Dont worry mykarl123, its normal, Hopefully you will get your documents back with approval letter.
You just keep tracking your envelope online from post office website, i am sure you sent a special delivery envelope.
as soon as HO post it back, you will know it.
Good Luck
Hi They asked me to send my original document.
Initially they were asking me to send my orginal passport
and again I received a letter stating it they need my original documents.
Why you worry too much? you should feel lucky that atleast they working on your application. just send them what ever they asking.
keep in mind you are lucky than me, I am waiting since 17th Dec 14, nothing happening with me.
I hope you will get your approval very soon.
