Well that was a big data protection fail on their part! The GWF is found on the visa4uk online application that would have been filled out.

The tracking is rubbish anyway. All it does is tell you that you've submitted it (which you know), tell you it's gone to British High Council aprox 2 weeks later (but only if they can be bothered updating it), and then tells you when it's Ready For Collection (but you usually get a call/email/text anyway). It's not like it gives us step by step updates as to what checks are being done and in what order or gives us up to date service levels. I think I've only checked it once since my hubby submitted his application because of how basic it is

Dont Ask about documents, the total weight was 4KG + Photocopies.
I am a director of a ltd company last visa was rejected in November this time I sent all the documents and the rejection letter and explanation and I think they just checked the missing documents from the last application.
For English requirement I sent the Degree + UK Naric Statement of comparability+ UK NARIC English assessment.
