Isn't it irrelevant for HO to ask passport copy from one of my clients ? If someone paid for my service, it does not mean he must give his personal information to HO !!!!

Hello there, may I ask you under what category of application did they ask your client for their passport copy? Only then one can give you some suggestion.

Perhaps they want to know whether the client is legitimately working/procuring business in the UK?

One of your clients, what is your role?

this is standard audit of employers, to check if they are employing legitimate immigrants or not. My agency had similar HO audit once.

Hi,

I did some work for a client and he paid me some money. I showed this income obviously at HO when I applied for Tier-1 extension but he now informed that he has received this letter and he is not going to reply back as he did not sign up for this and I have asked him 100 times, but his answer is still no. I am just wondering what would happen to me please? Thanks

what is the nature of the work you did for the client? what was your role and what is his business?

Could be 3 possible reasons.

1: UKBA want to see that you are/was providing your services to legal persons in the UK.Or that your Clint's are real and present in the UK.

2: UKBA has found some thing fishy regarding your earning claim and now they want to get hold of your Clint as well.

3: it's just a routine ask.
