fabioflashuk wrote:Hi Guys,
Is there any of you guy on the same situation as me ?
I'm on the Tier2 Sponsor visa valid for 3 years in which will expire in 2 days, so I've sent many letters to them to try to speed up the process, the first reason why I need to get my RC is that me and my wife we are buying a house and everything has been agreed and done however, the bank still waiting to see my RC in order to release our mortgage. So I sent 3 letters to them telling this and how urgent we need as we are in a risk of loosing the deal and the money invested with solicitors and valuations.
So to make it more dramatic, I 've sent another letter last week reapeating the story of the Mortgage in which is true and as I realize that my visa will expire in 2 days I've also mentioned that I'm in a risk of losing my job and my boss will not renew my contract if he doen't see the new visa.
From you guys experience do you think that this is enough of a reason to be treated as priority ?
Here is my timeline,
Application received by HO: 22/08/2012
COA Received on : 15/10/2012
RC ?
Thanks

13/11/2012 (1 call, was told EEA application passport return now takes 10 days rather than 5, was told to just wait)
RC: hoping it arrives within 2-4 months
I believe that there has been pressure exerted on the UKBA to issue the COAs as soon as possible after receipt of EEA2 applications. I also believe this is driven by the 6 month maximum duration for these applications as prescrib
ed by the EU directives.
I called and spoke to a supervisor today who informed me that the staff who looked up the system and told me that my passport return request was logged in the system etc had broken protocol and would face disciplinary action!ghirleeh_lim wrote:lee333 wrote:My timeline

She told me that there is no point calling as there is nothing they can do and that passport return requests must be followed-up online these days.
So today I sent my third request by email for the return of passports.
I have a business trip with flights booked for Sunday...

You probably received an automated response to the email you sent 02/11/2012 which stated that passport return should be within 5 days?
Interestingly for the second request I sent 12/11/2012 I noticed that they have changed the automated response to now read "wthin 10 days".
So you are still some chance for Saturday.
Good luck.
An RC is still valid on an expired passport right?ghirleeh_lim wrote:lee333 wrote:Hi ghirleeh_lim,ghirleeh_lim wrote:lee333 wrote:My timeline

Yes, it was 10 working days in my email. Though my last chance is on Friday. Actually I have residence card but then my passport is expiring so decided to transfer my visa to new passport. If only I knew this will happen I should have not transferred my visa to new one. Anyway thanks
Yeah it is valid cos I had my RC last year only. Then I had it transfer my Rc to new passport last July 2012 and got COA last October. Since then I haven't heard anything.craxy1102 wrote:An RC is still valid on an expired passport right?ghirleeh_lim wrote:lee333 wrote:Hi ghirleeh_lim,ghirleeh_lim wrote:

Or do you guys know of anyone receiving an email similar to the one i received?
I first sent my request to both emails on the 1st of Nov (got no reply) and then on the 4th of Nov (got no reply) and then on the 14th of Nov and got a reply saying;
