Hi Aanwarj,anwarj wrote:Humanist
I obtained a new job with an investment bank while my passport was with the home office. I went through the most stringent background checking I've ever encountered for any job.
Despite that, there was no problems with the lack of passport. I provided the UKBA employer helpline number and my case reference to the agent who secured me the job, he passed it on to the 3rd party who did my referencing along with a >photocopy< of my current and previous passports.
It shouldnt prevent you from getting the job.
Well done Anwarj!!! Congratulations!!!anwarj wrote:Hallelujah, EEA4 PR certificate arrived this morning with passports. Time to schedule some vacation (finally!!)

Thanks for all the support from this board over the last few months. Its a great source of informationand support, so thank you all and hoping the best for your applications and hopefully you will all hear soon.
Also, thank you to UKBA for processing it in a "speedy" 6 months (Just in case there are any UKBA/HO lurkers on here)
