I dunno what to make off it, I rang my solicitor and he said that it is fine if it says request refund.
Nothing is confirmed untill you open that envolope and check the visa! :(

Documents received at Sheffield: 03/08/2015 (Royal Mail Signed For)

Todate, I have not received any email notifiation that my documents have been received at Sheffield. All that my wife has received is a Text message from Gerrys on 28th July 2015 that her application and passport have been forwared to UKVI. I am very worried! Is this normal?

I did not send a pre-paid return envelope and still I have received no email or letter to this effect.

I emailed UKVI for an update and I received an email on the 9th September 2015 that my 'Application has not been uploaded'. What does this mean?

Can someone please help!
Online Application: 16/07/2015
Biometrics: 28/07/2015
