thanks for the quick response,
I appreciate that point, but in this case the applicant handed the documents in to the VAF with his application and was handed back the 2 documents by the clerk. would that be a reason for administrative review?

Hi, A friend of mine applied for entry clearance with his Cos in Bangkok, At the office he submitted all documents and was handed back his original work references showing he has more than 3 years experience required for the position.
