due course.

lawfully resident in the UK under the Immigration (European Economic Area)

you can continue to rely on these residence rights until you are granted status
under the scheme or your application is refused, including following any appeal
against a decision to refuse your application.
If you have sent us your passport or identity document in support of your application, and
it is not enclosed with this certificate of application, we will return it as soon as we can.
You should not make any travel plans until it is returned to you. If you need your passport
because you have to travel urgently and unexpectedly, please use the return of
documents request form at: www.gov.uk/visa-documents-returned.
We will contact you if we need any further information in order to process your application.
