Hi, I applied for spouse visa for wife on 8 october 2018 and biometrics done on 10 october.
I have recieved all the documents back along with this letter:
Dear Sir/Madam

Does this mean they made a decision? they sent back documents back within 4 weeks, is this normal? should i be worried?

There is nothing to worry about

I believe this is completely normal and in fact, my documents were also returned back to me before a decision was made.
Just as the letter states, they will contact you should they require you to action anything further.
All the best!!

No it does not mean that a decision has been made. The letter is merely saying they have retained copies of the documents and are returning the originals.
