I uploaded all documents into the folder Proof of Application. This is easy for the caseworker to view documents. Don't worry about the quality of your scanned supporting documents, as long as you can see them clearly. The staff at your appointment center will do the scan of your passport even if y...
Thanks allyf! I hope someone who has completed the process will come back to advise on the issue of 'proof of application' but they all seem to have deserted us!
I just did a test run scanning my passport (I am the sponsor) and the entire document is 1.4mb. The resolution 75dpi is not bad but I could have increased that and still ended up with a file under 6mb.It is a real bore though doing it! Can anyone tell me please whether the applicant has to provide a...
I wonder if they are asking for proof of payment when they ask for proof of application? It seems weird that, having submitted the application form online, you have to resubmit it! And isn’t it a large file?
Dear Members, I submitted my online application. At the end of it gave me list of docs like passport, visa,...... . Then i was directed to sopra website. There none of these docs list appear on mandatory docs list? Below it got some other docs which all are not relevant to my appl like finance, emp...
That makes sense! It would be nice, and maybe they will do it soon, to have guidance notes which used to be available under the old system. It is probably more important to upload all the necessary documents rather than putting them in the right 'boxes'.
I hope someone who has completed the process will help. I am not sure myself but, of course, you can wait until your appointment and get them to do it! Or get their advice on what should go where. I mean does Residence refer to documents including Land Registry, tenancy agreements etc but it might m...
It is wonderful when applicants who have been successful come back onto the forum and can answer questions! Please stay around! With a new system like this, there are so many uncertainties and, because the form is only online now and we cannot see it, we have no idea what to expect.
As I read of others experiences and trying to get my head round it all, more questions crop up! Firstly, can you download and print your completed application form before being directed to the Sopra Steria site for an appointment? Can you also see the documents you uploaded as a list? Also I underst...
Thanks! That is helpful. My concern is my husband's abundance of passports which I am intending to scan myself and I guess upload. I presume I could either just upload those myself and pay for the Centre to upload the rest of his documents or upload everything myself. I will decide nearer the time a...
I am wondering too if the whole process could be done using an iPad. I know I can scan everything and save as pdf's but not sure I can upload without a computer.
The experience has been different for different people. Even I haven't received any emails and I got a letter saying my application has been approved and that I would get the brp in a separate mail. Still waiting for it. The process is not consistent at all. Thank you for your response. May i ask h...
If I upload my supporting documents by myself do I still need to pay for scanning them? Or do I need to pay for checking them? Can I only pay for biometrics and upload my docs by myself? Yes, you can upload your own documents if you choose to do so. You can also get them checked for an extra cost b...
There are several posts in this forum where applicants have paid for the 24 hour decision but have not heard for up to five or six days. It appears that while the decision may be made quickly, the letter confirming approval can take several days. In a couple of cases, the BRP has arrived sooner tha...

I can imagine your stress! Not sure what you can do at this point. I dont believe you can post the application so your only option is to find a Centre where you can get an appointment tomorrow! I believe they say you can pay to get a next day appointment? But you may have to travel. As to the employ...
Hi all, Few updates, last weekend I got a letter with the decision. It's POSITIVE. I am now settled! Hiccup: the letter came without the BRP. I am now waiting for the BRP to arrive. This was also a bit messy. They use DX and they don't tell you when the package will arrive. It must be signed for (f...
I am not sure this has been asked before but, once you start the online application form, can you go back and edit answers you have already given? I understand there are different sections in most categories. If this is the case, does it mean that once you have completed a section, you cannot return...
