My wife applied for a Uk visa from canada, she turned up to her biometric appointment and when she got there she had no supporting documentation ie wadge slips, bank statements or a copy of my passport! The lady sent the application of anyway along with her passport etc, she also gave her a letter to tell her she needed to send Apendix 2 Vaf 4a (2013) to an email address enclosed within the letter. Now we are both extremely worried she will be refused her visa because she supplied no supporting documentation. Can she send it to the address on the letter by email? I believe the address was visasheffield@homeoffice.gov.uk we’ve struggled to find any information or faq’s all the way through the process!!! Is supporting documentation required for applicant of all countries or just some? Many thanks

Supporting documents for a visa application
If you applied through Gov.uk you can upload your documents yourself, or bring your original supporting documents and use our Document Scanning Assistance service, at the Visa Application Centre, (For Settlement Customer supporting documents guidance – see below), and we will scan them for you and send them to UK Visas and Immigration. You can also submit photocopies you have made yourself, but they must be clear and legible.

If you have applied for your visa using Visa4uk, bring your original documents, into the Visa Application Centre, and we will scan them, send them to UK Visas and Immigration and hand them back to you. You can also submit photocopies you have made yourself, but they must be clear and legible.

Both processes enable you to keep your supporting documents during the application process.

For a fee you can, at any stage in the process, opt for the Document Scanning Assistance Service at the Visa Application Centre.

Alternatively, you can self-upload supporting documents without additional charge. If you do not have all the documents you need to submit now, you can continue to upload documents at any time before you attend your appointment. If you wish to self-upload your supporting documents, you should refer to the document checklist you have received as part of your online application.

Windrush applications are eligible for free Document Scanning Assistance at the Visa Application Centre. Windrush customers should upload their checklist or a blank document. If nothing is uploaded you will automatically be charged the assisted scan fee and this fee will be refunded to you.

If she given her biometrics very recently then its not late because usually the documents are sent after the biometrics if the applicant's vfs centre has no such facility.
