Requested incorrect information

[Bukel]

My husband applied for British citizenship on the 27th of November , he did biometrics etc and we have been waiting. About three weeks ago he got a letter from the home office asking for him to send additional information by a certain date . He is Turkish and came to uk on a spouse visa in October 2011 , he then had ILR and we applied to British citizenship , we did the check and send and she said the application was perfect And we met all the criteria .
They have requested additional information asking for evidence and proof of my husbands movements over a 5 year period and all the times he was out of the U.K. Plus proof of how we supported himself during This period with evidence .

I am positive this must be incorrect as I thought you only had to show 3 years which we have done , 5 years ago he wasn't in the country and didn't have a visa to enter ? So for one he would have been out of the U.K. For longer than the allowed time ?
They also want his old passport and new passport

The day after he got the letter he emailed and posted a letter explaining this and asking why was it needed as he only needed to show 3 years ? We have since sent another Email and telephoned and Haven't had a response at all ... Am so worried as feel like can't speak to anyone to explain the problem

The man on the phone said it just seems like a mistake and they will notice and let us know ???

We are coming up to the 6 months waiting

Anyone offer any advice or had simaler ? Any contact numbers that get you to speak to someone who can help

Or have we made a glaringly obvs mistake with our application ? The check and send was fine ???

Any advice welcome

How bizarre.
Clearly a caseworker error or case of mistaken identity/ jumbled casenotes.

Sounds like hubby has been confused as an EU applicant.

Did he apply as spouse including your full details plus your passport & marriage certificate & etc?
Namely a Section 6(2) of BNA application?

3 years residency proof is the requirement for spouse (and no need for any economic activity either).

Am glad you agree

I provided my passport and marriage book to show we were applying as spouse so must be wrong on there case

You shouldve replied back to the address on the letter stating you ( ur husband) are applying under AN6 (2) so the information they've requested is irrelevant to the application.


A friend of mine of mine also turkish...he applied and he used just passport, brp, copy of british wifes passport and marriage certificate along with life in the uk and english language certificate. Nothing else required.

It may also be worth ringing NCS and ask the person who took urr application to ring up on your behalf as they call directly to a caseworker.... my wifes ncs did this when they sent wrong acknowledgement letter.
