but they used SENTLY service to send me this message.

spoke to some people and barrister they have informed me that its scam and called their customer service line.
they are also not aware of anything like this.

Wondering if the spelling mistake makes it more or less likely to be genuine!

Unaware if HO use sent.ly (now I know what sently is).

Hi noajthan thanks for your reply.....maybe someone knows and uve confirmed from my friends and no one accepting it. So maybe someone trying to pressurise me. I have submitted my additional documents on 11th Feb do you know how long does they take to give the decision since I have attended the PSC centre. I have to go abroad but since the case worker asked me to submit the documents all I have to do is wait.

My sentence was complete and I had not intention of adding 'TIME' to it. I used 'THIS' as reference to the 'SMS' service.

CR001 isn't online this evening, but you've misunderstood. She was saying that she has never heard of the HO using this text service.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
