We received my husband's passport on 18 Jan after requesting it repeatedly from 19 Dec. My application has now exceeded 6 months on 10 Feb. S'pose you can take it as a UKBA doesn't give a shit.mstevens wrote:I don't suppose anyone has any other suggestions on the below?
Thanks

There are 18 days left until we reach the 6 month deadline for my wife's ongoing RC application.
We have not requested our documents back at any point during the application so far.
I am wondering whether it is now worth it for us to request our documents back, in the hope that it will prod the UKBA to look at our file and issue the RC at the same time?
I would be interested to hear people's thoughts on this.
Many thanks.

We really just want to move on with our lives. We don't hurt anyone. I'm tearing up and I feel stupid but I am under a great deal of stress and confusion and even my closest friend and family are starting to ask why are we ever in this situation. And I have to try to convince them and myself that we are not the only ones. For this reason I would also like to thank everyone in this forum because knowing that you are there helps to feel less lonely and a bit understood.
I'll keep you updated if you like. Fingers crossed. He is going to be travelling on Tuesday morning alone because we cannot afford otherwise. Wish us luck.
Good night everyone

Received the envelope from UKBA today with a refusal to issue a residence card and no further basis of stay in the UK.
They've returned all the documents except my passport. (My spouse's passport was returned upon the request last month)
The reason they refused is that my EEA family member has failed to provide evidence that they are a qualified person.
I am asked to leave, and also entitled to appeal.
Now, they say in the refusal letter that on 9 January they wrote to my address requesting evidence. (I HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT). And to them I had time until 30 January to submit the evidence. Which I was not aware of.
Basically, they require a UK bank account funds details. (My spouse is from Cyprus, and with my application I have submitted bank statements from his home bank account as he didn't have a UK one) Also, his student letter was dated end of September, so while the application was in process he graduated and now they want his residency confirmation.
Now, two things, PLEASE.
1) As I have not received their initial request letter from 9 January can I ask to have that time? If they made the refusal based on me failing to provide documents, request for which I have never received.
2) They also inclosed pages with information on appeal.
And... I'm really stressed and scared right now, and it would really help to have a free legal help in London.
Please help me with what should I do now.

MP involved and ask for passport will force them to look into your file and if ur card is ready it will be sent through..
Good luck all

I strongly suggest you get in touch with immigration Lawyer.I believe your case needs a Lawyer who can guide you properly.I also think that you can resolve the issue without appealing because if your case is because of insufficient documentation which you never recieved the request from UKBA,Then the Lawyer would explain this and then you can re-apply without appealing or appeal in the presence of the Lawyer during the hearing.Goodluck!fatefull wrote:PLEASE HELP!
