Indeed our application was rejected initially (for IMHO illegal reasons): they did not accept my registration certificate as proof of nationality and identity, even though it is a document issued by themselves confirming that they have verified my identity and nationality (and if I would have acquired British nationality after it was issued, UKBA would know about that even before me), and secondly they demanded the original marriage certificate, which again they had seen before when the first residence card for my wife was issued, and I would expect that a copy would still be held in our file with UKBA. So we had to resend the whole application again four weeks later (this time the whole lot was 181 grams) and now it has been accepted as complete and we received a Certificate of Application.fysicus wrote:First of all we sent my wife's passport of course, my residence permit issued in 2005 (which now has the status of registration certificate) and a letter from my employer confirming I was in this job from more than six years ago until now. In a cover letter we also briefly outlined our situation, and the form itself of course. The HO reference number that you have to enter on the form should give the caseworker access to our file which I presume contains copies of all documents we sent about five years ago to get the Residence Card for my wife. I don't see the point of sending documents or information they already have (or should have).
To be honest, my experience is they always ask for more documents, regardless how much you send them the first time. So I think it is better to feed them slowly.
I'm not expecting any spectacular developments soon. We have the CoA and a decision follows probably near or may be even after the six-months mark, despite our case being trivial IMHO.Any updates on your cases?
