. . . as soon as I [present tense verb phrase]. . .
I think that the main issue in the two sample sentences that you proposed is the use of the future tense after the expression "as soon as I. . ." Although the time indicated is the future, the verbs “will” and “shall” should not be used after expressions lượt thích “when I . . .” or “as soon as I . . .” Examples:
Correct: I’ll get back lớn you as soon as I finish my work.
Incorrect: I’ll get back lớn you as soon as I’ll finish my work.
Correct: I’ll get back lớn you as soon as I reach trang chính.
Incorrect: I’ll get back lớn you as soon as I’ll reach trang chính.
Correct: I will recognize him when I see him.
Incorrect: I will recognize him when I will see him.
Of course, if the time reference is lớn the past, then you should use the past tense, as in “I recognized him as soon as I saw him.”

Good luck!
I'll get back lớn you as soon as I've finished my work
or for the other sentence:
'I'll get back lớn you as soon as I've reached home'.
There are alternatives like:
'I'll get back lớn you when I'm home' or
'I'll give you a bell when I'm home'
and ví on....
