Hi all,
I applied for Barclays card and was told on the phone to send them copy of ID, SS card and utility bill by mail.
I did sent all of these.
Then I received a letter requesting all the same but also specifiying that it should be image of the front and back. I have sent copy of ID front and back, but SS card only front.
And now I sit and worry. Does it matter for them to have the copy of the back of my SS card? Is it important? Should I send it now? Did anyone here receive
their card without sending them back of SS card (for your first time applying).
Thank you!

Thank you. I called several times and nobody answered.
So I just have sent my docs again. I don't know if it really matters for them to have the back of the customers' ssc, but the second mail I got from them (asking to send docs with the front and back) was already after I sent my first package and it was received. So I decided I better resend it since I couldn't ask them on the phone.
And I got approved 
I am so happy even with only $1k SL because with my new credit history I couldn't hope for much! But totally satisfied with $1k for now also because I wanted with this card to replace my Cap1 secured which was $1k too.
May be, moderators, move this to Approvals section please.
From the application to approval it took about a month. I got denied first and called recon line.
This is Special Financing Visa which I liked the most from all Barclays cards for it's look - simplicity and elegance 
I am also thinking to get Apple Watch with it.
And I finally figured out how to put images of my cards into signature here! Took image from Wallet app, will add my new Barclays there when I receive it. Amazing - the card is already reported to EX and TU! (may be EQ too, I can't see it for now)
Now I closed Cap1. Wonder how long it will take to get my deposit back.

Congratulations!
Congratulations on your approval!
Thank you, guys!
Just now got notification from EQ - added there too. 3 days after approval the card is reported to all 3 CBs! Very cool
