Hi Nadeem1992, I received mine almost after 2 and a half months of sending the docs to them. It's only a week since you have sent to them. I suggest you should wait for a month after you have sent to them. Normally they send the docs back between two and four weeks. Thanks, Ron Hi ronson I got my d...
Hi Just Jak, not yet. She is yet to receive any call/SMS from VAC to collect her passport. I am not sure how long they normally take to contact the applicant to collect the passport after a decision has been made. What's your situation? Thanks, Ronson Hi Ronson, Did you receive your supporting docs...

Hi all, Another update from me. I sent an email to UKVI asking for an update as it has been 62 working days since my wife has had her biometrics appointment for the UK Settlement Visa. Below is their response: Dear XXXXXX, Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centr...
Hi Karmy, Glad I was able to help. Fingers crossed. Hope you will get a result soon. Hi Ron, Hope you are well. For the biometrics appointment as I the sponsor will be sending documents from the uk. Will the applicant need to take any supporting documents to her biometrics appointment? Thanks Hi Fi...

Hi Karmy, I don't think it is right for you to ask them for sending you the supporting docs back unless you really need it and have a valid reason. They normally send the docs back when they are ready. Below is how I constructed my enquiry to them- 1. Go to the link https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.g...
Hey Karmy, yes they replied back to me within 2 working days and apologised. I don't think it's mandatory for them to send a confirmation email after they receive the supporting documents. Below is the response I received from them after my email: Dear xxxxxxxxx Thank you for your enquiry, we apolog...
Hey Karmy, Yes, I waited 2 months until I have decided to mail to them to find out whether they have received the supporting docs or not. People normally receive a confirmation email within 2-3 weeks of sending the supporting documents. In my case it was different. I didn't receive any email from th...
Hi Karmy, I sent my docs to- Settlement Applications International Operations and Visas PO Box 5852 Sheffield S11 0FX They kept all the photocopy versions and sent me back the original copies i.e. job letter, marriage certificate, passport size photos, home inspection report, job confirmation letter...
Better wait for her to complete the biometric and then you can ask her to scan and email everything for example singed copy of the application form, visa fee receipt etc.
I also certified the bio page of my passport and the transit stamp for my time in Bangladesh for wedding.l
Hi Fizzy, Sorry for not making it clear. No, they don’t sign the application form. I sent my wife the application form via email and she printed, signed 2 paged and emailed me those two pages before she went to her biometric appointment. Regarding certification of documents, yes she photocopied and ...
Hi Fizzy, This is what I did for my wife- 1. I emailed her the application form which I have submitted online (I basically submitted it for her as I know all the information they require). I asked her sign two pages and scan > email to me. 2. When she went for the biometrics, they asked her if she w...
Hi Fizzy, As far as I am concerned, if they have told you the address for sending the supporting documents then you should send your docs to the address they have mentioned. In my honest opinion, sending it to them is good and both time + money-saving option for you. You don't need to wait for 3 hou...
Hi Karmy, I have received my docs back from Sheffield office this morning. Date applied : 27/03/2019 Biometric taken in Bangladesh : 31/03/2019 Sent supporting docs to Sheffield : 10/04/2019 Document received confirmation email from Sheffield : None. I had to send them an email to confirm me whether...
Hey Karmy, Probably I couldn't make myself clear in the last reply. After I have submitted my wife's online application via Visa4UK, I immediately received an confirmation email from them (I used my email address) where they mentioned to address where to send the supporting docs. The address is- Vu...

Hi Karmy, That's sound right. If they have confirmed that your application is under process then you don't need to do anything. Good luck with your application. I missed the email they sent to me. I thought they don't send any confirmation email after submitting the online visa application form so I...
Thanks Karmy. It makes sense to me now. I didn't get any email after my wife's biometric appointment. I only received one email from them after I have submitted my wife's online application form where they mentioned sending the supporting docs to the below address. International Settlement Applicati...
Just go to the VFS centre in the UK. You don’t need an appointment. It’s a walk-in service. It will cost you between £75-£100. Everything should be done within 3 hours. Have you checked the email you have received from the Visa4UK after submitting the online application form? There it should say whe...
