Hi Smas4er

what info can we get from SAR request? What do we need to ask?. I am wondering whether they send a copy of our application if requested. As last time I applied through immigration adviser and do not have a copy of it?

Thanks
Neeta

It would be a great help for others including myself if you share your experience in this forum

Thanks for update Linker, I am more confident now
