hello bombom,Bombom the Frenchies wrote:Hi bertuzzist
I requested my passport return at the moment of application as well.
Even though I received the COA, UKBA didn't send me back my passport without request.
This is what I did..
First I sent e-mail which is only for requesting passport back as it was not within 10days of travel.
Nothing happened.
So I called UKBA for my passport return when it gets to 10days of travel.
Then UKBA returned my passport with next day delivery which I enclosed togather with my application.
I made sure that UKBA uses the enclosed envelop when I called up UKBA.
I made application in mid September, but I haven't asked to return my passport to UKBA yet.
So I don't think your application is in process yet.
Also I called them yesterday asking how long it will take for me to get RC.
UKBA answered now they are making decisions for applications made in June and July.
If I were you, I make phone call to UKBA requesting passport return as soon as possible.

thanks for your advice, it has been much appreciated.
I've just called UKBA and talked to an advisor requesting the passports back with the pre-paid special delivery envelope I've previously enclosed with the application.
How long did you wait after requesting your passports back? they told me it can take up to 10 days but I suppose if they are really going to use my pre-paid special delivery envelope then it'll be a lot quicker.

here is the history:
30.03.10 application sent
28.04.10 - COA received
18.06.10, 26.07.10, 4.08.10 - called HO - was told "still in a queue to be assigned to the caseworker"
17.08.10 - passport with RC back, issued on the 5 August for 5 years
total: 4 month and 18 days
good luck for all who are still waiting.
I've received my passport (and my husband's) back today. It took a while because they didn't use the special delivery envelope as per instructions...bertuzzist wrote:hello bombom,

Many many congrats I have also submitted my application in the same month actually few days before you. I did get my COA but now waiting for RC with passport. Hope I would get soon.

When you apply and post it out. You will get COA after one month approximately.Tommy14 wrote:Hello All:
How did everyone prove they could work while waiting for your RC ie: what documentation did you have to show to an employer indicating your legal right to work? Was there any complication? What about taxes, bank account, etc?
I have a job offer, and my wife who is from a WRS country does not, can I still apply straight for the EEA2 (this is what everyone else has said but I want to make sure)
Cheers and good luck to you all!
