Finally received my approval letter -- GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE THAT ARE STILL WAITING

Just wanted some help from the members.

When I received back my documents, the evenelope was damaged by Royal Mail so all my documents were exposed. Now I checked if all my documents were returned and only one was missing: the Life in the UK Test Certificate.
Do the HO return this certificate as well back to you?

I am already annoyed that all my documents were exposed to anybody...


Thanks for the help
