I'm polish and I've been here for over 11 years. I've applied for permanent residency end of May under EEA regulations. I meant travel to US last Monday (15th August) but my document still hasn't arrived. Also I can't get a refund for the trip and still want to pay for new ticket and go..that's if I get my passport this week but I'm losing hope

4th request (call center): 11th August 2016
12th August 2016; phone call received from 'No Caller ID'. I was told that nothing has been done but he will contact the department and see what he can do. Meant to call me back with an update but he didn't. Also on that day went Croydon but I was told that they can only help with premium services because postal applications are being held in Liverpool or Sheffield.
5th request (call center again): 15th August 2016
Called them yesterday (16th August 2016) but I was told that I have to wait 5 working days to make a new referral.
I've emailed (and faxed) complains department provided on their website but it takes 20 working days for them to reply. I've emailed yesterday my local MP but her office is closed until 5th September so I'm assuming she's on holiday. Called Parliament to see if any other MP can help but I was told that i have to wait for the local one.
I total I've been begging home office for my passport for nearly 8 weeks now. I still want to go out there if I get it so please let me know if there is anything else I can do!
