Hi emmyfem20, your Passport could have been held back by the Home Office for 3 main reasons. 1. Your Passport might have expired after you sent your EEA2 Application to the UKBA. 2. Your Passport might not be valid. 3. You might be an Overstayer. The Home Office always retain the Passports of Overstayers who apply under EEA Rules. You have nothing to worry about though. You are the Family Member of an EEA National who is exercising Treaty Rights, so you won't be picked up the UKBA. When you application comes out successfully, your Passport will be returned to you if it has not expired. You Residence could also be issued on a A4 Paper if your Passport has expired. I wish you all the Best.
