What makes sense to you, I find non-sensical. Wearing David's star on your forearm and to walk around the perimeter of the camp equally deters illegal immigration.
On a more constructive note, I have now had my complaint investigated.
This will be specifically interesting to a category of applicants, who had their Residence Card application made but which is in progress. I essence, legality of the applicant in UK can be demonstrated by
1. Relation to the EEA national; and
2. Evidence of EEA national's exercising treaty rights in UK.
Transposed, this means that the applicant can apply by providing relation links to EEA national (marriage certificate, marriage certificates and the like), EEA national's passport, ID card or Certificate of Registration of an EEA national (which I suggest to do, as this is the easiest-ly recoverable document) and perhaps, payslips (other evidence of exercising treaty rights).

While his passport may be sufficient proof of his identity, it does not satisfy the Department that he meets the relevant residency requirement.
In the absence of a valid visa or BRP, Mr XXX may provide documentation to show the following:
• evidence that their sponsor is an EEA national. Documents such as a valid EEA national passport or identity card issued by the relevant authority would suffice.

Exercising Treaty rights in this context means either being a jobseeker, working, being self employed, self sufficient or a student. There is some guidance on how EEA nationals exercise Treaty rights and the evidence that can be used to demonstrate that at:
