Hi Guys,

Me and my wife are applying for spouse visa soon. I am based in UK and my wife in Pakistan. I have an urgent query regarding how the supporting documents are going to be submitted after Biometric appointment. On the VFS global website [[url]https://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/pk/en/how-to-apply] it says that all the supporting documents are to be scanned with barcode separator at the VAC but its not clear yet. Since on the forums everyone says it needs to be posted by the Sponser (me in our case) to Sheffield.

• Bring all supporting documentation (originals and copies), sorted and separated according to the supporting documents guidelines

Can anyone please help? Do I have to send all the documents I have with me in UK to my wife in Pakistan and she'll have to take all of them with her when she'll go for her biometric appointment or I have to post them to Sheffield after she has done her biometric appointment ?

Some help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Kind Regards,
WAM.

Have a look at this page: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/c...ed-in-pakistan

You take the documents with you only if you want to use the scanning service. Otherwise, you post them to Sheffield.

I had the same issue myself initially as indicated on the gov.uk website where I applied.

My wife (applicant) went to her appointment at the VAC in Mirpur, Pakistan on the 13th Feb 2019 and they said that they do not scan it at the VAC but the sponsor has to send it to Sheffield from the UK.

So my wife sent them back to me recorded DHL so I could send them to Sheffield total nightmare.

The following week iv heard that the Gerry office is scanning peoples documents. (Not confirmed)

What VAC office is your wife going to go?

If its Mirpur (Gerry) VAC get your wife to call them to confirm the number is: +92 58274 38001

She'll be going to Karachi VAC. I am ok with sending documents myself to Sheffield. Just wanted to know if this process has been discontinued or we can do both.

If I was you id send your documents direct to Sheffield from the UK.

Just make sure you dont use Parcel Force at the Post Office, as they do not deliver to PO Boxes and it will get delayed getting to the correct place.

The address for sending supporting documents is:
UK Visas and Immigration International
Po Box 5852
SHEFFIELD
