Regards, Guru me and my husband have spoken to solicitor couple of times regarding COA but he always suggest us for waiting, i think this is our mistake we choose incompetent solicitor,last time when my husband ask him same question then he advice us that now this case is almost on decision stage so we should wait for that.what we should do your more guide line is needed:-)

Finding a really good solicitor is difficult.

Note that "HO office received application on 15th of march 2012". UKBA has an internal rule that they they will issue the RC as a matter of priority if you request back your passport after 3 months have elapsed. So why not request back your passport from UKBA, and maybe you will get the RC instead of just a COA? You should include a cover letter saying that you want to travel and requesting that they issue the RC as a matter of priority.

Cheers Guru, its really good and amazing idea but we are afraid if we request our passports back may be HO send back all our application. then solicitor will not get any responsibility, any how we can think about this.
Guru if you have their phone number please share with me.

[Directive/2004/38/EC]

If you are not in any rush, then just relax and wait for whatever evolves in the future.

But note that UKBA is very clear that asking for your passports back does NOT act to withdraw the application. Only if you explicitly tell them that you no longer want the application for the Residence Card to go ahead.

The following is from the document I referred you to:

Section 2 – HANDLING OF REQUESTS FOR THE RETURN OF DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED IN SUPPORT OF EEA APPLICATIONS

1.6 Applications should not be treated as withdrawn unless the applicant or agent has categorically stated that they no longer wish to pursue it.

many thanks both of you Guru and maomao, actually we are not in rush we can wait up to six month as UKBA indicated on web site that they will process our case within six month.the thing is that they should must issue COA which my husband need for his job.i will do mail very politely to lady on the address which you provide me.unfortunately i could not get any phone number i want to speak someone that if they did not supply COA at least make decision within six month.any more suggestion will be highly appreciated:-)
