No Time Limit (NTL) & Biometric Query

Post by Cath5613 » Mon Jan 15, 2018 5:33 pm

Hi, wonder if anyone can help. My partner (Australian) has recently applied for NTL & Biometric; he has Indefinite Leave to Remain already. He recently got notification that The Home Office had received his application and would process within a period of 6 months.
I have a few questions that I am struggling to find answers for: (1) Does the Home Office hold onto passports for the duration of the application? (2) If you request for passports to be returned does that nullify your application?
It seems crazy that they would hold onto passports for this length of time. I would happily email The Home Office but cannot find an email address.

Any guidance/ experience is very greatly received.
Catherine
