Hi All
I have been dealing with visas and passports for 14 years in this country and by now I dread to deal with home office. I especially hate how they keep passports as hostages while they leisurely process applications over 6 , 9 or even couple of years in some cases. I think it should be illegal and against human rights to deny someone travelling because they couldn't sort out their processes in time.
Some times I wish I should start a petition on change.org to stop homeoffice from holding on to our passports for so long.
Now I am soon eligible to apply for PR based on being married to a EEA citizen for 5 years. I don't want to give away my passport for 6 months as I have to travel both for work reasons and family reasons. IS there any way to I can keep my passport while they process my application ?
When sending my application , I was thinking about not sending my passport and writing a letter to them that they can request my passport when they actually start to process my application . I don't care if they take 6 months or a year this way . Do you think they will honor my application without my passport or would they reject it straight away even before taking the fees?
Any other brilliant ideas to hold on to passport ? FYI I have Indian passport and don't have other ID cards allowing me to travel.
Send me your views and comments . Thanks for reading
