Residence Card (RC) Application Withdrawing

[brunoc]

Dear Community,

I applied for a Residence Card in November as an extended-family member of an EEA citizen.
However, due to personal reasons, I am withdrawing my application and asking for all my documents back.

The "Online Withdrawing Form" says it takes usually up to 10 working days to return documents.

Has anyone been through this process?
Home Office usually returns documents on time?
Can you tell me if it is safe to buy return flight tickets before having the passport returned?

Thank you for the help!

There is no 100% guarantee as it depends on many factors - how quickly Home Office will send the passport and supporting documents back, postal services speed etc, therefore there is no point to risk it buying tickets before you receive your passport back.
