HELP!!! Sending all the originals without photocopies to UK visa centre including the passports!
Hi,
I'm just wondering if what might happen now that I sent all my original copies needed for my spouse visa. My husband and I attached all the originals including our passports in it!!! I'm worried that they might send it back because of no copies. What are the documents do the UK borders need for them to take for applying FLR(M)? Hope you could help me out on this one or might wanna share your own experience maybe? That would be really be helpful... *so anxious right now!*

HI I just read the Guidance Notes for FLR (M)
https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...otes_04-14.pdf
Documents provided with the application must be
originals. All supporting evidence must be in the
form of original documents. In addition you should
provide photocopies of each of these documents
including any pages of your passport(s) that contain personal details, visas or immigration stamps
(foreign or UK).
...yes you do need to provide photocopies.
Have you got any hard copy of all the documents stored or saved in your computer ? ..if yes , you can provide a copy of each of the documents and send it to them.''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''

Awww, if that's the case I'm afraid I can't help you but I'm sure there are people here in the forum who can answer your question. It's just that I applied for my fiancée visa before in person and a premium appointment. I have both originals and photocopies of the documents submitted that time.
I'm very sorry, hope you'll find answers about your query very soon...

The UKVI service standards for settlement applications are outlined in the official guide to visa processing times. According to the guide, UKVI visa-issuing offices overseas aim to process 95% of partner, spousal and fiancee visa applications within 12 weeks of submission, and 100% within 24 weeks from the date the application is accepted for processing. However, the actual processing time may vary depending on a range of factors, including individual circumstances and the overall complexity of a specific case, as well as the country of application; thus sometimes causing regional backlogs.

Technically maybe, the Home Office could say your application is invalid as you didn't supply all the documents your were asked for.
Well, they can't ask you to send copies now as they have the originals
I think more likely they will photocopy them (why should you anyway - you're paying a premium price for a service and they are too to do it themselves)
I've never heard of anyone being refused a visa for not sending photocopies

Oh yeah, if you've paid for a premium service, then they can photocopy your documents....but as far as I can still recollect with premium service, there's a limited number of pages that they can only photocopy...correct me pips if I'm wrong or if there's some changes about it...
Let's hope for the best....

Cool, I would suggest to send photocopies as I have highlighted in my post above on their guidance notes.
I cannot advise you about the passport as I always renew my passport way ahead of time and dont wait for it to expire whether I am travelling or not.
Processing times for visa??? Nobody knows!!..it is how you present your documents and how busy the UKVI people working on their backlog are etc....transition period etc''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
