Thank you for the reply, do you know if this will affect the 5 years i have already spent in the UK will it void the 5 years and i have start again?jotter wrote:Hi leinad523,
Yes and yes. If you have your passport back you will be able to travel with it and you will be let back in at the UK border. You should make sure, though, to carry your certificate of application on you as well, which will make it straightforward to prove that you have an application that is awaiting decision by the UKBA.
Hi Leinad,leinad523 wrote:HI all
I am of South African nationality and have lived in the uk for more than 5 years on a residency permit as a non EU family member.
In September i sent my passport to the UKBA applying for a permanent residence with a eea4 application i have received a certificate of application but due to the long processing times i have not received the permanent residence also my current residency document expired in October while the passport was at UKBA.
My problem is that i have plane tickets to visit my family in December, if i request my passport back early 1. will i be able to travel with it ? 2. Will i be let back into the uk by immigration upon my return ?
I would greatly appreciate any help on the matter
