Presumably you have included an explanatory note?
I guess it's generally not a good idea to respond differently from what was required. You may find they will remind you to submit the original or otherwise close the application. Not necessarily a refusal but you may have to start again from scratch.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your help. We didn't include a note
we just crossed out the part on the checklist that said sponsor's ID card and wrote underneath that we included just a photocopy instead. This is what it said in the checklist:
"The EEA passport or national identity card for (sponsor) as an EEA
citizen. This document must be genuine and the original (not a copy), and it
must not be expired, cancelled or invalidated. You can take their passport or
identity card to your biometric appointment where it will be scanned and
handed back to you. If you do not UKVI will contact them once your
application has been received with instructions about how to provide their
passport or identity card."
So presumably it is okay to do this and they will contact me to provide it in the UK but somehow I am scared they will see the missing document and refuse or return it as invalid. Just wondering if anyone else has done this.
