This is a long shot but figured I'd ask if anyone has any experience with this.
The Mrs is currently going though the application process to become a British citizen (just in case EU nationals have issues after Brexit) and as part of this she first needs to apply for a permanent residence document. All well and good but we've discovered that when she first became resident in 2007 she was required to have a WRS document during the accession period of Poland from 2004 to 2011. We have copies of the application forms she filled in and she is adamant that they were submitted through her employer at the time. Unfortunately, we don't have the actual document and have absolutely no idea who to contact to ask. I'm guessing it's going to be the UK Border Agency or some branch of the Home Office but we have no contact details and I can't find anything with regard to A8 countries due it no longer being required.
We cannot continue with the application without it as giving a false declaration (saying she entered after 2011) is very illegal, and saying that she was working during the period without being able to provide the WRS reference number is also very illegal. So no, not going there.
She's going to start phoning places in the morning but I figured I'd see if anyone has any experience with this.
Any help would be much appreciated
