True talk Jambo and thanks for the congratulation, i know the site is not affiliated to HO and i wasnt directing the thanks to them in such a way that i expect them to see it, its was just a way to show i received an excellent service and thumps up to them in a way someone who isnt happy with them will complain on the site too.Jambo wrote:This forum is not affiliated with or used by the HO (or HO employees).

Hope it's real . I heard stories like that in local news paper people like that turn up with fake ID from Inland revenue, Immigration, BankPanicbutton wrote:Hey there,
Was wondering if anyone else has heard of the HO doing an unannounced visit, My partner(Algerian) and I(Irish) have been waiting just over 6 months and yesterday morning two officers turned up at 8am wanting to check that we are legit. Unfortunately I was at work so they insisted on checking out our house for proof e.g. our bedroom and where our clothes were. I'm quite shocked & so is our local MP.
We are desperate to get the application approved soon as I need to apply for an Algerian Visa before we fly out for a wedding in early September.
Has anyone had this experience or heard of it...it seems a little unorthodox.....
Application Sent: 2/02/13
COA Received: 28/02/13
Further Info & Letter requesting them to confirm they had everything, Which was ignored: 15/05/13
Visit to MP: 13/07/13
MP sent letter: 22/07/13
Rang Home Office: 01/08/13 - Told that they were waiting for my passport, although offical copies sent in with application.
Visited MP again; 02/08/13 - He rang them as he was furious
HO called us: 02/08/13 - They called & asked us to send in my passport
Passport sent: 02/08/13
Passport received: 05/08/13 @ 07.03!
Rang HO: 08/08/13 - Just to check the status, told it was a priority?!
Unannounced Visit: 09/08/13 - They told my partner there was an issue because we hadn't sent my passport (I needed it to travel) He told them that it was sent & received on the 5th & he had spoken to the HO the day before. They also said they were happy that we are a genuine couple & would file a report stating that.

I applied for EEA4 via Retention of Rights in October 2012, been chasing the UKBA like a mad person since the 6 months elapsed. I've complained twice via email and once via signed for delivery, no response. I've involved my local MP and to be honest, they seem to be pretty useless in helping me getting any closer to an answer.
Everytime I phone them I get the same speech, your application has not been considered yet and I have to be patient and wait but last week an operator asked me strange questions. She asked if the Home Office had been in contact, obviously that was a no response. She said it looks like they have made their decision and then asked me if I sent in a special delivery envelope with my application. I replied yes but told her I stupidly did not write down the tracking no. She then said, that is no problem and gave me my tracking no and then explained that they have had problems at their despatch office in Liverpool but did not elaborate what it might be. She then said it has been like that for a week now....
So, a few days passed, I keep checking Royal Mail Track n Trace website but it still just says the item has not reached them yet to be tracked. I decided to ring the Home Office again and check on my progress.... now they are telling me no decision has been made and to be patient... WTF?
I am in the same situation as you. Phoned them several times and was told that they have made a decision already. However, they are having problems in their despatch department that are affecting the delivery of Residence Cards. So, we only have to wait!!!!Victoriajam wrote:Dear WebMonkey,WebMonkey wrote:Something weird is happening with my application, maybe someone here can shed some light on it.

It is true that there were some technical issues printing RCs. These started around the 23rd of July, but should be resolved by now. We had the same situation as you. One caseworker told us our application has been decided and when our MP called them, they told her no decision has been made yet. I am very sure your case has been decided and the second time you called, the person could not be bothered to look up your file and gave you the standard answer. I would contact them again and say you know it has been decided, then ask when it will be posted.
Not long to go now. Good luck!

He checked their ID's and they had the offical Car in the drive way. We have since received a letter from the HO via our MP which didn't say anything at all, just confirming the dates we applied and asked for us to be patient!askmeplz82 wrote: Hope it's real .

tell you wife before allowing anyone to enter call Home office to confirm or even take their picture . I am not saying they don't home visit. They do but many scammer or thief out there too
back in 2008 i had similar visit from someone TV licence with bad quality ID. I allowed that guy to check all the room when i was downstairs. But he was a scammer. He stole my cheque book and tried to withdraw money from my bank account but i was lucky Bank send me letter so they deposit the money back to my account
