Since I spent a week away from home, I missed a delivery from the UKBA. I assume it is my documents, however I didn't get any email informing the decision, just the documents sent straight away. The delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. I hope it's been approved.

No, Its optional. just for the safe return of your important documents. if you don't send it then home office return your documents in normal post, people include that envelop for their peace of mind.

Hey guys,

Today I received my BRP via DX delivery company, which means I GOT MY VISA!!!! Thank everyone for the comments in this forum. Hopefully it will be easier to apply for the 2nd extension in 2.5 years. Good luck to whoever is waiting on the visa to come :)

Thank you!
