[mojeepo]

Hey Guys,

BUT I have just recieved email from a person in uk borde agency in Sheffield :
"
Dear Sir,

I am an immigration caseworker working for the UK Border Agency in Sheffield. I am currently considering your application for further leave to remain in the United Kingdom as a Tier 1 Post Study Migrant. In order to help me consider your application further I require the following information from you:

· You provided Lloyds TSB bank statements dated from 01November 2011 to 16 February 2012 meet the maintenance attribute, however statements dated from 13 February 2011 to 21 December 2011 had been omitted. Could you therefore provide bank statements ( stamped by the issuing bank if they are not originals ) dated from 13 February 2011 to 21 December 2011.

Please ensure that these documents are sent via post to the address stated below by 08 June 2012.

Failure to submit the information requested within the timeframe specified will result in the application being considered on the information already available and may result in the application being refused.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely
"

Does anybody know why I received this email and what I have to do?

Tnx

Sounds like the dates the caseworker has put in the email are wrong but that some of your statements are missing. Email the caseworker back to clarify.

[mojeepo]

I think so,

I have sent an email to clarify.

Thanks

They do work on weekends especially when there are backlogs. the email address format posted by the op is correct.

What is the postcode?

[mojeepo]

Sheffield S3 8NU

[Greenie]

Have they included the rest of the address and is that Vulcan house?

If so sounds genuine to me.

100% genuine because spammers cannot/will not create and maintain email server with @UKBA.gsi.gov.uk So be carefull don't ignore email.

[Deepshithole2010]

Well technically you don't need a server to create a fake email ID. I have got an email client and can create any email id I want and send the person an email with the option to receive a reply. However a tech savvy person should be able to discover that if he checks the header of the message which would clearly outline the server information. (But I doubt many of us would actually wouldn't know how to do this and this is where the spammers get you).

But excluding the possibility of any spam, the email does seem genuine and seems to be in the correct format. In any case the OP is sending the docs directly to UKBA so there is little incentive for any spammers other than friends having a joke/laugh at the expense of the OP.
