For applications within the UK you either have to upload the documents yourself or pay for them to do it for you at your appointment. Presumably you didn't choose that service so you will have to do it yourself now.
 

As larabee said, if youre applying from within the UK, you'd either need to upload these to the website yourself or pay for the service. If you are in the UK, it sounds like you may not have paid for the service so wouldve needed to do this yourself... unfortunately, (not to make you prematurely panic) you may not have a chance to now as i believe the person at the appointment submits the documents to HO so you needed to upload before that point (unless somebody else can confirm this isnt the case as i was lead to believe). Hopefully if this happened, HO would contact you assuming there was an error and ask for a copy.

Although maybe youre not in the UK as i cant imagine them letting you leave/agreeing to submit the application without any documents

I uploaded mandatory documents on the website but it didn’t ask for banking statements, payslips all that was mentioned on my checklist. I showed her and she said I already uploaded what I needed to which is hard to believe and she asked the person next to her.

Have a look at your account and see if you can get back in and upload them now. They definitely need to see your financial evidence.

I don’t understand why it says that’s optional when it’s not. Yeah I can log into and upload

I used to read that you can upload supporting documents up until 10pm on the day of your appointment. No idea if this is the case but I would certainly upload the ones you have missed. The term 'mandatory' on the application forms really does not cover all the documents that are required.

As the others have mentioned, the list that is generated for you is really basic and doesn’t include the vast amount of documents you need to upload. From what I remember it just said passport bio, marriage certificate, and divorce certificate if applicable.

If you can’t upload the rest of your documents today then your best bet would be to post them with your passport/application form/stamped biometric etc to NY. I think we could still access the Upload Documents page on VFS the day after biometrics we’re done, but we’d already uploaded everything so didn’t test out whether it would actually accept them. Two days after biometrics the option wasn’t available anymore because the ‘application has been processed’.

Thank you guys for the help! I got it sorted and uploaded what was on the checklist in the optional area: It’s very vague what else needs to be uploaded besides mandatory documents which was basically proof of myself and my husband and declaration, marriage certificate. Glad I went with my gut instinct. Thanks again

Be careful to provide everything that you need. Do not rely on the checklists, apparently none of them necessarily cover it all.

I made sure I over did documents just in case. X
