Home Office Coronavirus Immigration Team

Hi

I’m currently in the process of getting help with a immigration query I have with the Home Office and I’ve emailed 
CIH@homeoffice.gov.uk with my query.

Today I’ve received a reply from home.office.coronavirus.immigration.team@notifications.service.gov.uk asking for some additional information.

Does anybody know if the reply is from a genuine email address or is it a suspicious one which I shouldn’t reply to.

Thanks

    notifications.service.gov.uk is a legitimate government domain. What information is being requested and how are you being requested to submit it?

    They are asking me to reply to the email with some details eg name, date of birth, reference numbers in relation to a visa application. I was just wondering if it was safe to reply or if it was a suspicious email.

    I’ve tried to look online to see if there’s any mention of it being legitimate but I can’t find any mention of it at all.
