‘Twas the nite before Biometrics (FLRM)

Just sitting here feeling ready and done...all dox uploaded, covering letter explaining my typo (passport # on app had last digit wrong 😩) - also explains my lease being month-to-month after year 1 (is specifically spelled out in lease which said what section to look at) - listed out each document and where they were uploaded, and then a listing of all mail (that I had reviewed here—thanks Ksand) -

So why am I so uneasy!?! Anyone have any last minute advice or am I just paranoid. I think I’ve been just working on this here and there for so long it feels disjointed.

I am right there with you hun. Ive been waking up every night panicking because I have thought of some other little stupid discrepency on payslips or this or that. Having to re-scan my documents to be under 6mb DID NOT help as I caught other stupid things. I am in a constant state of panic and heart palpiltations out of fear and no amount of logic I try to talk myself into helps. I want it over but am also dreading it.

Before I had to re-scan things and caught other little stupid bits, I managed to feel some peace by looking into the trip to Scotland my husband and I want to take next month to de-tox from all of this.  It did help at the time. I think a holiday is definately due for all of us when this hell ends for us. Maybe try to look into something like that? Its hard for me to think beyond my FLR expiry date, but it helped yesterday.

Btw....in what folder did you put your explanation letter? Im uploading things now and not sure where to put mine.

How funny! We just booked a place for a weekend away in a few weeks (also Scotland! But I actually live here already!) - it will definitely help. I hope I don’t get too crazy nervous/ heart palpitations  like i did first go around.

I put the cover letter in the first category of the Mandatory and the first category of the Optional (others I think it was) - I said “Covering letter please read first” In the description haha.

it is SO normal to feel like this. you got this though!! you know you're prepared, just gotta make it through the appointment. good luck!

I worry if people aren't worried! 

You're done a great job with the research... it's in the bag! 

Thanks everyone! It went fine! They even corrected my passport number typo there on the spot (I won’t even worry one bit that now my cover letter won’t make sense 😂) - I showed up 1/2 hour early and was in and out before my appointment time. Now we wait...I’m 89% confident it’s all good. Nah 98%! Thanks again to everyone who has helped me with my questions

Glad it ran smoothly. Fingers crossed for you.

Out of curiosity...did they say anything about you putting payslips and bank statements under "finances"? Ive done that but am now wondering if i should put payslips under "sponsors/employment."
My brain wont stop obsessing over things

They didn’t say anything - but I didn’t pay for any services as it was a core appointment. I had the same thought but the way I decided to label the bank statements I did “Bank Statement - 29 Nov - Payslip 6” so I thought it made more sense to keep them together . I think as long as the documents are there, they can’t fault you for not putting them into the exact categories they never tell you instructions on what to do! I did do what larrabee suggested on your thread and did a table of contents on my cover letter

Yea. I wrote a cover letter and an explanation letter too.

I don't know about you, but I'm going nuts. I actually had to call my friend yesterday to talk me down cause I was at the point of inventing issues out of thin air to panic about.

For now I’m surprisingly ok. I see all these people on this fb group getting “yes” results and I feel smugly that the advice on this forum is so much better - and now that it’s over and submitted there’s nothing more to do so.... pour the vino and wait! (Ask me again in 2 weeks though and I’m sure I’ll be a wreck 😆)

Best of luck.

Question...you didn't have to submit a passport photo of your sponsor, did you? I just realised that I haven't seen anything calling for that on this application even though it was required on the previous two. I know we get our pictures taken at the appt and that's why we don't submit ones for ourselves...just seems weird that the sponsor photo requirement is gone.

The passport photo requirement is no more.

Huh. Do you happen to know why? Its weird they have suddenly scrapped it

To be honest, I don’t think they’ve been needed for years, it’s just that it took them ages to update the requirements.

They will have a photo of you from biometrics and one of your sponsor from their passport so I guess they finally decided it was a waste of time you sending passport photos as well.
