If they reject sometimes they keep some as evidence to support rejection in case of appeal but with a successful application they shouldn't really keep anything. I think perhaps they got the covering letter fax and verified everything online and didn't even look at the extra paperwork. So the paperwork is still lying somewhere in the HC, just my theory.

I don't really need the paperwork as I don't have any other use for it but still it would be nice to know where the paperwork is. It is possible that it may arrive separately in UK as it was sent by me and not given by my wife.

May send them a fax if I don't hear back from them in a couple of weeks.

Not really first time I got refused they never kept anything 2nd time they did but it was useless papers that they kept nothing that would help in review etc

BHC = British High Comission

And yes you should count it from the day you get BHC receipt mail.

Now BHC will only receive your passport in Pakistan and the rest of documents will be forwarded to Sheffield by your self or your sponsor.

Hope that answers

So since the new procedure which came into effect on 6th July. All BRP issued has to be collected when your spouse arrives in UK. Successful applicants will be issued with a vignette in their passport which is valid for 30 days from the date you indicated as your intended travel date in your visa application. The vignette is proof only of your permission to enter the UK and will allow you to travel to the UK.
Is this correct?
