Are you sure it is ICO??

What exactly does the letter state?

ICO doesn't generally contacted the public for no reason. They also have NOTHING to do with immigration.

Did you mean the Overseas Visitors Records Office (OVRO), instead of the ICO?

ICO does not work for the Home Office. ICO is an independent adjudicator on Freedom of Information and Data Protection requests. As SARs are Data Protection requests, they can be adjudicated on by ICO.
