NCS appointment gone TOO well?

[KiloAlphaTango]

So I prepared loads of docs to foolproof my application, included a cover letter to explain my situation (some missing payslips etc) but the lady at the NCS didn't want to know and just took the key docs such as life in the UK, my degree certificate, passport, employer letters and said it will all be fine.

I'm a bit suspicious of this - I've tried applying 3 years ago and got turned down for a lack of some minor bit of paperwork, that time the NCS officer was extremely thorough and double and triple checked every single bit of my application. Today I felt like the agent just skimmed through everything, we were done with the appointment in 20 minutes :-/ She didn't check or total my absences, check whether I had letters and P60s from all employers (I didn't) just kept on saying everything would be fine.

Should I be worried?? I'd be really annoyed if my application gets rejected for lack of sufficient detail and supporting docs when the lady at the NCS did not accept additional docs I was trying to provide...

If they are not happy with the documents you provided, they will contact you. If the documents cover the past 5 years, you shouldn't worry.

Can you please explain?

My NCS appointment was pretty quick and painless as well. It hadn't occurred to me to wonder if that was a problem until now...

I can understand why you'd be nervous after your experience three years ago, but I'd try to relax. Like salmintin said above, if the Home Office want more detail, they'll probably ask for it. Given all the tinkering they do with immigration rules, it might be that the type of proof needed for your application has changed since the last time you applied. Or it might be that whatever they needed proof for last time is so far in the past that it no longer covers your qualifying period and you're good to go.

Either way, I'd take heart in the fact that it was a quick and easy appointment. I think that's more likely to be a sign that your application is straight-forward and won't encounter problems when being considered by the Home Office than it is that your caseworker wasn't doing her job and has doomed you to another rejection.

My NCS appointment was quick and painless too ... Only submitted a few documents so a very thin pile compared to what was required to obtain my PR. Thanks to this forum, I quickly ask for the tracking number as she was already giving my receipt without any tracking details on it.

Hopefully all goes well
