Sheffield sent sponsor documents back!!!

Post by sofia789 » Sat Jun 10, 2017 3:42 pm

Yesterday, I have received all the sponsor documents back.
We launched application on 14 May, paid for it on 15th May.
Which also include British Council Lahore's sent IELTS Life Skills report form directly to Sheffield as my husband lost the orginal.
He took 2nd IELTS general training test and I sent it the original to Sheffield, that one has also come back. I sent Landlord's permission letter later, they linked to my file and send it back as well.
I sent first pile of sponsor docs on 19 May 2017 to Sheffield.
British council Lahore sent IELTS Life skills original report to Sheffield on 24 May 17 through FEDEX.
I sent landlord's permission letter on 24th May 17 as forgot to put in main red folder.
Lastly, I sent IELTS general training original report on 3rd June 2017.

Sheffield has been linking all the received docs together and putting in my sent A3 plastic wallet, which has my main red folder in it.
They have also returned 16 pound worth of paid self addressed special delivery envelop without using it.
They used another paid self addressed envelop which I sent with 2nd IELTS report, worth of 6 pounds. UKVI has put extra stamps to cover the weight of whole 1 kg from their own pocket, they didn't use my stamps from the first envelop which I sent worth or 16 pounds.
I can't beleive that they have been linking everything to my main sent red folder on 19 May. Even British Council Lahore didn't mention any reference number of visa applicantion (GWF number) in their cover letter at all. British council was not willling to send IELTS report Form to Sheffield's POBOX address at all. We had tough time to convince them that they have to send it to that address.

There is a cover letter saying in the end, "...............Should we require anything further from you we will contact you via the email address you have supplied. In due course, the applican will receiev a decision on the application."
They have chosen docs and photo copied the ones they needed, they only chose 4 pics out of 28 to be photocopied.
How long would it take them to contact my husband in Pakistan to give him the decision? How would they contact him?

It can take up to 24 weeks. Many people have delays. They will likely contact him by email to say a decision has been made.
