Hi,

Not too clear on which ones should be photocopied & Which ones need any attestation.
Can someone help clarifying for individual items?

I'm planning for a Same day service.

Should we give SET(O) form + all photocopies to HO guys and just provide originals only when asked?
OR
SET(O) form + all originals?


SET(O) form

Passport ... Do i need to carry a photocopy as well?
Biometric card ... Do i need to carry a photocopy as well?

Set(O) plus all Originals and photocopies of all. Bank statements can be photocopy of first page only.

Caseworker will ask you for documents as they work through their checklist and best is to advise them as you go along that you have photocopies then they don't need to make photocopies when you are there.

Thanks CR.

Didnt quite get this "Bank statements can be photocopy of first page only." I got 12 months Statement from Bank. So need to photocopy full set of 12 statements now. What are you suggesting?

photocopy only the first page of bank statements showing name, address and balance etc. take original full statements for application though.

In most cases you won't even be able to see the case worker so better to submit all originals & photocopies together, your originals will be returned, also photocopy the entire bank statement instead of doing a piecemeal job, you should submit copies of all originals submitted with the application
