Hi all,

I applied for a resident card on 12 August 2008, and recieved my confirmation letter from HO after 6 weeks. Its been little over 2 months i have applied for resident card, and i know i takes 6 months to get it.

I am an Indian national and my father is Dutch national. I need to travel to USA becaues of a family emergency. US embasy requires proof of residency in UK to issue USA visa. I have been told that if i request my passport back from HO they will with draw my application and wont issue me a resident card.
Is there any way i can get my passport back with the resident permit before 6 months. I really need to travel asap.

what should i do? any suggest

thank you

no is not true .
if you want travel just phone them and request you passport for emmergency raison , it will take 10 working for you to received you passport.when a case worker will want to work on you application he will write to send back a passport.

You application will be considered on the basic of all evidences you provided.
A fact that you have asking you passport will not affected a decision of you application maybe a delay

does home office ask for proof of employment again, after they recieve the application. i applied for residence card in august as a dependnet of eea national "my father" i sent my fathers payslips with the application. my father wants to leave his job, and i was little worried about that if home office will ask for proof of employment or payslips before they get done with my application. plz let me know if anybody has exprienced this.

,What is you current status in uk?
if you have not status at the time you made you application ,home office will take at least 1 years to make a decision or more .
But if you have a status, that will take 8 to 9 months to get a decision.


Yes when a home office will be ready to make a decision on you case a caseworker will asking for a 3 months paid slip of you dad because to delivery a residence card you dad have to excising he treaty right in uk (work).
but if you dad change a job let a home office no soon as possible by record delivery letter with a new contract and one paid slip.
