Hey,


I tried to email you back, it was saying email can not be delivered.

The email is automated, I am sure they have received it, to be on the safe side contact them via UKVI email form, and ask them to confirm receipt of supporting documents. it may take a week before they reply. They sent the same to my husband and later confirmed they had received it, so had the other guy that had the same issue.




hope that helps

Thank you.

If you feel like posting the list of your supporting documents, I wouldn't mind, to guide someone like me finally compiling all my documents. If not then it's ok.

I wish you a safe trip to the UK.

I just left the VAC and I was given this address
*International Operation and Visa, Home Office, UK Boarder Agency, UK VISAS AND IMMIGRATION, P.O. Box 3468, Sheffield, S3 8WA*.

Should I send my supporting docs to Vulcan house?

What did you eventually do? I sent the supporting documents to *International Operation and Visa, Home Office, UK Boarder Agency, UK VISAS AND IMMIGRATION, P.O. Box 3468, Sheffield, S3 8WA*. That's where we were told to send it by the VAC and on the TSL website. I believe we sent it to the right address, my hubby received an email on the 28th stating we should send it to the Vulcan House too.

What are you planning on doing?

Hi,

They are both the same. The Po box means they go an pick it up from the post office. They received mine. The email they sent was automated, but they confirmed receipt. You could send it to either I guess but I would go with the PO box to follow instruction. I would also write your gwf number on the front and back of the envelope and make sure you send it by recorded delivery, so you can track it. And make sure you make copies for yourself separate to the ones you send to them.


Make sure it's properly organised too.
Good luck. It is well by Gods grace

please i need help. i'm applying to join my wife in the uk. First of all is it the settlement-husband visa i will use.

secondly i have filled the online form for that category, not yet submitted. i found also another form online appendix 2 of vaf4a. Do i need to fill that as well? Does my spouse need to send anything from her end direct to sheffield as shes given me most of the documents?

please someone help, its a bit confusing

let me know the documents i need to send. also im a writer so unemployed because not yet earning money from my writing but my spouse meets the financial requirements of 18600. does this mean anything

please help

You need to fill in appendix 2, it is your wife that will submit everything. the only thing they will take from you at the VAC is your passport and application form. Everything else from appendix 2 all the way to relationship documents to maintenance documents to accommodation documents will need to be sent to Sheffield. its easier if your wife sends it to Sheffield as she can track it and organise it correctly. your wife earns enough it doesn't matter if you are not earning as long as she is.



Hope that helps

Have you requested vulture house to confirm receipt?

I have sent them a letter explaining the situation, with the tracking receipt, TSLcontact with the PO BOX address, the address slip received from the VAC just to clarify this was not human error on my part sent the same letter to the PO BOX address.

I sent an email form to UKVI and they have said they will escalated the issue. i'll probably send an envelope tomorrow as you suggested again with a note.

Lexusgs430:
Prayer ke? This matter pass prayer oooo......... Where did you send documentations to?

It seems a common trend of applicants sending documents to the wrong place.

What you do to remedy is - :
(1) Send SAE paid (next day delivery) to the wrong address you sent it to (with your application reference, contact telephone number + a brief letter)
(2) Send Vulture house an email explaining your error, and remedies taken and plead for more time for redirection (not unless you have an extra £1200 in your back pocket, for another application)
(3) In your letter to the wrong address, request either a telephone call or email, the moment redirection is effected (plead and beg for this, for your peace of mind)......

But it can't have gone to the wrong place. I sent to yo the place the VAC and TSL contact said we should send the application. Could they have provided the wrong address? The email is automated which makes me think perhaps they haven't been able to process the documents into their system. I will write a letter and do what you said though. It's just frustrating.

Which form are you filling out?

Bibra800:
Hi guys,Justwise

I hope everyone is well .I munched this from a page to use as guidance .Can someone please tell me what she means by a cover letter? I haven't seen this in other people's documents they listed.

Also, I have a child with my husband (British citizen so not applying for settlement) but on the form there is no space asking about it .Am I expected to mention it and if yes, how? Please help,I believe this is relevant information and I don't want to be penalized for not disclosing relevant information .

hi all,


This this thread is amazing and a God send. God bless all of you who have contributed with answers and advice. Thank you all.

My husband had his biometric enrolment on the 14th Feb 2017, I sent the documents by Special delivery and they were received and collected on the 21st Feb. Now they said we have 2 weeks to send our supporting documents, but on the 28th Feb, hubby received an email stating they had not received our supporting documents. My body instantly got hot and I started worrying. I am not sure what to do other than pray, the UKVI phone people were not very helpful as they have no role or access to contacting Sheffield.


I am not really sure what to do. any advice has this happened to anyone before?
