I've been going to the mp since my app was returned. I think the mp response (writing ti ukba) is slow or perhaps I'm impatient.
When ukba returned my app they included a letter(below) with no reference no. I believe ukba would have requested a passport rather tgan return my app if I'd used a lawyer. Anyway the letter is as follows:
I am writing with regard to your recent request for a residence card under the immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006.
As you may be aware there are a number of ways that a third country national can be entitled to a residence card. These include being the family member (such as a spouse or civil partner) of an unmarried partner) of a Union citizen who is currently a worker, self employed, a self sufficient person or a student. Equally the EEA regulations contain provisions for third country national to retain a right of residence in particular circumstances such as following divorce from the Union citizen provided certain criteria are met.
Unfurtunately, the submitted documents are insufficient to establish that you have a right of residence under the 2006 Regulations in any of the ways outlined above. I am therefore returning them to you with this letter. This letter will indicate what additional documents/evidence you need to provide should you wish to re-apply for a Residence Card. A further application can be made using EEA2 application form available from the UKBA website via the following link:-

Please note that this is not a formal determination of your status under the Regulations. Our purpose in returning the documents is to enable you to assemble a complete dossier of supporting evidence and to submit this with a fresh application when you are in a position to do so.
In the meanwhile we will not be giving any further consideration to your case.
To establish a right of residence, and therefore eligible for a residence card, the following additional evidence will be needed:-
[]
Evidence of identity (B)
- Your original valid passport or IND ARC;
Please remember to enclose a latest pay for your EEA national sponsor when re-submitting the application.
Once you are in a position to supply all the evidence required to support the application, please re-submit the form and up to date evidence to the address detailed above.
Please ensure that original documents are provided as copy will not be accepted.
Failure to submit original documents and up to date evidence may result in the application being returned again.
