Re: Priority Spouse Visa (Forgot to write PRIORITY outside envelope)

Can you shed some light why was it refused? Just to update I sent them pre-paid envelope with tracking no. and just now it shows they have posted by documents back today. So it clearly means they have opened my application and I have included priority receipt inside so they have taken notice of it.
