Hi,
I have applied for EEA extended Family Member permit in march, and 2 weeks ago in May 2017 I requested Home office to return my documents back and withdraw the application. they asked me if they are going to do decision on my application in next 10 working days, can I wait? I said Yes, i can wait. Today is 8 th working day and I received the letter for bio-metrics.

Get a faster reply to your visa application
You may be able to get a decision on your visa within 5 working days if you’ve sent your application by post and the payment has cleared.

If you’re applying for limited leave to remain (using Tier 4 or FLR forms for example) then you won’t be able to get a faster reply using this service.
You can also use this service to apply for a biometric residence permit (BRP) if you’re settled in the UK with no time limit.

Who can apply
You can only use this service if you made your application from within the UK and used one of the following forms:

SET (AF)
SET (F)
SET (LR)
SET (M)
SET (O) - apart from exceptions
SET(O) exceptions
If you use the SET(O) form you won’t get a faster reply if you’re:

a Tier 1 (Investor)
a Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur)
a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur)
a self-employed lawyer
a seaman
a Gurkha
a Turkish business person
an elderly dependant
someone whose case isn’t covered by immigration rules
If you’re applying for discretionary leave to remain or humanitarian protection you can only apply through the SET(O) form if you’re:

under the transitional arrangements to extend your discretionary leave after 3 years
applying to settle in the UK after 6 years discretionary leave
Fees
You must pay £490 per person, in addition to the application fee you’ve already paid.

How to apply
Download and fill in the request and payment forms.

Send them to the email address on the request form.

What happens next
Only the first 5 requests received each day between 8am and midday (Mondays to Thursdays only) are accepted.

You’ll get an email by 5pm the same day if you’ve been accepted.

If you’re accepted for the faster service
You must give your fingerprints and photo (biometric information) if you haven’t already done this.

You’ll be told if your application will take longer than 5 working days. This could happen if:

extra checks are needed
you need to go to a premium service centre in person - you’ll have to pay a £100 booking fee
Getting your documents back
Your documents and BRP will be sent to you separately within 7 to 10 days. You’ll need to sign for them.

there is no fast track or same day service for extended FM applications. What you have applied for is not on the list of categories that can use the service from HO website.

How will you re-enter the UK with no permit or visa?

You have a weak application, based on your previous topic below. Likely your application will fail quicker if you leave the UK.
