forgot to send a photocopy with visa app...

Sent off my tier 4 visa application, priority service, today. It's a lot different than the last time I got a visa, and I didn't realise until just now that I was supposed to send a photocopy of my passport, along with the passport itself. Now, of course I sent the passport. And everything else.

Anyone ever done this? Are they going to send the whole packet back to me because I forgot this copy? Or is it not a big deal? The website says they 'may' send everything back, and in visa-speak, that seems to me that it's usually okay, then. I'm just worried.

Let me know what happens, because I actually did the same thing. Ha. I mailed mine off on Friday and I used a priority service, so if I hear back before you do I'll post what happens.

Different visa, but same thing happened to me. I sent off for my spousal visa and didn't realize I needed to include a photocopy of my passport. I was approved for mine. I worried about it after I'd sent it and realized it, but rationalized that it would be rather silly of them to refuse someone's visa that otherwise met the requirements because of a photocopy.

thanks for that northukbound! hopefully it isn't too worrisome.

and hannah, let's keep each other updated, eh?

UPDATE: even though I didn't have that photocopy and did not write my name on my pictures, I was approved in under 48 hours. Woo!

Great news!
Congratulations. 

All good here - didn't write my name on the pictures or photocopy my passport, and my visa was issued no problem.
