My problem is that i need my passport as i have to sign a legal document in a embassy and the wont accept any other documents , (yes i know about the NCS and i did send my original as i was sure that i wasn't going to travel) so, there will be a problems if i call HO and ask for my passport back? will they cancel my application? it will affect?

See Requesting passport back.

hi thanks ...but that post only give a number, i need to know if i call them and ask for my passport will affect my application..

thanks

The post also says

If her passport was already scanned into the UKBA system, she could get it back. That's is why using NCS is good value for money.

So it depends what state your application is at. If passport was already scanned, there is no problem getting it back. If not, you might need to withdraw the application.

You will need to call them to find out.

You may not need to re-apply. I was told that I should wait 3 months after submission before requesting the docs back. The implication will be that if they need them back, they will request it and delay your application. BUT, still give them a call. Good luck
