Passport Request by UKBA: 2nd April - The letter says like this " in order for this department to recosider your application, please forward us your original passport" and the below is case worker name and address - who initially refused the application.
Passport sent: 05th April
Now eagerly waiting, again I'm well confused and nerves kicking in. The only this which is bothering me is if UKBA did decide to reconsider my application they could have issued the residence card of A4 sheet? why asking for passport again if they've seen it already? - does UKBA wants to retain the passport?
I know no one can definitely answer but I've never seen this scenario before? unless someone can please help me where UKBA requested the passport again either to refuse or to issue the residence card?
anybody happen to know??

I'm ever so grateful to this forum that it cannot express..... You all are doing the great job. And many thanks for this awesome forum.
I'm married to an eu national since 2011, I've got a beautiful baby boy and my wife is exercising her treaty rights by working full time.
My mum and dad came over on a tourist visa. Dad retired and mum has always been dependent on my dad. So we decided to apply for EEA2 as they don't have family back in India and all our relatives and friends are in Canada.
