Indefinite leave to remain: calculating continuous period in UKYou must only include whole days in this calculation. Part day absences, for example, less than 24 hours, are not counted.
Yes, depending on availability. You may have to pay a fee for a next day appointment1) Would it be possible to book a next day premium appointment with Sopra Steria, once I have submitted my application online?
Hi Zimba,

I just uploaded all evidentiary documents for my application. Perhaps inevitably, I have yet more questions and would be really grateful if Zimba or any other moderators here are able to assist.
1. In line with Sopra Steria's document upload policy, I scanned all documents in grey-scale. I'm slightly worried because for all my previous visa applications, the case workers always demanded I show them the original bank statement, pay slip, degree etc. I hope Sopra Steria are following the Home Office guidelines here. Do you foresee any problems with this? With the new system, evidence can be originals or copies. Only passport has to be original nothing else
2. I uploaded only the first page of my current passport and the signed declaration in the mandatory documents section. In the Travel History section, I uploaded all pages of my current and previous passports. Would this be acceptable? Its fine. If i was you I would upload the full current passport in proof of application section which is mandatory. But what you did is okay also
3. In the immigration status section, I uploaded a scan of passport pages with the first UK visa and entry stamp. I had to return my past residence permits at the time of my last two applications. I still had photocopies of those residence permits which I duly scanned and uploaded, in addition to that of my current residence permit. Do you think this is ok? This is not needed. You passports and current brp is enough
4. In the immigration status section, should I also upload scans of visa approval letter I've received from the Home Office in the past? I already provided reference number for my previous applications when I completed the UKVI online form. not needed
5. In the finance section, I uploaded scans of my original bank statements for the last three months as well as my pay slips for the 3 month period. The bank statements are originals which I receive in post each month. While the address of the branch is listed on each page, there is no phone number. I also got stamped printouts of my account statement for the same period, from my local branch which has both the address and the phone number. Should I also upload this statement as an additional precaution? Scan copies of originals are fine. Evidence can be originals or even online statements
6. It's a bit late to book Sopra Steria's document checking service, as my appointment is scheduled for tomorrow. I'm heading to their 'Premium Lounge' in London. The scan quality for the first page of my passport, isn't great. Would they be able to scan this again for me? I went to london premium myself. They will scan your current passport anyways. I was told they scan 15 pages to make sure the passport is genuine. Many times they dont scan full passports as they say its not required. Good thing is you have done it yourself so they will have no problem to submit it. We as applicants have to make sure we are providing everything as per our satisfaction. Sopra staff does not know about any immigration stuff. They are just there to take your biometrics and double check your documents as per the checklist. Its best to carry all documents with you. They will not even see any document except for the passport, brp and your appointment barcoded letter. But its best to have so incase there are any problems with the scan they can scan again for you.
Thanks.
