Thank you, that does help; I hadn't mentally translated 'Sponsors and engagement' to referee declarations. It does puzzle me why UKVCAS doesn't use the same terminology as UKVI.jafarkuku wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 12:18 amHey,
Proof of Identity / Travel History - Your passport pages containing stamps (they are looking to see the stamps but id advise you scan all pages of all passports even expired ones)
Proof of Application - Your current passport
Sponsors and engagement - Referee declarations
Life events- I Didn't have to submit anything for this.
Residence in uk - Residence permit.
Proof of business - I Didn't have to submit anything for this.
Hope this helps.
I am not a Non-EU citizen, in some ways that would have been easier.Nerazzuri wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 6:38 amAre you a Non-EU citizen at present? If so your passports during the qualifying period (5 years or 3 years depending on if your partner is British) would contain entry stamps each time you return to the UK, so those passports can serve as proof of travel history.
After spending weeks being puzzled, now I am somewhat nonplussed.Nancy DD wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 1:15 pmI am not a Non-EU citizen, in some ways that would have been easier.Nerazzuri wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 6:38 amAre you a Non-EU citizen at present?

Thank you for that, CR001 - the fact that the sopra points staff are not actually relative in any way to either the Home Office or indeed to Sopra was not made clear at any point until I told the lady that I had been advised to take up the issue of a possible £19.20 refund for the biometric enrolment process when I got to my appointment. I'm just keen to avoid any kind of hold-up because of events on my calendar that are not movable, with the steps in mind that will follow the Home Office decision. One of the documents I submitted in the category 'Proof of Life in the UK', in the absence of letters from employers, educational establishments or government agencies during the qualifying period, was an uploaded list of medical and dental appointments, but not the actual documents the list referred to; and not being *asked* to provide those documents, it did not occur to me in the moment (I was not firing on all pistons due to being over-tired) to offer the ones that had not been scanned in and uploaded... <sigh> Now I'll be worrying about getting a phone call or letter asking for additional supporting documents while I am away, either in April or May...CR001 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 6:14 pmYou really are overthinking a little. Important to note that the staff at the sopra points are not home office staff. Sopra is merely a third party agent.
There is NO need to "send originals with a covering note"!! If HO wants to see a document at any point, they will write to you and ask for it.
Ah, I did not know it could be emailed. I was obviously concerned that a list that I included in the uploads was not accompanies/demonstrated by the actual documents in that list. Can I assume that if they want more information, they are likely to contact me within days rather than weeks?Nerazzuri wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 8:52 pmIt sounds like you're at risk of overloading them with more information than they need. If they need something, they will ask you for it and you can email it to them. Mailing them is only valid IF you made a mistake that if you didn't correct would amount to deception.
Too much information only makes the caseworker's job harder, not easier. I know you'd like to have some peace of mind, but you'd be best to trust that they can ask you for information, and you can email it.
