scanning documents for ILR

Post by yukapion » Fri Jun 28, 2019 5:17 pm

Hello,

I wonder if anyone can comment their experience if you have done the super priority service recently. I'm getting a mixed review about scanning document service at the visa centre. On this forum, people seem to suggest it's better to scan everything beforehands to make it easier on the day as sometimes there are issues with scanner at the centre? However, I spoke to an immigration lawyer and he said he knows a client who scanned documents himself but missed something and got rejected. The lawyer recommends me to choose the scanning document service at the centre.

Anyone has any thoughts on these? If I'm very careful and I know that I will be able to scan everything before my appointment. Is it better to do it myself?
Or is it better to leave it for the staff at the centre who will do it for me and if something goes wrong, it's their faults?

Many thanks!!

There is an existing topic with members experiences and many other topics. Most scan their own documents. Don't believe everything lawyers tell you. One person missing a documents and getting refused is not the norm and likely a rare occurrence. It is your responsibility to submit what is required. Ukcvas is not an advisor or ho staff.

In my opinion if someone is reasonably computer literate then instead paying to ukvcas centre just for document scanning then better to buy his own scanner. Usually the applicant is given few days until that he can keep uploading his documents which he should definitely avail. Only this way you can be known that everything has completely been uploaded because UKVCAS staff may miss something to scan and on refusal they won't accept any responsibility.
