Just breathing a huge sigh of relief, the shipping labels arrived in my inbox this morning  :D

Tomorrow biometrics  :)

Oh, that is a relief.  :)

Biometrics is easy, he'll be in and out in no time. Just make sure to take the sheet with the barcode and that they stamp it while he is there.
He'll need his passport too.
No-one in the past has ever needed to bring their application with them (as it is not required for applicants from the US, contrary to what the email may say) however someone here recently reported that their UCIS office insisted on seeing the application so maybe best to have it in the car, just in case.  :)

Good morning Larrabee

Just a quick question regarding posting appendix 2 and supporting documents.
Are you able to advise me what order to place everything in please?

Morning! ;D

Priority receipt on top.

Then I'd put the other receipts and application forms, admin stuff like passports/pics.

It doesn't really matter which order the rest goes in but keep it in terms of the requirements so financial, accommodation, relationship. Keep the evidence from each category together.

Then your photocopies.

***DO NOT forget to mark the outside of your package. People do sometimes forget in all the excitement. Then there is a lot of worry and extra work that you don't want! Take a sharpie with you.  :)

Good luck!  ;D

Yes, please do that!  :D

For the next stage of the proceedings you should start eating lots of all the foods that you are going to miss having when you are in the UK.  ;D
