Re: ROA application process

What was the reference number you used ? If you used royal mail to post your application to HO, try using the tracking reference number. If it is not recognized, use the reference number mentioned in any letter sent to you by HO after receiving your application.

Re: UK Standard visitor

For a Standard Visitor Visa,
1) Do we need to submit photo copies of every original document we submit along with the application ? Please advice.
2) If yes, do we need to Self Attest those photo copies ?


Thanks,
