Yes, you cannot travel without passport, but you can ask for your passports to be sent back. And under European law, this does not affect the application.Shane2008 wrote:How long should it take to process? When will we get our passports back? Because I am assuming we cannot travel without our passports.
The ID card is sufficient proof of identity, and it is also sufficient to travel within Europe. British people may be a bit skeptical, because they do not have ID cards. But the European ID card is a box on the tick list, so it should be fine. Personally I would have kept the passport and sent the ID card, but there is not much difference either way.She does have a French ID card from the French Embassy declaring she is French, ... Will employers accept this?
Then just tell them you want to travel, for example for a family celebration. They are just being lazy.Shane2008 wrote:When I phoned the home office, they said that it needed to be a very good reason to be able to get the passports back before the decision being decided.
They also said that needing it to be able to work is not enough. How can this be? Why would they restrict someone from working?
Thanks for some great advice!!!Pasha wrote:It actually says on the BIA website that you will be able recall your passport for ID or travel purposes. I would phone back and request it again.
