travel document

Post by Aladin0987 » Sun Oct 07, 2012 5:55 pm

So is it possible to obtain a HOME OFFICE TRAVEL DOCUMENT with an EEA family member PERMANENT RESIDENCE CARD? cause I have already applied for it with my LIMITED EEA RESIDENCE CARD but they refused my application and I lost £240.
I DO NOT HAVE MY OWN COUNTRIES NATIONAL PASSPORT AND I CAN NOT GET IT EVER DUE TO A POLITICAL ISSUES :lol:
Thanks

Thanks mate, anyway I never trust HO, so I can't rely on what she said, I'll wait and see. My lawyer said I should wait for HO to ask me to send documents then I should send, she says normally after 2 weeks you will get a letter from court about the out come from court.
I'm not sure to wait or just send my document to HO, I was given the address to send to by the HO REP.

Additionally to seeing your MP
- send the letter as they suggested
- email them on the passport returns mail address (listed elsewhere in this thread)
- open a case with Solvit
- keep at them by calling regularly (who knows, you may get someone more helpful on the line)

So when you ring them,,what is their response? what they hold it or take too long?
Do they want some more information? do they ask you for something else?
You should really make a phone calls and complains everyday bro.
Good luck.
