Is this really the documentation received email? It says "if you or your UK sponsor have not already submitted your supporting documentation please ensure you follow the process listed below: UKVI is unable to consider your application without these documents."
That sentence doesn't seem to provide any assurance that they received the documentation.
Yes, it is the documents received email. It is worded that way because it is the same email for all countries, but each country has a different way of submitting the documents.
- in the US, all the documents are submitted at the same time, in the same package (or uploaded before sending the package), and they go to New York
- in some countries, all the documents are submitted in person at the biometrics appointment
- in other countries, the applicant submits their passport and application at the biometrics appointment and then their sponsor has a certain period of time after that to mail the documents to Sheffield from inside the UK.
So, that email covers all the scenarios. As you applied in the US, you just ignore the ‘if you haven’t sent your documents yet’ part because you have already sent them (and will only receive that email if they already have them).
