Thanks, John. I've had a look at that site and am now more confused! It says:

" If an applicant is asked to attend for a visa interview, their passport and supporting documents will be returned to them, and they will be asked to attend for an interview at British Embassy Manila".

TT returned her passport, but, AFAIA, the embassy still has the supporting docs? Should she expect to have the docs returned and take them with her to the interview? Or will the Embassy make them available when she arrives?

Welcome to the forum, your GF's passport has most probably been returned assuming that the laminated strip has been sorted out, because she needs it to go to the Embassy for her interview, without it, she wont get pased the guards at the steps, its as simple as that, the remainder of the documents, may in this case have been retained by UKVacs, to be passed over to the Embassy for her interview, I would not be unduly perturbed by this, its this simple, if she does not receive any supporting documentation back, thats good news, it means her interview will go forward as normal.

John has given you good advice, Pauldo has also alluded to some very useful interview and preparation tips, if you want to get you GF to go online and get some interview experience, you can also yourself read at

and follow this thread, get your GF to read about how entry clearance officers make decisiions, dress is normally formal as Pauldo has said, tube top, flip flop, tank top, back flop, braless and stainless is definately out.
