Continuing to hold
More fun in communication with the Home Office. Although they did not respond to my request to confirm that they had received my application, they did inform me over the phone (no, they did not call me) that my application was refused. But they did not inform me of the reason, which would matter because it would determine whether I am able to appeal or have to submit a new application. Today they informed me, sort of, that an official notification was mailed to me over a week ago. In this message, they told me that the letter had been sent to me "in the envelope you provided" (I did not provide an envelope), and gave me a tracking number (which was the tracking number under which I had sent my materials to them). This leaves me in a dilemma as to whether it is worse that the Home Office 1) fails to provide information, 2) provides incomplete information, or 3) provides inaccurate information.

Sorry to hear this...I am not surprised though. When I submitted my passport for my residence permit, they first did not receive my request for returning the passport within 10 days (although it arrived with the passport) and the next day lost the passport (I found out that they lose several hundred passports per year), then they kept calling first suggesting that Marijana's passport was also lost (which it wasn't) or that it hadn't been submitted (which it was)... They finally admitted that they didn't in fact lose Marijana's passport, and sent a lovely form letter acknowledging that they lost mine, and of course once I get a new passport, I have to re-submit it as they actually lost my passport before looking at it...
It's heartening to know that there is an agency as bad as the dear old US Migra.
All the same, I'm hoping to get there sooner rather than later and have a beer with you.
