Thanks, it seems that way... this process isn't for introverts, I'm running out of British people I can ask!

For those wondering, HMPO simply will not reconsider a referee. I've called and emailed, they have no explanation but say the decision is final.

Reaching my wits end with HMPO. They have now rejected two different people who confirmed my child's identity. We have a total of 4 applications: Person A (a minister) confirmed all 4 applications. Of those, 1 was approved, 2 were rejected (both children) and 1 is still in process. Person B (a teach...

I just got a notification saying my application got approved; maybe something is wrong with the first reference not sure what. Anyway thank you My children are in the same situation. Can I ask, did you end up getting a different person to confirm your identity? Or they just approved the application...

I called to and asked but they said I cannot be under both European and immigration rules. That seems to contradict what I have heard in the forum here.

I believe that's incorrect advice, and it's worth complaining to the Home Office about it.

Update: I spoke with Border Force at Heathrow. They said it shouldn't be a problem because I have leave as an EEA family member, but it would be best for me to return to the airport to have the stamp corrected. There's a red immigration phone somewhere on the arrivals level. I do plan to complain af...

No, she didn't ask any questions other than why I didn't have a landing card. This was Heathrow Terminal 5 by the way. Thanks, I'll try to get in touch with them.

I'm an EEA residence card holder. I re-entered the UK tonight with my EU spouse, and didn't notice until I got home that the border agent stamped my passport with "leave to enter for 6 months, employment prohibited". She had asked for my landing card, which I thought was odd. I pointed out...

I was able to re-enter the UK using my tier 2 BRP. No concerns/questions about my outstanding RC application.

Sure, I'll let you know how it goes. I believe you're allowed to hold both statuses (EEA RC and UK visa), don't see any reason they'd curtail the tier 4 visa as part of the EEA approval.

I didn't end up needing to travel right away, but I have a trip next week so we'll see. Don't anticipate any problems, my BRP continues to be valid. Even if my EEA-FM application was denied I could continue living in the UK until my Tier 2 expires. I suppose when I re-enter the border agent will see...

Good news! I enquired and they sent back my BRP as well as my wife's Italian ID card. I guess I was too fast in requesting my docs initially.

Do you think I should inform them, or submit another request to return my BRP? Maybe I should have waited longer to request my docs too. I just did my biometrics last week and don't have a COA yet, but I needed my docs back in case I need to travel on short notice.

Monday morning bump?

Hi, I'm a US citizen currently on Tier 2 ICT. I have a residence card application in process on the basis of my spouse who's an Italian citizen. I asked the Home Office to send back my US passport, my Tier 2 BRP (valid for 1 more year) and my wife's Italian ID but they only returned my passport, not...

My Tier 2 BPR was valid beyond 6 months so they returned without any problem. At the moment my Tier 2 is still valid and I also have my EEA RC.

Wow, amazing! That goes against advice I got from a solicitor at a major immigration firm. Go figure...

Will they send the BRP back? I was under the impression that they would retain the BRP as it would no longer be valid after successful application for a residence card. Just sent my tier 2 BRP in with my EEA-FM, will see what documents I get back.
