but where does it state that ?Originally Posted by darren-b
i've just posted a link that states, Evidence that your sponsor is settled in the UK. (This can be a copy of their passport or registration certificate that has been confirmed as a true copy, in other words 'certified').
whether case workers enforce that or not, it's written in the guidance notes on the HO website. whether you ignore it or not, that's up to you, just as you could ignore any other guidance on there, but if you get a refusal or a letter asking for further evidence/info then that's your own fault for not following the guidance notes
but i agree, its not enough reason on its own for refusal, but if there are other reasons, then maybe sending an uncompleted app will also be mentioned, as i've said its one of the major reasons for refusal. but say you sent only 3 bank statement, no certified copy of your passport then you're chance of refusal for sending a uncompleted app must increase.
just do what they ask, and like 90% of people on here, you will get your visa
