Hello Chaps,

Does anyone sent additional documents then succeeded afterwards. How long did it take for your application to be completed after you sent it?

I sent an additional bank statement over a duration prior to the previous one on the same account four weeks ago. Now it's been ten weeks since my initial submission. The progress still seems very intermittent and I don't know how long it will take further

I'm afraid the case worker may start to really look into my case six weeks since I sent the addition doc, which means in two weeks' time. Anyone can give me a clue?

Bunti, thanks very much for your reply. Could you tell me how long it did take for your passport to be returned after you sent the additional documents? BTW, I sent additional document along with change of circumstances form as well.

Bunti,

Another question is when you sent additional docs since your initial submission. I just try to figure out the rough timeline regarding additional docs.

wp_to_tier1_168, I dont think there is any standard time frame incase if you send additional documents.

I sent additional information on the driving convictions but in my case it took normal time which is 5 to 6 weeks... seriously it depends on the case worker dealing with your case...

btw.. did you call UKBA for the conformation on the reciept of your additioanl documents?

My understandin says that if documents are recieved before application is allocated to the case worker, it will follow the normal proces.. incase if application is already with the case worker (decision already taken/or under consideration) and then you send more docs.. he might pass this to his seniors for advice/re-review... this is what i was conveyed over the phone..

nksg, thanks for your reply.

Yes, I confirmed it has been received by them. I think the time when I sent it, my application has already been with the case worker and probably just under consideration, as I had checked it after the submission. And so far since then, the progress has been very very slow, "awaiting futher consideration" for nearly 4 weeks except "under consideration" only once per week. so frustaring...

Honestly.. in my case before i sent the docs.. i was told the name of the case worker.. the helpline guy told me to send the doc.. FO.. MR <caseworker name>.. but when i got my approval.. it was signed by some one else..

To what i know and i have seen its usually the case workers signatures you expect to see on the approval letter.. i think after i sent futher info, it was refered to some other case worker...

nksg, How did you manage to get the case worker name? Normally, the enquiry guys are very reluctant to give more information than status.

With regards to additional documents sent after initial application, I have a question. I submitted my application on 28th Feb and looking at normal timframe of approval (6 weeks), my file would come up with case worker sometime after 10th April.

My question is: Can I submit Income tax return for my Indian income as additional docs. As 31st March '09 is last date of fin year, the return can be filed on 1st April '09 and the acknowledgement can be received in UK by end of first week in April.

I have claimed inome for period ending 31st Jan '09 and can get a CAs letter & invoices to show Indian income was received before 31st Jan.

If I do submit the IT return, will it be considered against application date or 31st March. The prob is that between Jan & March I move into diff age slab and lose 5 points

Please advise

They are "reluctant".. but that does not mean they dont.. depends on the person you are talking to.. in my case it worked..
