Thank you for sharing your update, it has indeed been very helpful. My husband who is sponsoring my settlement visa is a British citizen living in Sheffield and it appears as though the nearest VFS centre for him is in Manchester. I have my bio metrics appointment in India on the 20th of this month. Do I have to inform VFS /VAC that my husband will be submitting the supporting document in the UK before my appointment date or do I do so on the day of my appointment ? I would be grateful if you kindly let me know if there is a deadline on submitting the supporting documents by the sponsor in the Uk after I the bio metric appointment in India? Also , will my husband have to carry some barcode for the supporting documents when he visit VFS -Manchester ? Sorry , it might seems as though I am asking a lot of questions in one go , I am just trying gain more clarity as it seems impossible to get any guidance from VFS, UKVI and HO.
my advise best to submit after bio-metric appointment.
document needs to submit within 10 working days (priority service) or 20 days (normal service)
Sponsor should carry first page of online application where bar code exists on that page.
my experience with VFS on document scanning and send to UKVI:
on the day, i walked-in( no need any appointment) to VFS-London along with supporting original documents. sponsor has to carry all documents in order(to save some time) and all documents should be in A4 size. if any documents other that A4 size needs to get printout( ex: marriage certificate, TB certificate, Marriage ceremony photos, degree certificates, etc,. or any documents which are bit ticker than normal).
Document scanning process cost you £75 per application.
print out cost you 50p per page in VFS
so my recommendation, take set of print out of all original documents
entire process approx.. 2hrs
i hope you got all necessary information on new process.
good luck.

This is very helpful indeed. Much more informative as opposed to spending money on ringing up UKVI or emailing them .
There are differences in how it is done depending on where you apply from.adshahmat wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 8:28 amThis is interesting!
My wife is attending her biometrics appointment this week - for a Spouse visa.
She's applying in Moscow, Russia, and I assumed that I would then be posting all of our supporting documents to Sheffield.
Do you know if this new process applies ONLY for applicants from India, or is it now a standard process for ALL Spouse visa applications?
BTW, the application centre in Russia is managed by TLS Contact rather than VFS.
Also, another quick question: My wife will take with her to her biometrics appointment a signed print-out of her online application form and her passport. Does she also need a copy of our completed Appendix 2 form... or anything else?
Many thanks for any advice!
Do any one here know the link that accepts the scan of these documents?You can self-upload supporting documents without additional charge. If you wish to self-upload your supporting documents, you should refer to the document checklist you have received as part of your online application.
Any particular reason why you cannot continue in your OWN topic you already have, rather than tagging onto another members thread (note, this is NOT a general question/discussion topic)!!! This is not only unfair to the original poster but it also creates confusion when members respond.rajinlondon wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 11:39 amHi,
Where should the passport be submitted for Visa stamping? Is it in the VFS where the Biometrics are taken or should we send them to Sheffield from India?
Thanks
