They've made it so unclear. Do you think as long as all the documents are there they'll accept it? Can they refuse it for being in the wrong order?
Yes and yes. No need to worry.
The thing is, they have provided the barcode dividers but no guidance on what documents go where. I'm not sure where to put what. There appears to be 2 different dividers for financial documents so I'm stumped.
It doesn't matter what goes where as long as it's in a sensible order. In fact, they didn't used to tell you the order they wanted until AFTER you had already mailed the application!
I would go with the following order:
- Applicant documents (priority receipt, shipping label, cover letter, online application, passport, passport photo)
- Appendix II divider (Appendix 2 form)
- Sponsor Evidence divider (passport copy and sponsor letter)
- Employment Evidence (payslips, employer letter, job contract, P60)
- Financial Evidence divider (bank statements)
- Accommodation Permanent/Temporary divider (Land Registry, invitation letter, name change deed)
- Relationship documents divider (marriage certificate and all the relationship evidence)
In terms of the dividers, I probably would not include the following dividers as you should not be providing any evidence for those sections anyway:
- Educational Evidence (this cannot be considered anyway)
- TB Certificate (I know it was mentioned to send it, but no one applying in the US needs a TB Certificate anyway, so they won't be expecting you to include it)
I'm really nervous now as all my documents are in the US and so I can't do it myself.
It's seriously not an issue, so don't overthink it. UKVI can always rearrange things into the right order if they want.
