I was kind of lost and helpless without my passport but one cannot change the fate so I had to accept the ruthless truth of life....... Any ways;

I didn’t go for withdrawal as UKBA were going to take around 20 days for that request so no point for me requesting withdrawal.

Sorry to hear about your loss but glad the MP acted accordingly. I'm sure your Father would have been very proud of you.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you get to be with your loved ones. As much as the immigration system is lacking, we have to appreciate how they deal with exceptional circumstances.
