Yes, they do take 6 months at the moment, and sometimes even longer. If you intend to travel, you should just include a copy of your passport, and state on a cover letter that you will send the original when requested.

The remaining problem is getting back into the UK. If you are non-visa national, you should be ok. If you travel with your spouse and can prove that you are married, you should again be fine. In other cases it may be rather difficult.

We applied end of february and we are still waiting. If you want to travell, ask for your passport back, you need to call, than they will give you a fax number and you also need to send a fax. Make sure you ask for your passports in time, takes a least 10 working days. If you can travell, it depends on your actuall visa. My husband has a family permit, he got a Schengen Visa till 1 month before his Family permit expires, after that, we have to wait for the resicendy card.
