Any update to your daughter case Lisa? I am in the same situation they supporting document all sent and all received on time according to the Special delivery barcode track and trace but letter came a few days letter saying they have not received the support document. I refuse to pay again. I am on my way to see the MP tomorrow. This is crazy and ridiculous from the HO. I have made a complaint and wrote back with my proof of delivery copies inside.
Let us know what's your daughter situation as am monitoring mine. thanks

This has been a long process but the end is in sight! Finally an end to all the stress!

We learnt the hard way that the Home office CAN lose documents and CAN make mistakes on their side. If you have to send anything in after the initial application always use recorded signed for postage, keep the receipts and always put the case workers' name on the envelope! We failed on that last point and it almost lost us the citizenship.
