You can upload before you book an appointment once you have registered on the ukcvas portal.

Hello

There doesn’t seem to be a clear section for cohabitation or relationship documents. The options are as follows:

Other
Residence in the UK
Finances
Proof of business
Life events
Medical information
Sponsors / employment
Proof of identity / travel history
Educational

Many Thanks

Just to confirm, if our appointment is 3 months down the line say, documents to be uploaded are those dated prior to submission of application? They won’t ask to see documents dated after?

Yes

No. However note that UKVI could ask for any documents at any point while they process the application.

Hello Guys

With regards to uploading the IHS confirmation, is it just the email they sent confirming payment or is there an actual PDF file? As all we have is immigration health surcharge complete email and transaction confirmation email?

Many Thanks

I think nothing is uploaded rather the payment reference number is provided wherever gets asked.

Ok great

So on the UKVCAS upload document section, I do not need to upload any documents relating to the IHS?

Thank you Seagul

In the application form it asks for all Passports and current identity cards

Do I need to upload all of these on UKVCAS or only the current passport that’s to be used for the visa?

Many Thanks

Hello guys

Can anyone shed some light on how long after they submitted their application to when they had a confirmation email from UKVCAS?

We submitted ours almost 2 weeks ago and have heard nothing from them at all.

Many Thanks

Some don't receive anything at all from UKVI except the final decision.

Sorry Seagul I’m Referring to getting an actual appointment. We submitted the application online .gov and created a UKVCAS account, I’ve uploaded half the documents so far. There are no appointments available and they haven’t contacted us to say when they will be available. Should we have expected an email from them by now? Or do we just simply wait until they say an appointment is ready?

Many thanks

There are delays and they are dealing with applicants in the date order that they applied (currently dealing with June applicants). You need to wait to hear from UKCVAS.

Perfect CR001

Also can I ask, I am aware that if you have an appointment, you will have up until that date to submit your documents. What’s the time limit if you are selected to NOT go to an appointment due to being able to use previous biometrics (I believe this will be our case as we have done 2 visas in the last year)?

Many Thanks

You will have a 'submit' option on the UKCVAS portal OR you will be contacted by UKVI to email your supporting documents.

Note that the 'submit' option can only be done once. You cannot then add more documents and submit again.

Ok great

Also Is there anyway of previewing your docs once uploaded? I can see the PDF name but no option to view the actual document?

Thanks
