In order for us to proceed with your application we need you to provide additional information. A letter requesting additional information has been sent to you via the mail. If we do not receive the information from you within 30 days of the date of that letter, your application will be considered withdrawn.
What can it be that they want?
I had the exact message earlier this week. It was my first ever credit card application with barclays and when I contacted them they indicated my SSN was issued 20 years after my DOB and that they would need additional documentation like a copy of passport or voter id card or green card etc. Pretty strange for a CC company to do such pseudo immigration check. I have not sent anything to them yet contemplating if I really want that card bad enough to send those docs to them or not. Any ideas out there?
