apply using the EEA(EFM) form as an Unmarried Partner. We requested them back right after enrolling the biometrics and receiving the CoA. However, there is a bullet point while compl...

We were living together since 2015 (2 years) and this summer he had to return to his country for mandatory conscription. I am aware of the financial...

Hi, I am in a similar situation to you and was wondering the same. It would make sense that you would have the right to be here while your application was being considered because as you say, the timescales wouldn't work otherwise.
