Hi

We are in a similar situation, my wife has updated here passport with her married name and we are currently outside the UK, has anyone put this to the test?
She will be traveling back with her old passport so I am not overly concerned about this, but know how picky the border agent can be.

Hi All My wife's PR card arrived yesterday :D , 5 months (about 150 days), which seems in line with other forum members. I thought it would take longer as I have being self employed as a sole trader and as a LTD for the last 3 years and had quite a few employers prior to that, making the amount of d...

Hi Casa That is interesting, goes to show how inconsistent the rules are applied, in the last 5 years of entering with a RC. (roughly 35 trips) she has never once being asked to fill in a landing card. Hi Sid costas Only EU nationals and those from Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland are ...

Update to my timeline: I applied for my PR which included my wife eea national who is the main applicant and include as a family member on the same application form on 12/10/15. HO received it the second day the 13/10. Money Taken on the 15th/10 My wife received email from HO on the 21.10.15 saying...

Hi Sid costas We are still waiting for my wifes PR so no experience with that, but with the RC she has being told to use the Non-EU queue when I am no accompanying here, though I think she still uses the EU queue without trouble. But this is the usual inconsistent behaviour you get from UKBA, clearl...

Hi Mr Green You don't need to include a prepaid envelope for either, UKBA will return everything by second class post, but both times I have requested my passport back I have included a prepaid signed for delivery,for added security and speed. Kind regards Hugh HI all. do I need to include a pre pai...

Hi I requested passports back so we could travel to see family. all well and good, the passports were returned by SAE after 8 working days, but I have received a letter with them telling me "Family members of a an EEA national...wishing to return to the UK should apply for a EEA family permit a...

What is the correct way to request your passport back? Can you just mention it in the covering letter or is there a specific procedure? Go to the online form for returning documents, takes about 10 days. I've been wondering about the passport return also. I submitted the online application for mine...

Hi Everyone I'm sorting out the last bits for my wife's EEA(PR) and am a bit confused about a few final points, especially after reading a few comments on-line. it has being quite complicated because of my employment history... Employed, self employed sole trader and ltd company. 1. I read somewhere...

My wife recieved the RC on a photocopied A4 paper as well, if I had not opened the envolope from the UKBA I would question it the document is real! my guess is the because of budget cuts the UKBA ran out of the non-eu national cards and resorted to the photocopy. I got mine as a eu national on a blu...

I am going through the forme...

Hi something that you might want to take into account if you have the money is the time it takes to process the EEA route. At least the way we did it we applied for a Family Permit in Japan, issued after 10 days and now are applying for the residency card in the UK which will take 6 month by the loo...

Yea it has to be your passport.
but if you need it back give them a call and request it back, give yourself a good 15-20 working days for them to send it, not the 10 they say on the website, and if it has not being returned give them a call every day until they tell you that have sent it.
