Hi all,
We have received our passports back! Finally! We can now travel on the 20th July as hoped. Still awaiting PR though...
Timeline is:
Application for PR (non-EEA applicant) sent: 23.01.16
Received by HO: 26.01.16
Biometrics letter received: 12.02.16
Biometrics given: 13.02.16
COA letter with right to work received: 02.03.16
Passports requested back: 25.06.16
'Documents not received' form submitted: 08.07.16, 09.07.16, 11.07.16, 12.07.16, 13.07.16 (basically one a day - not sure whether to any avail but thought it was worth a try - we were getting desperate!)
Called HO phoneline twice over last two weeks - very unhelpful but an email provided to us second time we called:
liverpooleuro.passportreturns@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
Email sent to
liverpooleuro.passportreturns@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk and
liverpooleuro.passportreturns@ukba.gsi.gov.uk AND
complaints@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk: 14.07.16
Passports arrived back: 15.07.16 (letter dated 13.07.16)
PR: ???
My question now is, we are travelling to Spain on 20.07.16, returning ten days later. Will we have trouble re-entering the UK? My (non-EEA national) RC in my passport expired on 05.07.16...
Thanks!
