Speak to your embassy in UK, set out the difficulty you have, ask if they will issue a replacement passport. Worth a try anyway!

Haapy New Year In Advance to all the guys here.I also want to thank moderatorsand contributors for advises nad instructions given to tackle UKBA on their part of delay and neglency in proceesing applications.

i am in the same situation as u, mine will be 6 months on the 10/1/13 and can understand your frustration unfortunately there is little we can do but wait. Personally i am tired of calling them, they have my wife's passport for all this while and she is planning to visit her family mid january. i am now thinking of seeking the help of a solicitor if it will help.
Lets wait for ho staffs to return from xmass and end of year holidays, maybe there will b many surprises in the not too far future.

Am in the same spot like you...!
I called them last week and one fool told me. you sir must wait!
I was like, Oi! Have been waiting and it's coming to 40weeks.
Yet the by law you must make a decision within 26 weeks.
Then. His like am sorry I can help you and hanged up...!

To many to list list here . Was it because i complained ? Thanks . Am sorry for the long writing and your precious time

This does not seem right. There are some obvious confusion somewhere

Can you elaborate for me further please Obie.Thanks

Guys am waiting for your help and i should submitt these things ASAP. Thanks

Well i don't know from which guidance or instruction, the writer of that letter extracted these enormous requirements.

You need to prove that your wife is Self-Employed, and that you are married, and you are residing in the UK.

All the rest of the documents he stated are not found in any part of the directive, except the immigration rules, and i am sure you are not applying under the rules, so there is an obvious confusion.

You should write a further letter, providing them evidence of her treaty rights, and proof of address in the form of bank statement. Also quote the directive, and inform the caseworkers that such requirements are no where to be found there. I wish you all the best.

Good morning Obie , Jambo and all .
Thank you for help but could you forword me by quoting the correct directive and how to draft the covering letter please!Thank you.

I woke up with this enormous thinking on my head

Hi to all,
Fisrt let me apologise to you all for lending your precious time in reading the post again and am not intended it should be that long but for clarity sake in case you like to ask more question everything is written.

just would like to give you an update as to how far i have gone with my complaint if you must have read my postabout my application help 10 months now.After sending letter at Croydon, Manchester complaint units nad also don it by email, supprisingly the reply the Ccompliant unit sent was that UKBA have sent you two letters to your previous addres, one to your wife and to you and that address has never be mentioned in the application at all.
my previous application was for visa renewal and that has been changed before i even got the visa.
Infact my CoA was posted to the right /correct address . Why did the UKBA do such confusion/ mistake?
However we immediately reply this to the Compliant unit again

My other issues is that the documents they asked were so many that i could not understand why BR5 application for Residenc card required such ambiguity, bulky documnents again sfter sending them dozens of documnets which i think they didnt even open my application nad decided to send letters to an abandoned address long ago.

If yor read my past thread about this you actually connect this last post very well to the subject content
After downloading such documents? we have replied to them on the 9th as advice by Obie that i should qoate in the Regulations that never asked for all that documents . Well i gave 70% of Documnets and evidence they asked for.

There was a questionaire also they asked to fill in and return. question like, when we married where we married, what is my long term arrangement to stay,where we met each other,If ever applied under the Immigration law on the basis of the relationship,when did we decide to married, accomdation, how how many rooms. how many people living there?etc Iwe didnt want to filled in that onebut we did at the end. But then the aother documnets which i listed on my previous post was twice as much of this questionaire.

Next what should i do now to get my anaswer rapidly as this is the ten months now and they have wronged me in many areas like breaking the Rule(6months)and sending important letters to a wrong address which had never mentioned in my application and letters to my wife where she never lived before,
Please mates asked to through some light nad help on thess issue .
Thank you

Hi mates, i still trust this forum that i could get a reply from my recent post and explantion, question and doubt caused by UKBA .Hope someone concern will encourage with solid reply. I thank you

Hi Guys,
Almost a week now i got no answer from my last post please help
thanks.

Again they asked us for my wife Limited Company:First there are lot of flaws in the letter regarding UKBA. They mentioned my wife is my sponsor and called his compmnay memorandum nad Asrticle of Asssociation and share certificateto confirm she is the majority or sharedholder equally.

It this right for UKBA to look for unneccessry reason in my application that did not mention about any of such documnets? Why are they doing this to me? Is it becuase i told them i will take matter to high Cout for reviewing? They have really frusttrted my whole life and effort.please i ahve tears crying in my heart .please someone help me

Hi all,
No one to help on my post? thanks wiating for any help.

Hi maomao,

I really empathise with you but i bet,there is nothing much anyone can do except for you to check out the whole directive here and copy those section that are relevant to you as a reference when you write to them(not email) perhaps every 3 days and hope for the best or get in touch with a good lawyer to help out if you can afford it.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2006 ... egulation/

Who knows in this forum what it means for UKBA to send mouve or red colour sticker like stamp to post the information they required us to send
The red sticker stamp has the following wrtings:

Sheffield Address:
Application Reference:
Caseworker Name:
And BF: /6/2/2013

Please can somebody explain this sticker colour satmp and what it means?
Also what is BF on the date?
The Case worker said to me i should affix stamp when sending
Thank you
