Hey Guys,
I was in the same confusing state for last few months. I applied for extension of FLR M (second period of leave to remain) and as usual I was worried as I couldn't submit all the required correspondence (six documents from 3 different sources) for my previous address as we were living with our in laws for few months post our marriage on Jan 2013 and we had our names on only 2 sources ( I gave a letter from my in laws stating that we lived with them for few months). Also, I did not submit bank statements from last 6 months (only 3 of last 6 months were submitted). On the top, year of our wedding on the marriage certificate was written wrong in error (2012 instead of 2013). I had to submit 4 justification letters to explain all these issues. I Worries got escalated when I received that my application was invalid as I did not attach photographs on page 1 of application form (I sent them in envelope separately). Here is my visa timeline.
18/07/2015 - Visa application submitted (special delivery)
19/07/2015 - Received and signed by Home Office (durham office)
21/07/2015 - Fees deducted from account
26/07/2015 - Received acknowledge letter, Biometric request and invalidation letter received in one package. Invalidation letter requested to submit application form with photos attached on 1st page (as described in guidelines) within 10 days in pre-stamped envelope with sheffield address on it.
27/07/2015 - Updated Application form was submitted to Sheffield office
28/07/2015 - Biometric was given

10/09/2015 - Package was received with all documents and a letter stating that visa application is approved.
I am awaiting Biometric residence permit now....
Thanks to this forum for giving me so much guidance and others for sharing their experiences. I felt that to be thankful to this forum, I should share my experience as well.
Good luck to those waiting for their visas.
