So which is it please?

Along with the originals, do we have to send photocopied sets of our application documents?

Thanks.

Applying for extension for four dependants as well as myself simultaneously from the UK.

didn't check (as in didn't put a cross in) the question that asks if i "have ever applied at home office to remain in the uk" - well, i have never applied to remain in the uk, but i didn't check it. second, filled in information about children in a box where it was not needed; my children ...
