Dear Asian 001,asian001 wrote:Hi I applied for the Post-Study Work Visa. When I phoned on Friday to ask about the status of my case. Home Office said that they already sent out my passport on July 10 by recorded delivery. I haven't received anything. I then called Royal Mail but they said that since it wasn't by special delivery, they were not able to track it. Home Office will not classify the passport as lost until after 4 weeks. Is Home Office responsible for the cost of replacing my passport and visa?
There is a tracking number and Home Office did give it to me. However, the person at Royal Mail explained that the tracking number for recorded delivery doesn't exactly track a package, it actually gets delivered like regular mail, but when it is delivered, someone has to sign for it, and when that happens, the website would update. She also said that there is no barcode on the package like it would with special delivery.
And how can I know the outcome of my visa application.

UKBA sends the passport with royalmail signed for system which requires signature in order to receive the post.In my case my relative did sign and received the post. Please answer the following questions.
1. Have you checked with the ukba about your home address/contact address which is in their system? If it is different from the one you provided it means your passport has gone to the wrong addressee.
2. Does anyone else live with you in the same house? Have you asked them? Is there any illegal people living with you in the same house?
3. There are plenty of illegal people who keen to buy passports and most of the time passports are sold to them in connivance with the royalmail employees. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that please file a police complain immediately.If ukba do not take the issue seriously, once police department sends a letter there they have to take the necessary action so that the problem may come to an end.
Yours sincerely,
Sadhu Agashe.
