No need to apologise, hope you had a good night  :)

Was the upload option only available after you paid for the priority fee? We have yet to purchase our priority but plan to tomorrow but just wanted to be prepared, as we are planning on uploading our documents

The upload action actually came before the payment,  as far as I can remember. Go for it dude!

It will actually be interesting because we can see if the upload application makes a big difference time wise as we can measure it all.

The Guinnesses where nice but my head is thumping lol

Just went on the VFS website and input all the info. I see on right column of the page there are 6 sections, 3rd being document - assuming this is where we are suppose to upload our documents. However once I finish with section 2 (customer details), it skips section 3 (documents) and goes onto section 4  (Services) I want to purchase.

Section 1 Details - I selected the premium application section as 'USA application center' and visa type as 'Settlement'.

Section 2 Customer details - All wife's person details including her online application number

Am I doing something wrong which is making it skip section 3?

Are you still able to upload documents even after you have paid?

Apologies about the delay! I went off to celebrate with a few Guinnesses and an early night.

What we did was Upload a PDF That read as follows

(Spouses Name DOB)
GWFXXXXXXXXXXXXX

APPLICATION BEING SENT BY MAIL TO : ETC

We uploaded a copy for each section and are applying by mail God willing,

Do you remember how many sections there were and how were they divided for upload?

Are you going to a premium application center to do the biometrics ? or are you going to a USCIS center to do the biometrics ?

Looking at their selections, they are going to a USCIS Center (which is what you have to do if you select USA Application Support Centre - there’s no choice in that).

In order to give biometrics at a Premium Centre, you have to purchase the $1900 Settlement Premium Service and then you take your documents to the Premium Centre in person and they will be ‘checked’ (supposedly) and scanned in at the Premium Centre.

No not the premium one, just the regular biometric. But not sure why it bypasses 'Section 3 Documents' after completing section 2. Assuming 'Section 3 Documents' is where it allows you to upload your support documents.
