Dear FOI Requests,
Re: Cancelled: FOI - 53114 - (Wayne Pearsall) - 2019-04-02 - (Acknowledgement)
I most certainly did request recorded information... But for simplicity:
Please provide the following information:
1) Has a form been compiled for surinder Singh applications to the EU settlement scheme
2) provide a copy of said form
3) provide guidance issued to case work handlers for such applications
4) provide guidance issued to customer service (or employees etc with different names) which deal with queries regarding the EU settlement scheme.
Yours sincerely,
Wayne Pearsall
Dear Wayne Pearsall,
Thank you for your enquiry dated 2nd April regarding EU settlement.
Our response to your enquiry will involve asking for or disclosing your
personal data. We cannot do this via ‘WhatDoTheyKnow.com’, which is a
public website. I would therefore be grateful if you would let us have
your personal e-mail and the query to which we can reply.
Alternatively, if you would like to contact us directly, you can at the
following address:
[1][email address]
Please also refer to our website for guidance by using this link:
[2]https://www.gov.uk/homeoffice”.
We provide this email response whenever the enquiry is “case specific”.
Please note the onus is upon individual customers to ensure that they
satisfy the requirements for the visa they are applying for. Guidance
material accompanies each and every application and should be considered
when making an application. UK Visas and Immigration is not able to give,
indicate or advise upon the outcome of any such application prior to it
being given full and careful consideration.
Directing you to the guidance material is the only advice we can give you.
If you need any further help you should seek independent immigration
advice. Immigration advisers can help you with immigration matters,
including completion of forms and representing you at a tribunal. The
Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) regulates
immigration advisers, which mean they must meet certain standards.

Dear Wayne Pearsall,
Thank you for contacting FOI Requests. Your original request of 02/04/2019
did not ask for recorded information and therefore did not meet the
criteria for a valid request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Therefore, your email was answered outside of the Act and you received a
response from UKVI. As this was not a valid FOI request it is not subject
to an Internal Review.

Oh dear...
Did you just make a data protection Breach...
Yours faithfully,

Dear Home Office,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Home Office's handling of my FOI request 'EU settlement scheme application form - surinder Singh case'.
Now we have established that the data I requested is held, I would like you to evaluate your handling of my request.
I made a valid foi request. You sidestepped it.
The response exceeded the legal timeframe.
You have refused information, and I say that the public interest is in favour of disclosure.
You appear to hold training material, given information that has been disclosed refers to slides (I'm assuming PowerPoint) these fall for disclosure.
You have breached the data protection act by discussing sensitive information of a third party that had nothing to do with this request, or was not mentioned in this request.
You are required to protect personal data. The FOIA is clear that personal information is not to be disclosed in such a request.
Please review your response.
You have the postal address of [Name Removed]

Dear Home Office,
Oh. My. days.
Why are you once again disclosing personal data of my wife.
Despite the previous cost outlining that such should not be done...
You hold my andd my wife's personal email. Why are you having such blatant disregard for an applicant's personal data....
The foi any is clear. S.40.
Yours ,

So the FOIA is applicant blind.
The immigration records of a person are sensitive data.
The home office searched my wife's immigration records to respond to a generic foi request which made no reference to my wife's application
The home office attempted to make me reference my wife's case, I refused to do so knowing they were trying to prevent disclosure of the information I was requesting.
The home office continued to divulge sensitive information about my wife.
I outlined this breach and told them to contact us privately.
They then published another breach.
But don't worry people. Your information is safe in their hands.

The WhatDoTheyKnow administration team was informed that third party information had inadvertently been disclosed in the response and internal review response documents on this request.
We have taken action to remove the third party information from public view.
