Removing unnecessary/ irrelevant pages from an appl form

Ok, it is perhaps an odd question and I am maybe over-analysing;

I have been filling my ILR application form SET(O) under 10 year long stay category. There are loads of pages that relate to other categories on the form. In fact it looks like half of the form was written for Tier 1 applicants and they do not relate to me. This makes things harder to manage and increases the photocopy load.

In your experience, do you think it would be acceptable to just remove these irrelevant pages if they do not relate to the category you are applying for? Mainly for the sake of saving trees!

1.No you shouldn't exclude pages which is not relevant for you. Application form means a full application with all the pages in it whether its relevant toy you or not

2. why do you want to photocopy application form ? its not a requirement nor CW is not asking for that ? If its only for your reference then you can do as you suggest. photocopy only the pages you fill , if that saves that much of trees ! lol

Thanks for your reply,

You are right I guess. I will keep this 50 page puzzle in one piece.

I think photocopying it is good practice. I know a few people whose applications and passports have been lost during the visa applications. My police registration form was lost by HO years ago.
