I just spoke with my partner regarding his chat with the HO last week thought I'd update you.

Apparently this was the case:

On the biometrics letter, there was a sentence along the lines of 'if you travel abroad, you need to apply for a family permit to enter the UK'. So he asked spesifically about why this was written on the letter, as he has a valid BRP. They said that this is just a generic format they use, and he is ok to travel with his BRP.

All this complicity comes from the fact that it takes several months to issue the RC......

Now I understand your problem, as stated in your post and understood by many people here, he should, in principle, have no problem enter the UK border. The only potential problem is the airline, I would, personally not worry so much about it. They are, in my opinion, supposed to report to UK border and the Home Office anyway.

Well, that's where the BRP will help I think:) What do they have to report if the passenger shows a visa with the expiry date of 2016? We also think the HO wouldn't just send it back to us if it was cancelled. Anyway, we'll see soon if it's valid or not (hopefully not the hard way!)

Applied ourselves, I am Australian and my wife is Hungarian, our timelines are:-
EEA (FM) Submitted: 29/06/2015
Royal Mail Acknowledgement of delivery: 30/06/2015
Money taken out of account on: 02/07/2015
Biometrics letter dated 02/07/2015: (Received 06/07/2015)
Biometrics submitted at post office: 08/07/2015
Request for Passport Return: 13/07/2015 (Note, well and truly over the 10 working days!)
Passport Returned: PENDING
COA: PENDING

I have called them almost everyday now and I get the same dumb message 'It should have been issued within 15 working days' so angry and frustrated with the system at the moment!

adnan12345 · Post by **adnan12345** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 8:22 pm

well personally i dont think asking your passport back is bad nothing wrong it! as many people n here did it before you and got it! prime example is raume from july applicants! but i personally think you should have waited for COA and the you could have asked for your passport! but now you have spilt the beans again i am assuring you nothing wrong in asking for your or you partner passport back but you know how things are these days so its better to be careful! but according to opinion i would suggest dont give up and keep calling then again and again! and lets see its now other july applicants responsibility to reply as well as we all have to watch out for each other! but how did u applied? through a solicitor or urself?

Thanks, we applied ourselves, we lived in the UK previously (I was transferred with work) and we have a history here already.

We even sent the paper work to show we had a history of living here!

I asked for my passport back, because frankly, the department does not fill me with confidence.

As a Australian Citizen, I can enter the UK without a visa and I can stay for up to 6 months (without the right to work) as this is a reciprocal agreement between Australia and the UK. So I do not see how requesting my passport back is an issue!

count me in for July.

Biometrics Enrolled: 18/7/15
COA: Pending...

I'm worried they might have sent it to my old address as we have recently moved but I updated my current address at change of circumstance online.. I'm just tired of calling them all the time as it's draining most of my optimism.

It true that I also lack trust in those people after they mishandled my first application.. I know what you mean UKBA...Arrg.

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.
Sorry what do you mean you requested your partners brp back ? Our lawyers told us that the old visa is automatically cancelled when you apply for eea2

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...

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
COA with right to work received: 10/08 (dated 06/08)

Hello raume,
Thx for your answer, i hope everything hoes well for your partner's holiday !!
But tell me is there an option to request the brp while requesting the passports online?
And if you dont mind sharing the nationality if your partner and the return date so that we know what happened when he is back !

Hi Alex, thanks for the good wishes. He'll be back early September, I'll let you know how it went. He's from Turkey and that's where he's going.

And yes it's possible to request it online. As far as I can remember, the form gives you a small list of documents to chose from, and for anything else that is not on the list such as the BRP, there's an 'other documents' option, or something similar. You can type in any doc you want under that option. Just have a look at the form and you'll figure it out straight away, it's pretty easy.

Good luck!
