Be happy that your decision has been made. And why don't you contact VFS and see, they might have received by now. What they say when you contact the home office?

Plus I also suggest you to involve your MP immediately. If they have misplaced your passport they should take the complete accountability.

Have been to gov.uk but can't seem to find it, can u send me a link please? Thank you

Hi thank you so much for your quick response i reaaally appreciate

The e-payslips were only stamped and it wasn t signed by the employer and that is why am worried,but i ve also submitted a headed paper letter from employer as well as my husband s job contract.

Actually am submitting from morocco and the only express way to send documents is dhl,do u think they will send the documents back to morocco within a normal package or what are they going to do in this case????

In fact i had 2 previous expired passports i wanted to send them as i referred to them in the online application because they ask about any previous travel document i ve had before,i have attached copies of them and a written note explaining why i couldn t send them and my current passport was submitted at tlscontact when biometrics were taken.

Apart from this everything is perfect and my solicitor told me that we were very prepared that i don t have to worry and that it should be fine,but am such a worried persob especially that we ve survived 2 previous refusals i hope this time my visa will be granted i can t stand being far from my love anymore especially that this distance lasted for 5 years

Plz help

As Rez says, if you had the payslips certified by employer you should be fine. If not, I would expect ECO to contact you wanting more evidence, which will result in delays. Shame you didn't attach explanation for e-payslips - they would be acting unreasonably if they refused application due to insufficient proof when you've enclosed explanation.

I'm puzzled you talk about sending expired passport. No passport should be sent to Sheffield. If it contains support evidence the pages should be copied onto A4 (which you did) and certified by lawyer. Were they certified?

I read someone else didn't put postage on envelope to return docs. Sheffield sent email asking what what she wanted done with the docs - returned (in which case send postage) or destroyed? I think it likely you will receive same email.

Thank you for ur answer.
In fact the payslips were only stamped but not signed,and they contain evey necessary information and the paid sum matches what is on the bank statment so am i safe if they are only stamped?

Previous copies of passport were only copied but not cerified

I ve explained all that to our solicitor and she said that it s fine.

OMG am so worried now hope everything will be fine

brynmaxwell

I'm surprised solicitor didn't tell you to provide certified copies of both items. Its always advisable to have certs. for important stuff, although I have read other applicants saying Sheffield is no longer insisting on them.

Personally, I think it likely Sheffield will contact you wanting further proof of income cos meeting financial requirement is BIG issue.

I presume your husband is in UK - why didn't you put his address to return docs?

fatymoroc

In fact we meet the financial requirement even when the caclculatiob in made out of the lowest payslips,the thing is that our payslips are only stamped whish i think is enough to show that they are originals.

Well i only have to wait to see what Mr ECO would say if they require other documents i will be sending them back.

Didn t think abt providing my husband s adress but I hope there will be a solution as they must be aware that dhl morocco do not privide prepaid envelop.

That you very much for ur asnwers and I hope everything will be fin for me

Got a phone call from my MP yesterday Sheffield had been in touch and was told should have a decision within 20 working days. So in other words my telephone calls and email has been a waste of time. I made a telephone call on the 24 July and was supposedly escalated and an answer in 15 days. The 15 working days is up and I have to wait another 20 working days. Me thinking I have been done!!!

Actually what's wrong with these people??? This is ridiculous! I am so hopeless about mine now. Do they need 3 months to evaluate a relationship whether it is genuine or not whereas other countries would take maximum 4 weeks to process a spouse visa.
