safeguard and support email from HO

[samwise1]

Hi All,

I received this email from HO yesterday and wanted to know if it's normal, as I've never heard from anyone before that they have received it.

- Plus, Obviously, the question is, do they even help, or is it just a standard tick-box formality?
- Does it indicate what stage my application will be at if someone has gone through a similar process? (FLR-FP as a spouse)

Regards,

What do you mean by "this email"?

Apologise, I should've put an extract of email:

Email Received:

DO NOT REPLY TO THE EMAIL - this is not a normal e-mail and the Home Office does not routinely contact Doctors. Not their role and they would need your formal consent to contact the Doctor

Hi Frontier,

After your red flag, I checked with the solicitor team, And they showed me that it came from a legit home office team (AO– FLR(M) Decision Maker) (Marriage and Family | Visa, Status and Information Services) (FLR M Safeguarding). Plus, the email has a legitimate HO reference number for my application.

They didn't take any consent yet, so I'm assuming it's at the moment confined to just finding out which GP we're registered with, etc
