Where's my passport!?

Hi, I just received my BRP for my FLR (M) visa, but i have gotten anything else back from the Home Office including my passport and other supporting documents. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is there a number I can call to see what happened to them?

They are sent separately by the Home Office for security reasons.  You'll receive the passport back via Royal Mail.  It'll arrive today or tomorrow. 

Does this happen a lot where the BRP arrives before the decision letter?

Yes, they always arrive separately.  Usually the BRP arrives first as it's sent via secured courier and the rest is via Royal Mail second class.

That's why I always recommend using special delivery when you apply by post. It's safer and quicker they give you the option to include a pre-paid special delivery envelope with your application for return of documents. Otherwise they will just send it back by recorded delivery which goes in with the regular post and will take a good bit longer.
