Query on Submission of original documents to Sheffield

Post by mantrimandal » Tue Aug 22, 2017 5:51 pm

Hello,

I am unable to understand what are the requirements regarding submission of original documents to Sheffield office.

Some sources state that for standard applications these need to be sent to Sheffield with a self addressed return envelope within 20 working days of submitting bio-metrics at the VFS, and 10 working days for priority applications.

And other sources state that for priority applications made at certain VFS offices will scan the documents and sent it to Sheffield, and there is no need for sponsor/applicant to sent these out directly to Sheffield.

There is no date on these circulars, so I cannot identify which is the most recent instruction for applicants and their sponsors.

Also reading the forums, there seem to be confusion regarding the address the application needs to be posted to, can someone please help me with obtaining the right address for this? is this the same as in the circulars i mentioned above?
and what are the suitable courier companies that we can use for India (I have lived in UK for past decade so not aware much about Indian courier companies that deliver to PO BOX addresses, as I understand some do not provide this facility)
Can the documents be sent from VFS office? (with additional fee?)

Thank you and Good luck with our own applications :)

I am assuming you are applying from India.

Latest circular is the one on VFS site:
https://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/india/impor ... ation.html
See the point under the heading "Scanning process for settlement supporting documents" which gives the link to latest circular.

Also VFS do courier the documents to Sheffield for an extra fee, check their site under user pay services:
