Return of documentation and passport

[jmmo20]

Hi,

I applied (AN) online and sent the documents by courier (they arrived last Monday).
When should I expect the Home Office to return my passport (and other documents) ?

Looking at the timelines it does look like they are taking 6 weeks on average to make a decision but are passports returned only after a decision has been made?

thanks

Only returned once a decision is made, so yes HO hold onto them for however long they take.
