Some concerns with settlement application
Hi everyone. I have just submitted my application for Marriage Settlement in UK last Nov 29, done with biometrics the same day and mailed supporting documents to Sheffield yesterday Dec 3. However, I have the following concerns. Hope you can enlighten me with these:
1. I failed to write the local center in the envelope! Silly. I was able to write the GWF number but missed to include the local center. Will this cause substantial delay in processing?
2. I submitted an Academic IELTS for UKVI instead of just Life Skills A1. It was stated in the takeielts website that IELTS for UKVI can be used where Life Skills are used. But I saw in other forums that this has caused refusal of their visa. Have any of you experienced the same?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Some concerns with settlement application
1. Not sure what you mean by this question.
2. I'm afraid all the evidence is that using an Academic IELTS test result to meet the English language requirement will normally lead to a refusal.

Thank you so much BritInParis!
Sorry to clarify the first one, it was stated that documents sent to Sheffield should include the GWF number and visa application center location. However, I was able to write the GWF number only. Would the missing center location on the envelope matter a lot?
Oh no I'm really hoping for a miracle for the IELTS. Is it necessary to indicate the IELTS UKVI number on the application form? I wasn't able to but provided the original certificate.
