After how long Home office return (retained) passport after receiving BRP.

Post by Goher1993 » Mon Oct 28, 2019 5:27 pm

Hi,
My leave to remain application was successful and i have been granted leave to remain for 2.5 years. Received my BRP last week. Just wondering when i will receive my passport which they retained last year when i was at the home office for marriage interview. And will they return it to my solicitor or at the same address which they sent BRP?

No one can tell this because it should have been sent back to you upon decision unless they are investigating any forgery in relation of submitted documents under Section 17 of the Asylum & Immigration (Treatment of Claimants etc) Act 2004.

If they are carrying out an investigation such as you referred to, would they have granted the application?

doesn't matter whether the visa is granted as some documents can still be retainined.
Section 17 of the Asylum & Immigration (Treatment of Claimants etc) Act 2004 gives
the power to retain documents, such as a passport, where the Secretary of State or
an immigration officer suspects a migrant is liable to removal and the retention of the
document may facilitate removal.
The 2004 Act does not allow for the indefinite retention of documents. Where a
person is later granted leave, in whatever capacity, the document must be returned
to the holder unless it is a forgery, in which case it must be sent to the National
Document Fraud Unit (NDFU) at Status Park
.
Where a valid passport is retained and removal could take place on that passport it
