1- If you applied online, how is your approval letter arriving?
It is NOT required to send originals if using the UKCVAS service unless HO specifically writes to you and asks for them.2- If you applied online, did you send any physical documents in?
Lol, don't rugby tackle the postman daily thoughI can now stop worrying I've missed an email, and start sitting by the door.
That is a horrible aspect of this service. The waiting with no information/updates. It could drive you nuts. What I ultimately did to calm myself from checking my mailbox everyday and rugby-tackling the post person was the observation that most (not all, but most) decision letters appear to be delivered on Friday or Saturday. That way, when I saw the post person on a Wednesday, I just let her be

We applied online (me and my partner) about two months ago, then biometrics and uploaded documents in Cardiff. HO contacted me few days ago via EMAIL ONLY (check Your junk box just in case) regarding additional documents request, which we need provide by post or email by end of June or our application will be refused.
All sorted now, well... I hope that HO received email, I'll call them tomorrow, but what I wanted to say is that HO may contact You via EMAIL ONLY regarding additional documents, no traditional post at all here, at this stage.
So in summary if I would not check "email" for two weeks, then probably I would be negatively surprised.
If you respond directly to the person who emailed you, that will be sufficient. Sending a second communication by mail may actually further slow your application down by creating more work for the caseworker. I know it's nerve wracking and one will not want to leave anything to chance.martin_k wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 11:14 amI tried reach them by phone just now, unsuccessfully, after choosing carefully several proper options I was in stage like: "if Your application is less than 6mths old press 1, if over 6mths 2. So I pressed 1 and: "Home Office will contact You if necessary" beep beep....
Home Office is huge department I think, I don't think so that I'll get real instant answer regarding my email... so "plan B" to be safe. I was requested to prove my last 2years of residence, for example by: P60s, payslips, letters from employers. Originally included mortgage statement, looks like not good enough. So I emailed P60s, but because of no any indication about that email was reached correct person, I'll use provided postal address to post recorded letter with letter from employer and a note about situation with email. This way I should be OK, and I should be not to worry if documents not reached by end of the month and application being refused. On top of it that's just letter from employer, no problems if somehow will be lost. So basically I sent valuable documents via email, but because of no any confirmation less valuable documents but still acceptable via post. It make sense? I hope, and I hope that my situation will help anyone with same problem.

You applied 22.03, I applied 29.03, Your Cardiff appointment was on 04.04, my was on 29.04... but as I was told "up to 6mths waiting time is". I have noticed that there is no rule about it, some with 5+1year residence had answers within just a month, some with 10years+ were waiting for months... no rule at all, so fingers crossed, and don't be worry, You will get email/letter at some point, overthinking is the killer
