The question is - Since I have sent my blue DCRP card, will they be able to see that my status has been acquired more than year ago or they require letter which came with DCPR?
Because when I was reading about documentation needed to be sent, there was nothing about this letter.
I would be grateful if anyone could clarify on this topic.
Thank you.
Hi strawberryzester, did you do a postal app instead of using the Nationality Checking Service (NCS)?
In any event, there is no need to submit the cover letter stating your date of "deemed acquisition" as long as you have provided the DCPR itself. These deemed date letters are themselves quite novel - until a couple of months ago, the HO didn't bother telling applicants the date of deemed acquisition of PR status, and applicants had to resort to either using the NCS or making a Subject Access Request for data disclosure where there was any doubt as to the date.
Long story cut short, if you acquired PR on 1/5/16 that will be the date recorded on your digital file on the General Case Information Database which your caseworker will check. They won't need the letter, keep it for your reference. Good luck with the application.
